| Yes, the Dire now have a very good team, but how long has it taken you to get where you are now?
About 15 years I think, since we were top of the top flight. How long has it taken YOU to get where you are now. Also the WCC team no longer exists, it went bust, you have a history of two and a half years.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

As long as you, but in much more trying circumstances. The point being, despite your permanent tenure in Super League, you have little more to show for it. We don’t have to win the WCC again though you see, we’ve already done it. Your club has failed, miserably, and has under achieved throughout the SL era.

It doesn’t work like that, Chief. It is the same club, in the same stadium, with the same fans and with the same history. We just have different owners and a different trading name. There’d be several current SL clubs who’d have to discount their whole history, if that were the case. Have they? The answer is no.

On the field yes, but over all as a club - NO
Wigan, Leeds, Saints and Bradford are all far more accomplished clubs in the SL era than the Dire. I would put you on a level with Hull FC, dangling around the 5th and 6th mark. Perhaps the Dire will change that this season.
We'll see.

anyway, i could get into C*ck measuring contest, but there really is a whole universe of much better things to do.

Good for Worriers, Leeds, Stains and Bradford
All I'm interested in is this season
We are an A graded club off the field
We are (as I type) top of the league.
We currently have a trophy in our cabinet.
Do us all a favour, and concentrate on your own shortcomings, where your currently 5 points behind your league leaders, having played a game more.

50086_1357229109.jpg [b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag.
[b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg |

Sweet isn't it. Getting accused of illusions of grandeur when Warrington have won 2 major trophies in the last two years and widnes have not won anything this century. Comical.
Regardless of how cringeworthy a few of them are (and it is a few, not all) it will be great to have them back and although some are touchy about the banter, that will be fun when the derby arrives.

| It will be good next year with them back in SL. With Warrington and Wigan in good health, Widnes back again, and Saints in their new ground, there should be some good gates.

| Quote: widnesvikings "I am a Widnes fan and am wondering why a championship club is creating 5 or 6 pages of banter on the mighty wires website. Surely you must have something more exiting to talk about.
I might start one regarding that ground down the road that most of you have never frequented you know the one with all the grass growing in the stands.
I remember all this banter the last time we came up and we beat you four times that season. Only half of you will remember that, the other half didn’t appear till your first Wembley. Anyway enjoy your greatest era for 30 odd years it won’t last forever. And when it all goes tits up we will be there to remind you. all the best from your friendly neighbours’ and the most famous team in CHESHIRE .THE FAMOUS WIDNES VIKINGS'"
There were quite a few people at the 16-62 game. You may recall that.

| To start a thread if i was a widnes fan is a stupid topic. Who cares who you support as it is just a game.This is just a pop at Widnes, because wire hate the Widdong.I am been realistic and anything above the bottom 2 would be good, as seems we are struggling to sign players at the moment.Until the squad is put together, it is difficult to make a judgement. I am just happy to be out of the Championship.

to start the thread or comment on it? who's the most stupid?
all that on one side it was a genuine hypothetical question on what a widnes fans expectation of the first season back in top flight rugby would be! nothing else..... so jog on smelly!

| Gonna be a very difficult first season for us. If we can produce a few surprise victories while we give our youth an opportunity to shine, I would be happy with that. with regard to the wire bashing, your club has clearly made massive strides in recent season(as has mine off the field) and a super league title is surely only a matter of time. good luck for the rest of the season.

| that jack owens is a real prospect reckon Hodgsons replacement
my mrs is a widnesian for her sins so i see them a fair bit and with the proper coaching Jack can turn into a great fullback and hes only 17 at the mo i think but the other youth that is there are all dual reg but in my opinion the should look to keep logan tomkins looks a good nimble player working the hooker role but dont think wigan would let him go they like the tomkin franchise
