20,000

I think they'll be great, got a world class youth system and I might have a cheeky few quid on Ste Pickersgill for MoS.

Is this thread the follow up to the Beyonce song If I was a Boy

If I was a Wid, even for just a day
I'd hang my head in embarrasment
I'd make sure my friends never found out
I'd need to ring the Samaritans

If I was a Wid, I'd emigrate to Devil's island
and hope no-one saw me
in my C+P replica jumper
with Ralph Linton on the back

If I were a Wid, I'd keep harping on
about a match 20 odd years ago
against a load of hungover jetlagged Aussies
at the end of the very tiring season

If I were a Wid, I'd be bitter about
not getting into Super League in '96
and blame it on Wire
but we all know big Millsy bottled it

If I was a widnes fan?

Hmm. I'd probably just jump off the Empire State building, do it with style, you know?

If I was a Widnes fan I'd be getting use to the idea of seeing Jon Clarke playing for my team next year.

incase you hadnt figured it was a tongue in cheek sarcastic comment as i mentioned my wife is a demic and i am already sick of her were the only team in superleague next season and i keep saying well if it stays that way you might finish top and thats still a big ask

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.
