Well whinge to the people who make the bloody decisions then instead of ruining the Celtic board on here with your whining ways! You and those like you are soooo embarrassing.

This is a board owned by RLFans - not the celtic club. and I'll debate the points I have with anyone I like - I do not need your permission. I post within the rules. No-one makes you reply to anything I say.
If you find them irritating or SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO embarrassing (how american, how teenage like, but ne'er mind) - don't engage!!!! It's easy owd cock!

What utter tosh,so teams that have been in our sport for years can go to the wall the likes of doncaster,rochdale.Yeah our sport is really kicking on.

Idiot begone from this place and return to your village, we've had enough of your nonsense!

Im interested to know why when people go on about expansion that it is always the same suspects..... WIDNES. Why not Whitehaven or Sheffield? They have just as much a right to be up there in the decision making process.

Im all for respecting history and I know the club has achieved alot over its 100+ year history, but guess what we haven't done two badly for our 3 years so far either.

If the fans of Widnes really think at the current juncture they would be able to perform much better, in the last two seasons in Super League they only avoided finishing bottom by the skin of their teeth with a side arguably more talented then our own today.

Im sure if you started up a professional RL team in Liverpool or Lyme Regis they would have similar problems to us as well .It is far too early to write us off we are just finding our feet.

Also what makes you think that we could not match attendences of the Scarlets and the Ospreys? Both teams currently get VERY POOR attendences considering both have new stadiums and one is the self styled 'glamour boys' of Welsh rugby, neither average anywhere near 10,000 fans. We only get a few thousand less than what these long established sides get now ( established in terms of tradition , not the regions obviously , as they've only existed for 6 years.)

I agree it is poor that the likes of Doncaster and Rochdale are not getting the help they really need at the moment, they probably need more help than we do .I hope they get it.The head of our supporters club is a born and bred 'Donny boy and it was great to see them get promotion at the Grand Final last year.

I don't deny the RFL should be looking after the 'heartland' clubs just as much as the outposts like ourselves, a balance needs to be struck. I believe the game will only get stronger and make England and Wales as well as GB Lions at the international stage stronger.


The game is still seen to many as a 'northern' flatcapper type sport.
To me in the modern age that seems to be a certain shortsightedness that we are starting to break down here. There are many many kids taking the game on and below the first team squad our youth are top across the board , with many not actually playing RL before this season.

I look forward in a few years to watching a Wales RL side made up of local born and bred players ,preferably playing for us or other Super League sides trouncing England at a packed modern stadium either here ,Bridgend ,Swansea or whatever.

We might never be huge but tin comparison to to the local football sides of RU sides like Cardiff Blues or the Ospreys but I'm very confident we can hold our own.We just need to sort out a permanent base and start building up. It will come in time.

As for Widnes , they seem to have the complete package ,stadium,team,success,history,but we can't live in the past. Are you confident you could get crowds much largetr in super league than you already do ???

Best of Luck to you all anyway, the Championship is still a great competitve league to play in anyway.

Hey don't get all stressed because you know I'm right!

yawn. Do WUMS ever get bored of the sound of thier own voices?

You do know there was 1 comment by a Widnes fan on this thread yes? So why harp on about Widnes when it's a Fev and Cronulla fan making the noise?

Think since winning the NRC, Widnes are fairly happy to just keep monentum up! Yes they'll be the odd noise of resentment of course there will, but on the whole it's quitening down as we wait for our next chance!

i'm not gettings stressed and your not right. your a narrow minded fool, who has nothing better to do in their life then troll a forum. might i prescribe you get laid!

jannerboy, i realise this advice wasn't for me, but think twice about my blood pressure when making such prescriptions won't you. I'm not sure my ticker is up to such activity these days!
It's bad enough watchin fev!

Edited for accuracy

P.S. Lets have a little look at the Sharks history shall we?

42 years and never won the championship (in fact only 3 GF in 42 years) - hardly a successful team huh? - Sounds a bit like Celtic oh hang on though we've been around four years not 42

Bailed out in 1987 by the League - hmmmm now who does that remind you of?

Announced cash flow problems this year due to low attendances - hmmm now who does that remind you of?

Barry come of the closet mate, you spend so much time on this board and others talking about us you must be a Crusaders fan.

Is watching Fev better than sex?

I don't have to wear Versace aftershave or take the team out for a posh meal when I go to watch them!!!

They don't mind if I arrive early, drool at their performances or tell all my mates about them in the pub afterwards!!!!

So in many way - yes!!!!!

And I've been wi Fev 4 years longer than my wife:-

1st game 1973 aged 12.

Started going out wi Carol Nov 77' possibly the best year of my life.
Meet Carol - Fev win the Championship and are the best team in the land!!!
Why can't that be my groundhog day!!

I'm a good looking Aussie boy living in London in a sharehouse and I drink at the Walkie, the Reddie and the Church.

Trust me, getting laid is not a problem
