8913 days ago (on sunday) Chris Anderson held aloft the Challenge Cup at Wembley. At the time it seemed unthinkable that 23 years later we would still be waiting for our next major piece of silverware

8913 days is a sodding long time! A whole generation has never tasted success.

8913 DAYS!!!!

Surely our time has come

thought you were on about the next time windies will win something of substance instead of being piggy backed into the top division by the rfl

The RFL really are in our pocket. They've never made decisions which favoured others over us and literally the only reason we're primed for super league is some big conspiracy and nothing to do with being the strongest club.



Jog on.

I think you mean you have a benefactor and a supportive council, that have allowed you to focus on areas more than others in our league. Strongest club is a wafer thin argument considering you were also in administration not so long back, and should sugar daddy walk away you would be back to square one.

I think the RFL are great. Giving Widnes club of the year there by softening the blow to them when they are told that they wont be going in to SL because they have decided to leave it as it is because every single team currently in the top flight scores more points than them.

your right it is nothing to do be with being the strongest club, as you are not, sport is measured in on field resultsby the fans, we do not go to the pub after the game and get all enthusiattic over, losing or having the potential due to backers or a yuth policy.

The RFL are business men who get paid a shed load of cash to [utry[/u and take our game forward, no matter what they do some will think they have it wrong.

As my old managers used to tell me, the table does not lie, and for the last two seasons fax have been a stronger club.

now getting back to the thread rather than a Widnes V Fav same old same old debate, that has already been decided!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

what was the thread again!

1983 for us - even father away in the anals of time!
It's been a while!

That Chris Dalton is pretty anal!!!


Only on our board now cos nowts happening on theirs!
He should jog off back to his chemical polluted scouseland.
Once they are in not so super league they can grumble away about how they cannot compete with the Saints and Wire when they are getting hammered week in week out.
Frankly we are miles away from moving up if ever

I am really not bothered about Widnes right now I am only interested in Fax wining the 1st major silverwear since I started supporting them (19 years) COME ON FAX

i thought you won the NL1 Play Off Final the other year no?

Around 1997 IIRC against Wakefield, who were then admitted to Super League?

That was the NL2 (at the time) play off final.

They beat Oldham at Headingley.

They came runners up to our Welsh friends who were promoted at champions.

we did - nowt like this tho!!
