How's about the thread on your own forum after this game when the attendance was announced.
No one was pretending on there that the figure reflected the actual number of people..
Every post ended with a

And the revelation that tickets had been handed out at a local county fair the day before and included in the attendance figure whether the recipient had attended the game or not.

A bit like a championship club having a £2m turnover, no-one believed it.

Steve O'Connor has a king size bed-spread made out of £50 notes. Changes his body position during the night and there's your £2m turnover

Thats a bleedin lot of £50's tbf

£2m worth, to be precise. forgot to add that it's related to the club accounts because his missus was wearing a Smogs nightie at the time.

Well not shocked how that turned out.
On the crowd thing, does anyone think its strange that there were RFL reps at that game yet nothing has come about the obviously inflated figure that was given out. I mean ive been going to games for nearly thirty years now and if there were more than 1800 at that game then im a liar. Like has been mentioned it would be a bit embarrassing for the RFL if only one team met the criteria wouldnt it? Also why are Barrow applying? Is this just a trial run? Why did Widnes feel the need to make sure they have figures that prove a 1million turn over? Did the RFL fear that any team they kick out would take action against them if they promote a team that didnt meet the criteria? Is there some hidden agenda that hasnt become clear yet? We know the RFL are corrupt and change the rules to suit but how bent are they? I guess we will soon find out.

Jamie Peacock pushing for a 10 team SL on the radio yesterday to spread the money out to fewer clubs and offset the threat of Union pinching our best players.Not like a SL player on a massive salary to think about increasing it more

To give the full story he did say junior players who struggle to get a decent wage due to the salary cap would also be able to get a living wage if the league was reduced to 10.

The current Grand Finalist winners not buying 3 more very expensive Aussies and getting rid of home spun talent might also be a good idea to offset the evil salary cap.

Really? Or is this a post where Widnes fans are supposed to take the bait?

Have you been many away matches yourself? London prehaps?

There was a good following from Widnes last week, probably outnumbered Skolars fans by 5-1.

Widnes can't even bring five hundred to Leigh, so five hundred to London? Its that three eye syndrome again

Be fair Derek they actually thought their team would win.

Last games have been on a Thursday, your crowds at our gaff have also been crap.

Shut up dereck you plum.

Whos brought more to your ground recently then ?

That's hardly much to shout about!

In fairness, I reckon Halifax and Fev are at least comparable to us in terms of away support these days. Suppose success is still a novelty for them.

too much bickering between fax and widnes fans on this thread, which is clutching at straws to say the least anyway
