Couldn't agree more, was disgusted at the walk out. As you say the Barrow players deserved better.

Congratulations on your win - thoroughly deserved.

The ones leaving were a pack of glory supporting s in my eyes, they should have stayed and clapped the players off the pitch like a lot did. Well done Widnes, best team on the day won, simple as that, see you at Craven Park in August!

A few left early, the vast majority stayed untill the end. If roles were reversed the same would have happened with our supporters.

Thats how supporters are, its no big deal.

True Supporters?

Sometimes you can be disappointed and not want to watch as the opposition lift the trophy, sometimes you just dont want to watch the opposition fans celebrating at the final hooter.

I follow Widnes to most games when finances allow and very rarely leave early, For instance our shocking loss at home to Barrow where they pretty much destroyed us. I stayed till the end and clapped the team off, But in our grand final defeat to Castleford i left with 5 minutes to go as i just didnt want to Witness the Cas fans celebrating. I was too disappointed. But when we lost to HKR again i stayed till the end and watched the lifting of the trophy.

Every fan at that match was a supporter who paid their money and did their part in what was a great day, all this junk about true supporters is just a way for some to stroke their own Egos and have a cheap dig.

the talk on here though was that some barrow fans were leaving before the hooter yes by all means leave when you have applauded your team off but not beforer the hooter has even gone.

Barrow for Super League 2015:



All clubs have fans who walk. I know a couple of Wigan season ticket holders (who live in Barrow and are Barrovians icon_evil.gif ) and they always leave the JJB with 2-3 minutes to go, no matter what the score, to beat the traffic. They even left with 2 mins to go at the weekend when Wigan were only 2 points ahead v Catalans !

It would have been no different if Barrow had won - there would have been plenty of Widnes fans heading for the car park.

It's a real shame that Barrow get very little credit for how we've performed this season. OK, money has been spent, but we had 10 locals on the pitch in the Final. They are the real backbone of the team and long may it continue.

In 2005 we were promoted to NL1. We won 1 game all season and averaged crowds of 800-odd. We only had 7 players on the books just weeks before the 2006 NL2 season.

This season we have got within 10mins of knocking Wigan out of the Challenge Cup (played in front of a full house), are currently 2nd in the Championship (on merit), have reached our first final in 26 years and ourleague average is 2,200.

If you'd have told me this at the start of 2006 I'd have sent the men in straight jackets round !

Well said Col, 160 mile round trip to not show support for your team when it matters

an atmosphere that isn't created by people in matching shirts clapping along to a drum or novelty PA music might be nice!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40764.jpg



Spoke to a fair few Barra marra's, and they were mostly sound, with the exception of a few tools who mouthed off, but liek I say mostly good rl people who know their stuff and are very easy to get along with. Although please refrain from spilling your cans of 'skol' all over my brand new pair of Gazelles, although looking back that was quite amusing on platform at Preston stn icon_lol.gif icon_wink.gif

Made 'some' noise throughout the game and before hand in the pubs and bars, but they did only appear to have one song, which is a shame. icon_confused.gif

I'd say a good three thousand though. good bunch and I wish them well, but they deffo need to sort their taste in lager out though icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

What's worse is that my brother-in-laws girlfriend is from Barrow and she is a Widnes fan and she even had a t-shirt made in Barrow which simply read Widnes Vikings on it especially for the final and she sat with the Widnes fans and was chanting shouting for Widnes.
