Only half of you will remember that, the other half didn’t appear till your first Wembley.

Can we say that to you when another 3000 other Demics start watching your lot in SL.

Personally I think this thread has been quite amusing, no need to rise to the taunts and fishing from Wire fans - surely no Widnes fan expected the Wire fans to be full of praise did they?

On a serious note, the Wire fans are probably quite right not to be too worried about us at the minute - getting into SL was the fairly easy task for Widnes, competing and staying there is the hard task. Unless we get our recruitment spot on, we will be in for a beating by a few teams not just Warrington.

Yes this is quite amusing, see you next year for more banter and insults.


Night all.

i think i might have started something here (ho ho!)

Is this coming from the town that was in a recent government report the worst place to live in the whole country?

Crow away gentlemen. Just make sure my shoes are shined you bunch of tory voting, big pink eye worshipping, cousin fancying manchesterites.

And stop begging on the streets of widnes it's shameful.

something smells funny round here!

Round here being, around your computer in warrington? Because the internet doesn't smell.

In other words, slim, he who smelt it, dealt it.

ah but i'm in widnes! hence the post!

One of our finest tramps too. But there's a superdrug around the corner treat yourself to some anti persperant.

Remember slim, you slag us off but you're the one who chooses to live here of his own free will. In a ditch.

i don't live in widnes! just passing through, gas mask in situ. you seem to know a lot about tramps mr dalton! something of a passion maybe?

anyway are you gonna get another 3 years after this round of franchises?

If I was aWidnes fan i wouldn't give a because i'd know im in SL for the next 3 years





Plus our youths going to tear the league apart

ASBOs to the lot 'em, then.
I don't know, kids today, eh

My aspirations for next year, would be to stay off the bottom. Under the current coach, that would be an achievement. Much depends on recruitment.

Will we trouble the Dire? No.

I would hope for steady improvement and, by the end of the next licence period, a possible top 8 club. From then on, I’d expect us to be troubling the Dire.

I would also be hoping for an average attendance of 6,000 – 7,000 in our first season, with a steady increase. This would undoubtedly depend on team performance.

Yes, the Dire now have a very good team, but how long has it taken you to get where you are now?

After all these years in Super League, you haven’t even looked like reaching a Grand Final. Two Challenge cups, after all these years, hardly makes the Dire a shining example. You are not in the top four SL clubs, imo.

You may call Widnes fans for going on about the WCC but, despite all this time you have spent in SL, you have yet to even qualify to play in it. Until you have won a GF and a WCC, there is very little difference between us.

For anyone in doubt believe me when I say this, by this time next year you'll know who your real derby opponents are.

LOLZ

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you're not.

Yes, the Dire now have a very good team, but how long has it taken you to get where you are now?

About 15 years I think, since we were top of the top flight. How long has it taken YOU to get where you are now. Also the WCC team no longer exists, it went bust, you have a history of two and a half years.

As long as you, but in much more trying circumstances. The point being, despite your permanent tenure in Super League, you have little more to show for it. We don’t have to win the WCC again though you see, we’ve already done it. Your club has failed, miserably, and has under achieved throughout the SL era.



It doesn’t work like that, Chief. It is the same club, in the same stadium, with the same fans and with the same history. We just have different owners and a different trading name. There’d be several current SL clubs who’d have to discount their whole history, if that were the case. Have they? The answer is no.

not a top 4 club



so the top 4 is

wigan
st helens
leeds

and????????????????

On the field yes, but over all as a club - NO

Wigan, Leeds, Saints and Bradford are all far more accomplished clubs in the SL era than the Dire. I would put you on a level with Hull FC, dangling around the 5th and 6th mark. Perhaps the Dire will change that this season.

We'll see.

i used to think wirewonder was an aberration. seems i was wrong, his syndrome is obvioulsy much more common than previously thought.
anyway, i could get into C*ck measuring contest, but there really is a whole universe of much better things to do.

you gotta love these guys.

Good for Worriers, Leeds, Stains and Bradford
All I'm interested in is this season
We are an A graded club off the field
We are (as I type) top of the league.
We currently have a trophy in our cabinet.

Do us all a favour, and concentrate on your own shortcomings, where your currently 5 points behind your league leaders, having played a game more.

Sweet isn't it. Getting accused of illusions of grandeur when Warrington have won 2 major trophies in the last two years and widnes have not won anything this century. Comical.

Regardless of how cringeworthy a few of them are (and it is a few, not all) it will be great to have them back and although some are touchy about the banter, that will be fun when the derby arrives.

It will be good next year with them back in SL. With Warrington and Wigan in good health, Widnes back again, and Saints in their new ground, there should be some good gates.

There were quite a few people at the 16-62 game. You may recall that.
