well that was then, a new wave of enthusiasm in the town if super league was at the shay would put attendances up around 5,000 well i hope.

Still 3/4,000 below what is needed

Even Edgar Guest couldn't get 6,500 through a Championship sides turnstyle every week, and quoting him won't help either.

I have known the bit I quoted for years but never the rest or who's quote it was

Thanks for that

No problem. You didn't quite quote it properly, but I knew which one it was. Here's the rest of it.

It couldn't be done:

when things have been going wrong

Yes his words.

Very interesting story that, Starbug. I assume it worked for you?

However, Martin Luther King and President Kennedy couldn't inspire people to turn up to a lower league sport like RL that play in an ever impoverished league, which is in the process of becoming nothing more than a feeder club league for SL clubs, and which has clubs that have no chance of ever being promoted solely through the sport they play itself.

Only the RFL can put good people who run these clubs in a position to achieve big crowds in this division, but they seem to be doing their damnedest to undermine them all at the moment.

Really?

When and where did he say that then?

In Vikingman's tiny little fantasy world.

STFU Rich ya troll.

One of the player of the month awards a few months back, dont know if it was tongue in cheek but i would imagine it to be true.

What a load of crap


You've got Jiffy disease mate

I have heard him intimate that he wouldn't take further rejection lying down. But that's a bit vague really, isn't it?

I haven't heard SOC state out-right that he would take the RFL to court.

Nope i was there you plum.


And how dare you associate me with Jiffylube.


Im disgusted by your vile comments.

Ahhh!

I'm surprised it wasn't discussed on the TIW board afterwards.

On what basis could SOC take the RFL to court? If you had concrete rules and a legally set of binding criteria then maybe you'd have a case but the sheer vagueness of the whole franchise system makes legal action nigh on impossible - not to mention the risk of alienating the RFL forever should a course of action be started.

Come on, even Jiffy knows all this !

That's the thing which actually might make it possible imo. Widnes would probably have to win everything from now on though to have a strong case.

A lot would also depend on which club they put in ahead of us too. Personally I doubt he'd take them to court. I think he'd just pack it in. And I wouldn't blame him for doing so.

The last franchises couldnt be appealed against, the next ones are open.........safe to say we are the strongest link so nobody will moan when we get in.


Steve O has already been told.

Such crazy talk (caused by offseason boredom - so Vikingman is excused for his Jiffyness) is irrelevant anyway. Widnes are in in 2012. Go forth and prepare for SL and all the joyousness that brings.

Are you his valet?

We havent had a signing for weeks, it can make a man crazy.

But as usual 4 are coming along at once this week.

Like buses except instead of two at once we get four.

Are they as big as buses? Like, massive prop forwards and second rowers. Are they like, as big as our Frank? Our Susan?

I expect quality, or else i'll be trolling like a trolling thing on here and you'll have to tell me to STFU again.
