Quote: Leaguefan "So why didn't Widnes fall on their swords and go away?
Or any other club for that matter?
At times the bigotry coming from "certain" Widnes fans make the RFU look like saints when they were giving RL a hard time.
Accept that things do wrong, as per your club, and over time things may change.
What I do know is that come SL application time, another championship club has better things going for it than Widnes and that is not to decry what Widnes are doing!'"
You of all people, as a cougar fan, should be able to understand the frustration felt by rugby league clubs when the RFL makes a decision that is not in the sports best interests and a clubs feel left out for the wrong reasons.
YOU should know this. So stop pretending like Widnes, Leigh, Halifax, Fev, Dewsbury, Hunslet, Keighley, etc should just take decisions like this on the chin without even a response.

You need to read Tony Collins "Rugby's Great Split" and "Rugby League in Twentieth Century Britain" before you start making comparions of
any RL club with the RFU and its actions over the last 114 years. Coming from a fellow RL fan, that is a disgrace to draw such a comparison. If you've read those books then you should know better. All that any of the Widnes fans on here are really saying is that the RFL is due some reproach for forcing a team like Celtic int the top flight before they were ready. I think you might find a lot of fans would agree, whichever team they support.
