Congratulations, Chris. I reckon you’ll do a great job.


[size=50It doesn’t do any harm to suck up to a new mod.[/size

However, starbug and littlerich are the worst offenders. BAN ‘EM!!!!








Only joking

Hub caps?



Its wheel trims and Alloys we’re after now.

You need to update those old jokes, Grandad!



Unless, of course, they still drive cars with ‘hub caps’ in Leigh?

Chris you know it makes sense having starbug and littlerich here.Their second team is widnes.

Calling it a second team is a farce. At first it was a joke but now they can't be anything but true fans of the Mighty Widnes Vikings.

I think this is also an opportunity to plug the new(ish) report button, the red exclamation mark button at the bottom of every post.

Well done dalto, we need to keep littlerich and starbug as they represent the smaller clubs in the division.

Cheers man. Your time will come I am sure.

Im not that fussed mate, we have a good one in yourself now and thats what counts. We needed more of a prescense and we have got it. Dish the whoopass mate.

My granny used to say - "the best things come in small packages". I think she was just humouring me though on account of my wee stature.

With permission i shall continue to contribute on here - it's a lovely site full of lovely people who say lovely things. There's loads of respect for pensioners too - and there'll be plenty of that needed on here when the Fax storm the comp this year. Up the Dad's Army !!

Thank god for that.

I notice you dont deny it ?



We did have , until you lot visited

Putting an empty meat pie tin over the wheels of your horse and cart does not constitute having a hubcap.

You still nicked um though

Libel. You live in a borough of wigan and you are accusing us of nicking your pie tins?

Well done Chris... I'm sure you'll be superb and only add to the great job that Alex and Asterix already do. As I said earlier on I think it was necessary to beef up the mod team on this board for the upcoming months. I'm expecting some love but a lot more pain from rival fans.
I also think that this board has improved considerably in the last couple of years. I think I've been coming on here for nearly as long as you Chris but I've had a couple of lengthy spells away due to state of these boards some years ago. Glad to say that the only thing that keeps me away these days is a feeling of slightly more commitment to my work and the incessant tiredness that comes from fathering my new born son.
VM'll get the next spot I'm sure once the Mod Franchise applications are submitted for the 2013 season.

dot let it go to your head, When we stuff you all over dont let emotions takeover

Don't worry about me mate, I'll be fine. Just so you and the rest of the board knows, if there's ever any trouble I'll only be a country mile away, which is, what? Half a millimetre?

Cheers IET. I can see a lot of scrutiny coming our way in the near future, people under threat will see us as the devil, and I can't say I blame them for reacting negatively but we're not the enemy. Got to say I goddamn love this club, always have, always will. I want to see us competing at the top division again, I took it for granted when I was younger and we squandered it all last time too early, we're in the best position now to take it on and more than anything our club deserves it.

It will be an interesting season for whomever is told they are going up though, the season they know they are a shoe in will be so full of promise for a long while and I really hope it is us.

Congratulations mate!

You should be alright the next time we go to the LSV then, as there’s nowt else left that’s worth nicking in Leigh. We’ve no use for pegs and lucky heather here in God’s little green acre.

surely oxygen is in short supply in Widnes ?

No shortage of hot air in warrington though.

i blame global warming

They're known more for scabbing during strikes in Wigan and Leigh.

So you should! After all, your grandparents who went back to America after the war are the worst offenders of that!
