Not much sentiment anywhere was there.

On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. 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]

Nothing to do with sentiment. It would be good for the game as a whole if CC were to succeed. My opinion of CC as a club, is actually very poor. I would feel for their fans, but the responsibility for any problems they may have is the fault of their club and the RFL for rushing them into SL with undue haste.
If it benefited Widnes then great, but it really isn't a good way to achieve anything.
To be honest, I reckon Widnes fans should stop getting all excited by this and stop constantly posting on threads on this subject on other boards. It's not doing us any favours, it really isn't. I don't actually think CC are about to go pop just yet and a lot will now depend on how things go in Newport next season. I wouldn't make plans for going up to SL for the next couple of years at least.

Its a bird, its a plane (No its not superman).
Its the RFL to the rescue!!!!

Saying Celtic couldn't have anticipated the financial difficulties that where to face them. Neither could any other club that was suffering.
No matter what happens, deep down i have the feeling the RFL are going to bend over backwards to keep them in a stable financial condition.
I know its all old news but it just goes to show that CC where not ready for SL and moving 30 miles down the road next year wont help the situation with their fan base.
I wouldn't wish it upon any club for them to go bust as we have been there before, just looks like how we predicted in the first place, a very optimistic experiment.

Of course you're not but the likes of crucrucrusaders have done nothing to endear us to your club. Nobody wants to see any rugby league club finding themselves in a difficult situation and if the does hit the fan in South Wales, only Dick Lewis and his cohorts can be to blame.

That is utter bullshit. The worldwide "“When their Super League licence was first approved the world was a very different place to what it is now and no-one at Celtic Crusaders could have anticipated many of the difficulties they have faced."'"
That is utter bull. The worldwide "credit crunch" began in late 2007, by mid July we were well on our way to a recession.
What a way with words the RFLiars have. I wonder if clubs like Doncaster are also benefiting from the same level of 'expertise' which is being provided... Fuck off Lewis you cock end.

Took the words out of my mouth, i wonder if we will still get called bitter and sad Widnes fans if we say they were put in too early.

See my post above, we don't even have to say a word to be looked upon as sad, bitter moaners!

I disagree. I saw 1,000 Widnes fans two week ago on our terraces. Singing and dancing and cheering. It was sickening. 50 fans would have been more palatable.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |
