To think that this time last year we were being called all sorts for stating that CC need more time in NL1 to develop and that it was too soon for them.

We know mate. Obviously Celtic not the most favourite club around here but being from the north west we've all been to wales more times than we can count.

Some very nice parts of it too, like Angelsey and IIRC Mold.

Me neither Pepe, but if it so does happen and it turns out to be beneficial for the Vikings, who cares? There's no room for sentiment it seems these days and there was certainly no sentiment down in South Wales when we missed out.

Not much sentiment anywhere was there.

Nothing to do with sentiment. It would be good for the game as a whole if CC were to succeed. My opinion of CC as a club, is actually very poor. I would feel for their fans, but the responsibility for any problems they may have is the fault of their club and the RFL for rushing them into SL with undue haste.

If it benefited Widnes then great, but it really isn't a good way to achieve anything.

To be honest, I reckon Widnes fans should stop getting all excited by this and stop constantly posting on threads on this subject on other boards. It's not doing us any favours, it really isn't. I don't actually think CC are about to go pop just yet and a lot will now depend on how things go in Newport next season. I wouldn't make plans for going up to SL for the next couple of years at least.

Its a bird, its a plane (No its not superman). Its the RFL to the rescue!!!! www.totalrl.com/features/content ... tcat_id=49 Saying Celtic couldn't have anticipated the financial difficulties that where to face them. Neither could any other club that was suffering. No matter what happens, deep down i have the feeling the RFL are going to bend over backwards to keep them in a stable financial condition. I know its all old news but it just goes to show that CC where not ready for SL and moving 30 miles down the road next year wont help the situation with their fan base. I wouldn't wish it upon any club for them to go bust as we have been there before, just looks like how we predicted in the first place, a very optimistic experiment.

Of course you're not but the likes of crucrucrusaders have done nothing to endear us to your club. Nobody wants to see any rugby league club finding themselves in a difficult situation and if the does hit the fan in South Wales, only Dick Lewis and his cohorts can be to blame.

That is utter bull. The worldwide "credit crunch" began in late 2007, by mid July we were well on our way to a recession.

What a way with words the RFLiars have. I wonder if clubs like Doncaster are also benefiting from the same level of 'expertise' which is being provided... Fuck off Lewis you cock end.

www.totalrl.com/index.php?showtopic=183655 Read the utter bollox from Exiled Wiganer. I really don't get this seriously, I'm at a complete loss as to why we are continually looked up on as sad, moaning and bitter when 99% of all threads about CC and this whole franchise bull is started by NON WIDNES FANS. For 's sake, it's really starting to make me really angry now. If Exiled Wiganer reads this, come down to the Stobart and come and have a go at us, I'm sure there's a few thousand proud Widnes fans that'll put you straight you moronic tw@t.

Took the words out of my mouth, i wonder if we will still get called bitter and sad Widnes fans if we say they were put in too early.

See my post above, we don't even have to say a word to be looked upon as sad, bitter moaners!

Who gives a fook about Super League were going Blackpool

Someone buy this man a pint

I'm sure Jiffy will oblige, wherever he is.

1000 widnes fans every time, and anyone who says different is lying or stupid

I disagree. I saw 1,000 Widnes fans two week ago on our terraces. Singing and dancing and cheering. It was sickening. 50 fans would have been more palatable.

lol

but i bet your club would rather have had 1000 paying widnes fans than 50!

You sad bitter moaner , Celtic got in , get over it

You're such an "anti-Celtic" poster too. Why don't you get your hose out and flood out Brewery Field? Bloody flatcapper.

Never mind that , you need to control those fans of yours , good job I was there to ' protect ' them

The thing that hacks me off about these s is that they have all lived a life of privilege when it comes to Rugby League..

The expansionist supporters are typically people that follow clubs that have zero chance of being plucked out of the top flight and dunked in with us..

They go on about how we whinge and moan and yet you should see their comments or hear them on the phone-ins should a referee make a bad call against their team or if they feel hard done-to by the officials!!!!!

Lets see how they would react if they were promised a spot in the super dooper leagues, only to have it whisked away again minutes later or denied a place again for a team that had been dreamt up ten minutes before.

They'd be in that much mental trauma that the Samaritans best advice would be for them to put themselves out of their misery..


yep... I suppose due to all the we've had to put up with it's our lot in life to continually get shafted and just carry on getting on with things..

You can't knock these people from their ivory towers.



In all seriousness though, would we* give a crap if we were flying high in SL? Would we care what goes on dowstairs? I remember snooting my nose at Leigh fans complaining when we raided their young stars all those years ago. I felt superior. I am now ashamed. I am sorry Leigh.



[size=75* When i say "we" i mean Widnes and Halifax. Sit back down VM & Pepe.[/size

We* all know what you meant when you said we.

[size=75* And by we, I mean fellow Widnes fans.[/size

I will call him thrush from now on. The irritating !
