| Quote just_browny="just_browny"I did say they were a bit touchy.
You can cite cups won in the 1970s and 1980s with gay abandon, and there's no doubt that Widnes had a number of great sides in those eras.
But, unlike in 2001, you're unlucky to score much of a hit by trolling Wire fans when we all remember doing a jig in the sun at Wembley while the hardcore Widnes fans were struggling to raise a Fandango at Featherstone.
I also think people who are new to this derby will be a bit surprised by the crowds, however, and that is obvious in this thread. In a reduced-capacity Wilderspool there was always a tense atmosphere, but realistically Widnes didn't bring a great number of fans over - not more than Leeds or even Hull.'"

I cannot see that Super League benefits by including a team from what is to all effects a village between Warrington and St Helens.'"
I prefer 'between Halewood and Murdishaw' personally |

Widnes fans are similar to Wigan fans in the way they go on about past glories. This Widnes side has no history, they have only been around for 3 years after the other team went bust.

Looking back at the derby gates last time around, they attracted big crowds in Widnes first year back (2002) and our first year at the HJ (2004) - both games they won - but the other three derbies played at Warrington were nothing unusual compared to our average gates at the time in fact two of those three were lower gates than our average for the season.
In 2002 we had an average gate of 6189 and the gate for the Widnes game was 9105. Widnes had a higher average gate than us that season (6510)
In 2003 we had an average gate of 6978 and the gates for Widnes games were 7264 and 6902. That season the game at Widnes had a higher gate than the two at Warrington - 8537
At that time (pre HJ), the two clubs were probably about equal in size with roughly equal gates.
In 2004 we moved to the HJ and had an average gate of 9880, with a gate for the Widnes game of 11413.
In 2005 we had an average gate of 11078 and the gate for the Widnes game was 10061.
Widnes average gates stayed at around 6500 for their four seasons in SL.

He is talking crap - you were doing the waltz in Whitehaven when we were bringing the Challenge Cup home, not the Fandango in Featherstone. |

For the record I think we took 4000 to Wilderspool in 2002! Looked like a good turnout yesterday from the Vikings from what I could make out on the video.

Crowd was about 9,000 that day. You would have to have filled the entire Railway End, Pondlife Corner and have of the Bevan Stand to get up to 4k. In summary, you didn't bring 4k. |

Apart from the last 3 years 75% of Wire fans have not seen you win anything.
Around 75% of current Widnes fans have seen us when we were labeled as The Cup Kings.
Enjoy your sucess while it lasts............
