Fans are grateful for what Ste O'Connor has done here but
I think the fear J20 is that it took Widnes a long time to make it to SL in 2001 and when finally there we ballsed it up and ended up in the lower leagues for another long spell.We don't want to end up back down here again in 2015 because if we do then as someone else said,next time will be permanent.Three years isn't all that long to make an impact and handing the coaching role to a novice is not a great start on the long road ahead.In my opinion of course.

I think what he is saying is that the only way the fans have of letting the board know that they are unhappy is by staying away and unfortunately this is does seem to be the case.
Ultimately it is what led to the club's decision to switch back to playing games on a Sunday afternoon when the Friday and Saturday night games were piloted.
I don't think he is advocating people avoiding going to the games just that this is going to be the likely result of us not performing well.

Hopefully Betts will take us on an unbeaten run now to the GF, build a squad exciting enough to drum up an extra 4,000 stronghold members and we finish in the play-off positions next year.

Well said vikingman.

I have joined the strong hold and will never close my account, as i love my club win or lose.I love to win like any other fan and i am sure Betts hates losing, so lets get behind him.If people decide not to sign all that means is less money for players, and that could mean the difference between coming 8th or 12th in the league.The attack is the 3rd best in the Championship and if can work on defence we will be fine.Nobody knows players attitudes at the club, and if you think about it he has a no nonsense approach and got rid of 4 players.

Dennis Betts is now a mothertrucking beast! and as our coach for the forseeable future, can now do no wrong, if anyone questions him henceforth they are commiting heresy and will be burned upon a pyre of warrington jerseys.
dare to dream.
that is all.

I dreamed a dream and 3 years went By,
We won nothing but a pucker pie,
We were there to support our Betts,
In hindsight we were stupid gets,
He stands pitch side looking all bemused,
Why O'conner ?. he could have refused,
How we ended up bottom of the league
Our players always look so fatigued.
We were outclassed and outcoached.
Noble or anderson we could have poached,
Instead us Vikings Maruaded on
Bottom of Super League singing this stupid song!!!



( just having a little fun before personal insults start coming, my teams fighting relegation so retaliation is inbound i am sure ).

If the club anounced the signing of an English based player now they would be in breach of the RFL rules and liable to be heavely fined.

The club however can anounce the signing of Australian and New Zealand based players as you can approach them earlier as they have a different date for when you can approach players.

And before anybody says anything about James Graham signing for the Aussies all he has done is signed a pre-contract deal and not signed an actual playing contract.
