Quote WidnesJohn="WidnesJohn"I can drive a coach and horses through that post.
So the Aussies don't take the WCC serious? Would you be saying that had you beaten Wigan in the GF (instead of getting embarrassed) and gone on to beat Sydney Roosters?
The fact is it's down on record forever that Widnes have been World Club Champions. Warrington haven't and your second rate club never will.
Oh, and when we won it it was played in October. The Aussies didn't use it as 'a bit of a holiday' as you claim. In any case who comes from Australia for a 'holiday' in England in October or February???
And we beat a full strength Canberra Raiders team including Mal Meninga. Arguably the greatest RL player of all time.
And then you mention the great 'Huddersfield, Salford, Wire, either Hull side, or Oldham teams of the past'. So, in your dopey eyes, what they were winning in the 50s 60s etc is relevant but what we did in the late 80s isn't relevant? What a very strange viewpoint.'"
This coach and horses thing is catching. I can drive a whole fleet of them through this post. It was a long time ago and done by a completely different Widnes Club. Yes, it was a superb side, but it was also a team put together with money that Widnes didn't really have and ultimately resulted in their financial demise. It was also a very long time ago and has absolutely no relevence to the present
You also have the sheer stupidity to call us a second rate Club. Well, we actually have our own stadium, it wasn't sold to the council to help clear our debts, and we actually manage to make money from it from outside the game itself. If that's a second rate Club, then I'm quite pleased about it.
