| Just wondered how other Widnes fans feel about Widnes and the game in general.
After over 40 years of watching Widnes and RL I am slowly losing enthusiasm for Widnes and RL. I have not enjoyed going to the game for the last few seasons, but feel I have to go through loyalty.
However I feel SOC has made some massive mistakes, particularly in the choice of Betts and Cullen. We should have gone into SL with a coach with the correct experience and whom could attract the right players. As of now we have a coach whom is well out of his depth, together we a squad of very ordinary players, many who are injury prone.
How does the club seriously expect to attract new fans along with the current set up.
I cannot believe that people were taken in by the recent display against Leeds. Agreed it was full of enthusiasm, but very little skill. Our tries were not created by crafty half back play or dummy runners, pure luck with a bounce of the ball. Our tackling was again at times woeful, Leeds running through holes in our defensive line in exactly the same place numerous times. and this was a Leeds team who were just coasting through 80 minutes.
I know I am not alone in my feelings for the club as I have spoken to other Widnes supporters whom feel exactly the same way and are seriously considering why the continue to go to matches.
I know people will come on here and shoot me down ( not in the same manner as the terrible TIW forum ) but as I say these are the feelings of a number of supporters.

So what is your POV ?
Which was my point of the post, are the majority of people happy with the set up.
The club are in real danger of losing current fans never mind attracting new ones. We should all be concerned with that.
Unfortunately it seems if you post something which is against the club you get shot down by the same people.
And yes I have posted my views on TIW, unfortunately I like many others have given up with the TIW board.
To be honest I have always seen this forum as more open and fair than TIW.

Incorrect we do know.
We just don't need to be reminded EVERY DAY with the same posts. Especially days before a fresh game. By all means rant away post a bad performance buy people who bring it up time and time again just get tiresome.

The only things poor at the club at the moment is the first team results / performances. No-one has missed that nor said otherwise.
However trying to right off evey aspect of the club as some have done is beyond ludicrous. Fans of Widnes are never happy. Sometimes that's a positives however in times when the club needs support it's a major weakness.

Which was sort of the point of my replies.
Nothing against Lucifer but just fed up of reading and hearing the same old thing. Slagging off at the match or on here is exactly the same counterproductive rubbish that will drive fans away, the same as poor performances do.
It ain't gonna get better overnight and we ain't gonna win a Grand Final any time soon. It's a long haul but if Betts goes today, it won't make a lot of difference for months or even to next season unless we can recruit class acts now - guess what - we ain't gonna get any class acts any time soon!
