Interesting... it seems that SRC is trying to whip up a bit of his anti-Widnes feeling on other boards but it looks for the major part as though it has failed. I'd say that quite a few more of the posts seem to 'support' what SOC is saying and recognise the strength of our bid for the next round.

Must be pretty galling for you that SRC??

Where exactly have I tried to whip up anti-Barrow feeling on another club's forum? Or are you simply publicizing where you keep your stash?

Maybe not you personally but some on here.

“However they have made clear their minimum criteria for entry and I’m comfortable that we we’ve met that to date."

I find this line interesting... does this simply refer to criteria of winning the NR cup and a GF appearance or something else?

John Wilkinson seemed to suggest some time ago that the RFL had spoken to them about improvements they NEEDED to make in order to apply next time around. Des Johnston was complaining some months ago that the RFL had spoken to him and informed him that their on field achievements would count for nothing unless they substantially improved Craven Park. We know about the letters sent to the 'infamous five' regarding the state of their ground development plans and the warning housed within them.

It increasingly looks likely that grounds will be one of the main focus points of the next round putting us front and centre for a franchise spot.

I pledge £10 to the Prescott fund (at it again) that Widness will report a loss for 2009/10 of > £200k.

If you disagree then match the pledge. oh and dont forget you made a loss more than your turnover last time AND 'investment' cost does NOT affect profit.

Who cares we get better attendances than fax.Better youth system,stadium.Bored of the repeats now.Sleep time.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
