It doesn't matter send your e mail of complaint to Red Hall
If you drop out , tough , send your e mail of complaint to Red Hall
If you do come down and win the next 3 championship titles but don't get your ground built and don't go back up , send your e mail of complaint to Red Hall

You will without a doubt be in SL in 2013 but not through "on field merit". The general overwhelming consensus is that getting into SL through riding the ar*e off Dickie and his cronies in Huddersfield makes our beloved sport a laughing stock.
Barrow Raiders should THROUGH MERIT be in SL this season and Featherstone Rovers THROUGH MERIT going up next season. Widnes should be wallowing in The Championship until iyour Chairman puts his money into a decent WINNING squad. Bleat on about Des Johnston as much as you like but he hasn't had the luxury of a Council built, RENTED stadium to ease the burden and help finance a Youth setup. What he has done is give the rugby loving people of Barrow a team worth watching. I'd be embarrased to be accepted into SL after having won what is basically a tin cup that only offers a route to SL in order to keep the sponsors happy and add a bit of meaning to it !
You lot on here moan and bitch about player purchases that TOC & Paul Cullen have made but in the next breath are saying that the very same person(s) will buy you a top squad full of Aussies when you get to SL ! Make your minds up FFS.'"
Where have we said this? we have said rumours are going around that we will sign 3 or 4 but isn't that expected? When the quota in this league is only 1? obviously the amount of australians will increase when we go to SL.

Maybe it is , just as the fact that Widnes don't need to win the Championship GF to go up to SL
Ring the RFL and complain

Yeah he will buy Aussies and if he does, probably good ones. No where in that quote did the Widnes fan suggest we would have a team full of them?

If you do/did why should it matter , several clubs including Bradford have had a majority of foreign players in their teams in SL , if that is what it takes and is within the rules you are set , then you will do it
Any complaints should be sent to Red Hall , Leeds

I know but this idiot is under the impression we think our whole team will be made up of Aussies.
Like you said, he should send his complaints to Red Hall or go to the VT.

| I'm not bigging up Barrow or slagging off the franchise system, however where are you going to find the additional £1,200,000.00 to pay for your new team when you are calling for fans to pay for one of your top players wages for next season to keep him?
Just a simple question......

and how many times does it have to be said.. Its not that we can't afford to keep him.. its the salary cap.. At the end of the day, Us fans don't have to contribute.. We WANT to contribute..
Also, any additional money could easily come from sky, more sponsorships or even the back pocket of Steve o'connor..

I was asked how we would get the money so i gave an answer? What do you want me to say? You want us to reject the Sky money, if its there, you use it.

| Promotion is now based predominantly on off-field crietria. Widnes tick most boxes (to coin a phrase) in this sense. Widnes should be promoted. It really is that simple.
Like Starbug said, it's the system that is wrong and not the problem of Widnes however ridiculous we all know it is.
