Quote ="Enfield Exile"To themselves. After all, a lot of Widnes fans have claimed that teams have been parachuted into SL without justifying their promotion on the pitch.
What was the point of your post?'"
The point of the post was that the criteria for obtaining a place in Superleague currently do not necessarily include winning a championship and therefore such a feat would justify nothing. Having fulfilled the current on-field criteria (i.e. NRC cup win) the Widnes club appear to have chosen to attempt to fulfill the other current criteria for SL membership in order to "justify" their place should it be awarded.
Also I believe the majority of Widnes fans problem with the last decision was that they felt (rightly or wrongly) that their club better fulfilled the criteria put forward than the ones who were awarded a franchise and was nothing to do with whether they had succeeded on the pitch or not.
