I think they will recruit quite well. "Come join our growing club, we're Widnes - World club challenge winners in 1989 and 3 time winners or the charity shield"

Seriously I think they will do okay, after the big two (us and Wigan) their isn't much between the rest of the SL clubs.


Anybody think we'll score more than the 60 we put on them when we sent them down?

If i was a Wid

I'd be vitamin deficient due to a lack of sun and a diet of Wot sits looking in to the Mersey and contemplating the chances of being revived.

Let's see how long we can keep this going.

If I was a widnes fan...

...I wouldn't dress very well or be able to talk to girls.

If I was a Widnes fan...

I'd buy a delorian to take me back to 1989....when we were the bestest team in the world

I used to work with a Wid, and every rugby conversation we'd have, would end up with

"we beat Canberra
30,000 of us were there
grown men....cryin"

yeah, they were cryin' the week later, too

I'd tell everyone how successful we used to be

Jealousy steaming off this board this afternoon... And not towards Wigan / Saints got a change

If i were a Widnes fan...

I'd come on this board with massive delusions of grandeur, and fail to realise that we play in a council house and have spent the best part of the last 15 years in the lower leagues.

If i was a Widnes fan i'd play the cocky arrogant Wire fan card(also see frequenting Saints fan in Warrington) even though people ridicule them and hate them so it's no wonder they blow smoke up their own backside

well, i think they'll average crowds about the 4,000 mark for most games apart from wire saints and wigan. win 2 games all season and leave nothing but a bad smell at the end of the season!

I'd try to pass off Fiddlers Ferry as a real ferry

Isn't that in Warrington now

Yes because you own the HJ?

I'd be more embarrassed that you've been in SL since day one yet still failed to mount a serious title challenge come the end of the season.

None. The place hums.
