With regard to money laudering or taking illegal substances before a contest ???

have to say that i'm looking forward to having widnes back. we have great rivalry with saints and wigan but our true derby is widnes and the
atmosphere in years gone by has been unbelievable.

if your on about my post i am joking on it as in brackets my other half is a widnes fan so i can banter and i have always said i wanted widnes back up but i do think you have to be prepared you aint gonna come up and be world beaters in the first season gonna take you a season maybe two to get used to the speed but once you settle down maybe get rid of betts i think youll be alright

I work in Widnes. And it does smell

I am looking forward to playing wires next year, and when you get to '70' points, watching the barmeh armeh doing the poznan

Shudder. About ten kids do it.

for the time being.

I am a Widnes fan and am wondering why a championship club is creating 5 or 6 pages of banter on the mighty wires website. Surely you must have something more exiting to talk about.
I might start one regarding that ground down the road that most of you have never frequented you know the one with all the grass growing in the stands.
I remember all this banter the last time we came up and we beat you four times that season. Only half of you will remember that, the other half didn’t appear till your first Wembley. Anyway enjoy your greatest era for 30 odd years it won’t last forever. And when it all goes tits up we will be there to remind you. all the best from your friendly neighbours’ and the most famous team in CHESHIRE .THE FAMOUS WIDNES VIKINGS

Steve, the money laundering comment probably wasn't too far from the truth a few years ago.

=#FF0000and you know that officially how?


=#0000FFLikewise we'll be here to officially wave you goodbye at the end of the next round of franchises, enjoy your 3 years, well, 2 and a bit years

Only half of you will remember that, the other half didn’t appear till your first Wembley.

Can we say that to you when another 3000 other Demics start watching your lot in SL.

Personally I think this thread has been quite amusing, no need to rise to the taunts and fishing from Wire fans - surely no Widnes fan expected the Wire fans to be full of praise did they?

On a serious note, the Wire fans are probably quite right not to be too worried about us at the minute - getting into SL was the fairly easy task for Widnes, competing and staying there is the hard task. Unless we get our recruitment spot on, we will be in for a beating by a few teams not just Warrington.

Yes this is quite amusing, see you next year for more banter and insults.


Night all.

i think i might have started something here (ho ho!)

Is this coming from the town that was in a recent government report the worst place to live in the whole country?

Crow away gentlemen. Just make sure my shoes are shined you bunch of tory voting, big pink eye worshipping, cousin fancying manchesterites.

And stop begging on the streets of widnes it's shameful.

something smells funny round here!

Round here being, around your computer in warrington? Because the internet doesn't smell.

In other words, slim, he who smelt it, dealt it.

ah but i'm in widnes! hence the post!

One of our finest tramps too. But there's a superdrug around the corner treat yourself to some anti persperant.

Remember slim, you slag us off but you're the one who chooses to live here of his own free will. In a ditch.

i don't live in widnes! just passing through, gas mask in situ. you seem to know a lot about tramps mr dalton! something of a passion maybe?

anyway are you gonna get another 3 years after this round of franchises?

If I was aWidnes fan i wouldn't give a because i'd know im in SL for the next 3 years





Plus our youths going to tear the league apart

ASBOs to the lot 'em, then.
I don't know, kids today, eh

My aspirations for next year, would be to stay off the bottom. Under the current coach, that would be an achievement. Much depends on recruitment.

Will we trouble the Dire? No.

I would hope for steady improvement and, by the end of the next licence period, a possible top 8 club. From then on, I’d expect us to be troubling the Dire.

I would also be hoping for an average attendance of 6,000 – 7,000 in our first season, with a steady increase. This would undoubtedly depend on team performance.

Yes, the Dire now have a very good team, but how long has it taken you to get where you are now?

After all these years in Super League, you haven’t even looked like reaching a Grand Final. Two Challenge cups, after all these years, hardly makes the Dire a shining example. You are not in the top four SL clubs, imo.

You may call Widnes fans for going on about the WCC but, despite all this time you have spent in SL, you have yet to even qualify to play in it. Until you have won a GF and a WCC, there is very little difference between us.

For anyone in doubt believe me when I say this, by this time next year you'll know who your real derby opponents are.
