They were supposedly miles better when we came into SL in 2002, but we still beat them 3 times that season.

Until Dire win the WCC...which ain't gonna happen, they'll be just like Manchester City, Always living in its neighbours shadows.

Is that the smog ?

the smog over warrington? because there is no heavy or chemical industry in widnes anymore. maybe its the clouds of soap and throat burning bleach vapour from that factory near Bank Quey train station?
the only time i ever have asthma issues these days is when im in the vicinity of that place

Yea! I think it's that Ginger kid we banned and went off to watch wire! FWIW I highly admire Saints & what Wigan did last year! Wire commercially are also brilliant but when they kept spending massive money on the likes of Hodgson & Monaghan knocking Riley back to reserves just for short term success and moan for cap increase I don't have much time for them!

I can't believe that some Widnes fans are still hanging on to something that happened 22 years ago. That sort of thinking is exactly whd Wirey you nearly went bust a couple of years ago. Fortunately your current owner does not live in the past and is looking to the future.
In answer to the original question, if Widnes do get back into SL, then it will have no effect on the followings of Saints and Wire, it may even have a positive effect as the visit of Widnes (probably instead of Wakefield) will just about generate full houses.

We have sponsors and a owner who can help our dreams.Chelsea are not bigger than Liverpool or Man Utd but a billionaire has bought them success.
