| Quote: JINJER "Do you as fans think you're club deserved this accolade? Do you think this last season that you've made greater progress than Cas? And trust me as a Wakey fan that's hard to say!
Over the past couple of years, without a doubt yes! You've got to remember that just over 3 years ago we were a championsip club, to go from that to a club that was never out of the playoffs throughout the entire season is absolutely spectacular achievement. Not to mention the sustainability of the club, good finances and terrific voluntary and community support work. I thought Cas would have got it but we dont know how they criteria it and there are definitely alot of arguements that go in Widnes' favour that outweigh the one day of madness at LSV.

| Has anybody been identified and banned for the pitch invasion and smashing up the hoardings last August?.
Or are you just dragging your heels in the hope it all goes away?. Some posters on the walls at Warrington doesn't make up for the fact I (& others) couldn't celebrate our semi final win.

This is supposed to be club of this year - 2014, not looking at where Widnes was 3 years ago. If it was judged on this year, as it should have been, there was only one winner and that is the club that was named by all and sundry as relegation fodder, that has proved everyone wrong with limited resources and has not brought the good name of the game into question - and that club is Castleford Tigers....

I understand the positive steps Widnes have made in the last three years, and wasn't even alluding to the idiots at LSV.
The reason I thought Cas would win it by a country mile was the improvement over the playing year 2014, and that, after all is what the accolade is all about, the 2014 season alone.

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy

| Congratulations. A couple of my sons friends who live here in Billinge are involved at the club, and I'm delighted for them.

Maybe they just thought it would be a bit silly to hand over every single award to a club that finished 4th...

If it's deserved it shouldn't be a problem.

Mummy duck is now thoroughly depressed. SHE was the one that was famous for losing five in a row........until the 2011 GF!!!!!: |

| Must admit I thought Cas would have won it as their season has been unbelievable. Can recognise the steps which Widnes have taken over recent years though, and if this is acknowledgement to that fact, then fair enough.
As regards action over the pitch invasion, lets look at this logically. Widnes are working with the police on the matter. In relation to any "bans" which may be handed out, the new season doesnt start until the end of January 2015. Why rush things and get it wrong? A court ban due to action taken by the police is far more powerful than a club imposed ban supported by the police.

| Tbh I think Cas probably should have won the award, but the fall out from their fans (and many others) over the past 15-16 hours has made me very glad they didn't. Ha Ha Superb. Fact remains, Cas like Widnes, got in the top 8, and didn't win anything! Both had very good seasons

| Widnes attendances have taken a drop this year - 5,635 from 6,015 last year.
Tigers, Hull KR and Saints have all increased.
Hardly the making of a progressive club. I'm very surprised you got club of the year.

It will go down even more next season

The reaction from Cas fans has been more angry because the 'fans' of the Widnes club ruined the after-match celebrations at LSV. I'm sure that fans of other clubs that had not been a semi final winner for such a long time would feel the same.
