| Quote: faxtastic "and also i like Widnes as a club as well the fans there are fantastic.
they have turned up in force at the shay 4 times last season and i know that if they had to do the same again then they would do.
you sometimes find that successful clubs have fans who can be arrogent and think they are everything but your fans despite the rich success thst you have had still maintain a respect for the level you are playing at and the teams you are playing.
you have a lot of dignity and despite your success in the past your fans are extremmely down to earth there will always be some ideots at every club including fax but generally i find by sending a few messages on here that you guys know your rugby and you are a credit to your club most of you.
now i'm going to blow fax'es trumpet and say that our fans are similar as well most down to earth and not arrogent despite the success we have had in the past.
lets hope we both get in although i seriously doubt we will get in.'"
To be honest i have gone pass worrying now as super dooper illegal rugby will do whatever they want.I prefer teams to spend what they like and promotion and relegation every year.I like french,celtic,london out of it and bring heartlands back.I miss playing warrington and saints.But now i try enjoy derbies against leigh and fax.You seem down to earth and hope see you at stobarts next year.  |

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.”

Widnes v Halifax - Fri 31st July - Att: 4,039
Widnes v Leigh - Fri 10th April - Att: 4,354
There's two examples where we achieved over 4,000 without any free tickets. |

We bring more than both, and I don't see any other clubs getting attendances of 4,000. It still shows what you have written to be complete nonsense. we achieved attendances of over 4,000 without free tickets. |

Well if 200 is bringing a few then god help you.
It would be nice if you could return the 1,700+ we took to Fax for the northern rail semi. |

i dont know how this started. yes you have the biggest fan base in the league theres no doubting that.
unless you transfer your club to France or Cumbria i can see you being left out again. as will fax be.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Widnes must be in super league next time round. They are already ahead of a few super league clubs and would get much much higher attendances in super league.
Salford out Widnes in.

Thats the thing, if you were back in super league all of those would turn up plus quite a few more and then with 3,000 away support from Wire, Wigan and Saints the good support from quite a few other teams and then with some success you would have the same impact Hull KR have had.

I totally agree mate.Our attendances would double due to more away supporters and big derby games.I know be some superleague widnes fans coming out of the closet aswell.I here some people in widnes say we are crap because not in superleague. |
