The rumour about Stobarts, sponsoring SL in order to get Widnes a licence, emerged just before the decision on the last round of licences.
Engage are still sponsors of Super league.
Why would Asda be sponsoring the Vikings when SOC and Stobart actually have a close working relationship with Tesco in the town?
Tesco have moved into Stobarts 528,000 sq ft chilled distribution facility in Widnes, which is part of Stobart's Mersey Multimodal Gateway.
If SOC is going to work with a supermarket, it would be Tesco, and not Asda. Hey, I’d laugh my cock off if I thought this was true, but it’s just a poor bit of trolling; looking to smear the Widnes Vikings and our sponsors by insinuating some sort of corruption is required for the club to obtain a SL licence. The fact that Leigh are our strongest opposition from the heartlands shows that such a move isn’t required.
Nothing about the OP rings true. This says more about your fellow Leigh fans than it does about my club.
