I sensed a MASSIVE sigh of relief today from the West. 4,000 Widnes fans in unison fell to their knees and thanked God that their Leigh nightmare is finally over. Terry Waite looked in a better state after they un-handcuffed him from those Lebanese radiators after 4 years. And now, off they go to Super League - all the better for it

At least it prepares them for expecting defeats before they've even turned up.

Rich, you are my hero.

Your a barsteward, im never ever speaking to you again.

We should have beat them today, 3 clean breaks without a finish and we now leave this league with a bitchy feeling in the back of the mind. Pre season friendly must be organised so we can show our Super League muscle and run over them.


It would seem Batley are now bitching the Fax.

Hmmmm, £1.2m versus £300k. Go get 'em Vicky !

And with regards to Batley - indeed they are. It's the main reason we're nicking their coach next year and probably picking the bones over their squad. Always evolve Vikingman, assimilate if you have to. Don't just lie face down taking it.

Not sure were all these Harrison rumours are coming from, heard today he's lined up for a current SL job.

Exactly, muscles are to be flexed when your drinking wine and eating roids.

Not going Thursday, dont want a banner slapping me in the face with a flatcapper army chanting rude words.

Maybe you are right. Look where having these big name players has got us over the last 3 seasons.

Yeah, nowhere, you're still slumming it and having to pick up the scraps off Batleys table.

I was thinking more, 2 Grand Finals and A northern rail cup final. I for one wouldnt change that for the world and i guess even though you have touched the NRC i suspect Batley fans are slightly jealous of their more ilustrious neighbours which i guess is where this inferiority complex comes from. Where as Fax fans really arnt that bothered as we like small town local clubs and want them to do well.

And you call beating you 4 on the bounce inferior, yeah, ok, just carry on living the dream.

I think this goes under 'astonishingly misplaced arrogance' I mentioned in my original thread.

And I'd go for a rather smug pity than jealousy.

not arrogance at all,most fax fans like batley and respect them highly,i dont know what your problem is with us,good on you for beating us you are a good side.i still think we will beat you if we meet in play offs but that is not arrogance just me backing my side.you slag the hell out of us on your forum and i dont know why,my perception of batley fans is definately changing.

In what sense?

Theres no complex here. I think what Batley have done this season is nothing short of outstanding. But it does seem there is this problem where when you beat us Batley fans come on here spouting off saying Fax fans always think they should beat Batley. Im not sure where this comes from because it happened last time even though most Fax fans agreed that Batley deserved to win. When that happens its suggests to me that someone has an inferiority complex.

I thought we deserved to win yesterday. So what? Thats how sport works, i wont be losing any sleep over it.

Yeah well done on that. Maybe you can get some T-shirts printed like Fev did?

Some people are getting their Fox's biskwits in a twist

I don't understand the bitterness coming from Batley.

Loads of us enjoy going there, a nice bar room, excellent food, somewhere to sit outside if the weather is fine.
Always a good game, can we score enough if we play down hill first (obviously no, yesterday) and sometimes we play better uphill. A close game most times and, as was obvious yesterday we out number Batley supporters by a very large margin.

For our party it is always a good afternoon out, so why Batley fans do you slag us off. Without us yesterday you wouldn't have had 500.

O'h and we always like to check on how our new coach is progressing.

Littlerich,

Probably get in trouble from our Mods about this, but.

A piece about Columbo's "battered and beloved Peugeot"

It is stored at Universal Studios.

When i win the Euromillions it's either that car or a Halifax RLFC takeover.

Plus you could also donate a bit to a deserving charity, c/o The Chief Executive, Leigh Centurions RLFC, Leigh Sports Village.............

I was actually going to give some to Richard Lewis and Nigel Wood for the stirling work they've done over the last six years. In fact, i may be nominating them for a Pride of Britain award. Sniff. I'm filling up now..................

I am seriously considering nominating Nigel Wood to run with the Olympic Torch .
There is a Loyds advert on the telly asking people for their nominations the sight of watching Nigel having to run a mile or two with the torch and without stops for the buffet is something I would even pay to see.
