[quote="eurob0y replying to Chris Dalton":11m80glq] Well ok, so if we apply your logic, this means that you can never ever give your opinion of who you think is a good rugby league player, because you support widnes and therefore wouldnt know a good rugby league player if he smacked you in the face with a 3 eyed fish[/quote:11m80glq]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_33363.jpg |

The other way of looking at is that he's got a team made up of players with something to prove. |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Poor prep, inadequate familiarisation, an 'ordinary' looking squad - if the expected tonkings happen early on, the crowds will hardly flock to support the cause. The away fans will drop the fixture as NOT being one of their priorities! e.g. some Wakey fans on a restricted budget (I know loads!!) may have to pick and choose which away games they go to. With the crusaders perhaps being looked upon as a foregone conclusion (again, it is by many I know, not all - but by most), then they may prioritize a trip to Leeds, Cas, Northern, Wigan etc than the expense of a journey to Wrexham to see a nowt game!!!! - and believe me, that's how some of the people I know who watch SL are now regarding the crusaders fixture!!
As I said, that's "IF" the expected happens!'"
 A Fev fan from Rotherham  What a post |

I totally agree with this post.I would not travel to see a boring one sided game.They will come bottom of the league, and to be honest i do not agree with celtic getting a franchise place. |

However more away fans are likely to travel expecting their team to get two points and maybe give the other team a tonking  |

I would love to take you seriously, no honestly I would you forgot to mention that we owe money to the IR our dwindling support, no chance of a franchise for 2012 and that we need to play a friendly against you after the start of the season to help pay our bills, I've just about covered most things but feel free if you remember anything else. |

Well i do not go and travel to many away games to be honest.Only big or close games.This year i may go fax and leigh.Close games for my team.I feel this franchise mullarkey is a joke, and should always be promotion and relegation.Celtic came bottom of the league so should be in the championship.Barrow now should be in superleague.

I for one am making the trip to Wrexham for the Rhinos game in less than 2 weeks time, I am looking forward to it. I feel that the Crusaders have signed some good talent and will be alot better then they were last year, I look forward to see their new team and new season and how it goes for them.

people are coming from different places to watch the game. i live in warrington and i am maing my way to north wales to watch the first game and there is an expected 5000-8000 people! and if they can create even a small fanbase of say 3500 home fans a week thats more than what salford or harlequins really have so they should do ok. celtic have a good stadium now and as long as they can get a competitive side the next sl license should be in the bag.
