I read this some while ago, and I still cannot unsee it!
As for missing Widnes, I've done it many times on a regular basis by driving round it.

Yeah that's the one

No, that's Runcorn, Widnes is the cess pit at the end of the 2 bridges.

I miss Widnes games on Boxing day.

Don't really miss them, as there would be too many teams in the super league in the area. Having watched Wire over 60 years, never have considered Widnes as our main local rivals. View them similar to the way we view Salford.

Nicko vs Jim Mills and Sir Leslie battling with Kurt Sorenson holds fond memories for me. Other than that I don't think there's anything about Widnes that anyone could miss.
Regret to report though that I did work there for a couple of years until thankfully my employer took pity on me and transferred me to Trafford Park which was marginally better.

If only, I had to wear those Kay’s catalogue pants, brown nylon, that had no flies, elasticated, and sawn in seams and a cardigan.

batman needs the joker

That's about it.

I'm sure the club miss a bouncing west stand whenever Widnes came to visit.KERCHING !!

Widnes offer more than London Toulouse cats but so do Bradford..I'd have em back in a heartbeat...sadly it doesn't work that way

I remember the battles back to the train station lol.

With pretend fires in the stand to totally disrupt us leading to them going on to win from a losing position. That Widnes?

I hadn’t heard of Widnes till that CC final, Bevan’s early try had me purring in anticipation and then it was all down hill!

And the white distemper paint on the surrounding walls which ended up all over your clothes.
