You look at the teams leaving super league and go into vulture mode, "Who would i take from them?"

In truth, there is not a single player from Widnes that would improve us.

The only player you may take a punt on is either of the Chapleows (sp?) Because they are still young enough to train up, however, don't know what they'd offer over G.King, who we've just let go.

The Toronto pitch is a ing disgrace!

No way is it regulation size (width) and when watching their games it’s like you’ve taken LSD seeing random different coloured lines going in all directions.

This'ish
I don't know about it not being regulation because it's allowed by the rfl but it is a scribble disgrace!

I wonder who pays the bill when someone's windscreen gets smashed by a stray rugby ball as they drive past the ground?

Bound to happen sooner or later

There used to be a chap at Wilderpool who had the NHS vehicle parked pitch side between the railway end and Snookers.

Anyone old enough to remember?

Ross Autos. No DLA Chelsea tractors in those days.

Yes, but from memory there was more than one.

I remember him well. Always used to exit down the back of Legend. Tough luck if you were in his way

Didn't the manufacturer of these little blue numbers also make the AC Cobra?

looks like a nice lotus cortina by the side of it.

Are these not the AC Invacar then?

Correct, AC/Thundersley Invacar...AC built the Ace, the chassis of which was used by Carroll Shelby of Ford in the US to create the AC Cobra. The Invacar was built for the government, which owned them and leased them out to disabled drivers until 1977

Yes it was a DHSS Benefit.

Apparently a number exist in private ownership and can be driven today.

The pre runner to the mobility scooters.

I always remember waiting for high penalty kicks to touch heading towards that area

1. 19 I think


2. Correct


3. Not with on-field performances.

There's no chance of that. The Council own the Stadium and make money renting it out to all and sundry.


You won't find many Widnes fans who are glad they have it!

OMG that brings back the memories of Wilderspool

It's going to be dug up this year and replaced with a grass one as they will get more money by having Everton's and Liverpool's women teams play there.

The fat lady is warming up her vocal chords

Sad for me really.
I'd prefer our 'noisy neighbours' over Leeds for sure.

I think she’s already sung the first verse and is halfway through the chorus.
Not looking at all good for Widnes.

They're gone, they need a miracle to finish 6th never mind getting to the MPG. I've said it before I really hope they come back, feel for the fans it's not been good for thgnm for a while but it's going to get worse before it gets better.
