It was quite funny for a few years seeing them languishing in the Championship, but I must admit to missing our proper derby. All the Smellies in the west stand doing their "twist and shout", and the away games used to be good with Wire filling a stand "and some".
Come on smellies, get your act together, get promoted, Dudson could help you.

I'd have them back in a heartbeat but they'd have to promise to be the struggling version not the unbearable variety that nearly ruined my formative years the Challenge Cup winning team that attracted the hoardes of peroxide blonde Diana Dors type harridans dressed in monochrome crympalene trousers suits

Sup did they clash with your corduroy trousers and tank tops.

They seem to be offloading more players than Salford at the moment! Not sure what their financial state currently is, but it doesn't look good from outside.

Wonder if 4 of ours are still going on loan to them.

Never heard of them. Is that the place with the two overpriced bridges?

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.
