If I was a Widnes fan I'd be getting use to the idea of seeing Jon Clarke playing for my team next year.

incase you hadnt figured it was a tongue in cheek sarcastic comment as i mentioned my wife is a demic and i am already sick of her were the only team in superleague next season and i keep saying well if it stays that way you might finish top and thats still a big ask

I think they will recruit quite well. "Come join our growing club, we're Widnes - World club challenge winners in 1989 and 3 time winners or the charity shield"

Seriously I think they will do okay, after the big two (us and Wigan) their isn't much between the rest of the SL clubs.


Anybody think we'll score more than the 60 we put on them when we sent them down?

If i was a Wid

I'd be vitamin deficient due to a lack of sun and a diet of Wot sits looking in to the Mersey and contemplating the chances of being revived.

Let's see how long we can keep this going.

If I was a widnes fan...

...I wouldn't dress very well or be able to talk to girls.

If I was a Widnes fan...

I'd buy a delorian to take me back to 1989....when we were the bestest team in the world

I used to work with a Wid, and every rugby conversation we'd have, would end up with

"we beat Canberra
30,000 of us were there
grown men....cryin"

yeah, they were cryin' the week later, too

I'd tell everyone how successful we used to be

Jealousy steaming off this board this afternoon... And not towards Wigan / Saints got a change

If i were a Widnes fan...

I'd come on this board with massive delusions of grandeur, and fail to realise that we play in a council house and have spent the best part of the last 15 years in the lower leagues.

If i was a Widnes fan i'd play the cocky arrogant Wire fan card(also see frequenting Saints fan in Warrington) even though people ridicule them and hate them so it's no wonder they blow smoke up their own backside

The only thing that's "steaming" when Widnes is mentioned is a tu....well, I'll let you work out that one!

well, i think they'll average crowds about the 4,000 mark for most games apart from wire saints and wigan. win 2 games all season and leave nothing but a bad smell at the end of the season!

I'd try to pass off Fiddlers Ferry as a real ferry

Isn't that in Warrington now

Yes because you own the HJ?



I'd be more embarrassed that you've been in SL since day one yet still failed to mount a serious title challenge come the end of the season.

None. The place hums.

Yes, we do own the stadium.
Yes, we're mounting a serious title challenge this season.

What's your point?

Ermm more than you bring as it's right next to Warrington.

Is anybody really d who owns our stadium?? we will average over 6000 and im not to concerned were we finish next season aslong as we improve the season after!

Think about 5 or 6 thousand attendance, and as others have said, predicting the goals/likely position is pretty pointless until the team begins to take shape.

But I think keeping Betts in charge is a mistake and he'll be a big hinderance to Widnes next year.

If I was a Widnes fan... I'd wear a tinfoil hat to shield my thoughts from the RFL and their dastardly attempts to read their thoughts and screw the Vikings.

You should be. If you own the stadium then you have more access to different income streams.

True but why are Warrington fans concerned about this?

We're not concerned, we're belly laughing about how good it is to be rolling in the money.

On topic - realistically if they string some decent performances together and don't slip up in the cup to one of the sides currently handing them their on a plate then it's a success. Still we can still hark back to long lost days of jumpers for goal posts and such other bollox.

Widnes are3 currently the only team to have a SL license for 2012. However in about 4 weeks the RFL will announce which 13/14 teams will finish above them.

Why the people think we're jealous of spending the thick end of the SL era on the outside, looking through the cat flat at the proper teams is laughable.
