It's my job to freeze you!:38605.jpg



When is the rest of the RL fraternity going to realise that winning the league and been consistently No.1 is not the criteria for a franchise?

If this had been the case, our chairman would have spent up to the cap assembling a first team capable of delivering the league.However, this IS NOT the criteria, we have spent money on the youth set up and getting the club viable again.

If it was a simple as winning the league, a whole host of clubs would have gone bust as reckless and over ambitious chairman would have spent a fortune on players in order to win the league.

This is why there is a salary cap - not just to create an even playing field, but to save the clubs from themselves, as has been proven in the past, they can be thir own worst enemy.

IMO, it is more difficult doing it the way we have done things than simply spending wads of cash on a first team and having a " or bust" mentality.

It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99] 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.” [i:24qn1m99]There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back![/i:24qn1m99] [b:24qn1m99]Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY![/b:24qn1m99]:24307.jpg

Batley is actually one of the best away days in RL!

It’s far better than the Willows, which is probably one of the worst.

Provided it's not on a wet and windy Friday night in February or March...
Even then it's better than the Willers!!
I wouldn't be surprised if Batley topped most fans favourite away day considering how they go about things. Smashing match day experience.

Quote: vikingsmurf "i know this is a public forum, but there are rules and conventions. can several of you please just grow the love up and stop kicking off (and i mean widnes fans too) our lovely widnes board is fast becoming like a school playground. i shall set this straight once and for all, nobody here at widnes gives a flying love what anyone else thinks, if its just poorly researched bile. and in point of fact, 99% of the poop fans of other teams spout on here IS poorly researched bile. we are happy to sit and wait to see what happens come franchise time. if anyone is ting there pants, go and rant to their own fans. and please nobody bother replying with anything like 'why did you post this? we dont give a poop what you think' because i dont give a poop that you dont give a poop. go and send abusive e mails to the RFL, its more constructive than talking poop on here.'"


Hell of a lot of poop there in that post.
