Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

| Quote: Starbug "Ok , lets look at Leigh , small crowds , poor playing squad , unable to compete for local juniors against local SL clubs , the use of a excellent stadium but they dont own it and it is expesive to play at and makes no revenue for the club , so no Leigh are not a potential SL club at the moment and are unlikely to become one in the near future without the intervention of a billionaire , Ok with that
Now then back to the question in point , we are now using a franchise system , a system that is there to enable clubs to reach good standards at all levels , playing , player development , financial , stadia , development of the sport via expansion
At the moment everybody on here seems to agree that we dont have 14 clubs anywhere near that level and yet some are suggesting we increase the number in SL , why when we only have just over 50 % of the clubs in SL at anywhere near that level , yes some clubs are better at different things , but a true SL should have true SUPER clubs in it
Look at the Union comp they set up in the southern hemisphere , it was the Super 8.s , then the 10 , then the 12 , now the 14 , all well financed , well supported fairly competitive clubs
The NRL were forced via the courts to lets Souths back into their comp and despite good finance they struggled for a while , but they introduced the Titans certain they would strengthen the comp
A very strong SL with a stronger 2 nd tier to push them would be a better idea , but that wont happen'"
I ave already said I agree with you but we cannot afford at this stage to send some clubs to the league below... the time for that was when super league began or when we started the new franchise, now we must make do with what we have got. I merley suggest a bigger competition to drag more teams up to a higher standard.

But that is what I am saying , we already dont have the money or players to properly run the 14 we have , so to add more would surely just weaken the ones already in and also reduce any possibility of providing money to help out the lower tiers , surely we want to close the gap , not widen it

| Widnes are the best supported club out the SL by a country mi...... better hadnt say that
But even Widnes had a drop in attendance last season including the (free admission game) but still the best supported by a large margin, so doffs cap to you there.
However Barrow's crowds are flying up and I hope that continues, even if our crowds only rise by 2 or 300 I would be very happy as its steady continued growth, any more and id be delighted.
Barrow away crowd figures are lower than Widnes's due to our location being seen as difficult to travel to and being seen as a lesser attractive fixture historically , however the roads into Barrow have and are improving cutting travel times and the future bridge infrastructures could have a huge impact on this, add in the factor that we are now the defending champions and are producing a quaility side should hopefully incourage more away supporters to inflate out attendance average further.

On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”
[i:24qn1m99]There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back![/i:24qn1m99]

I think the recession has hit everyone. A major factor with our drop last season was the move to Friday and Saturday evenings. We lost 400 season tickets because of that.
Quote: mick wilson "However Barrow's crowds are flying up and I hope that continues, even if our crowds only rise by 2 or 300 I would be very happy as its steady continued growth, any more and id be delighted.'"
I'm sure, with the players you are attracting and the success you're having, you will.
Quote: mick wilson "Barrow away crowd figures are lower than Widnes's due to our location being seen as difficult to travel to and being seen as a lesser attractive fixture historically , however the roads into Barrow have and are improving cutting travel times and the future bridge infrastructures could have a huge impact on this, add in the factor that we are now the defending champions and are producing a quaility side should hopefully incourage more away supporters to inflate out attendance average further.'"
I think away following counts for very little in this league anyway. Very few clubs bring 100 or more supporters, unless it's in the play-offs. Only Leigh ever bring 400 or more to Widnes. We'll miss them next season as a result. So you'll need to rely almost entirely on your own fans. I did notice that most clubs had their largest attendances when Wdnes were visitors though.
There's no Halifax fan's looking, so I think you got away with it.
