Don't worry he'll get a few.......from the many other club boards he has put it on.

You're right, I am a Barrow fan.

Just posting info on who the SL license is going to.
Is there any point in other clubs applying ??

I posted it on the Fax and Leigh board (the other SL hopefuls) after seeing it on the Widnes forum. Just thought they'd like to know it was already a done deal.

IMO, the comment is great motivation for other aspiring clubs - just as Calland's were last season. If Widnes haven't had 'the nod' from the RFL, then I don't think they'll be too pleased in reading that their Chairman thinks it's a done deal.

looks like he got his bite here then



you have to admit it seems a little stupid to be promising things that no one can know for sure at this time

Not at all, not a bite, a comment, I found it quite amusing but not surprised. Callands comments were 100% about the team and their results. SOC's comments are regarding the off the field activites at the club. Having spoke to players last year that played for both Widnes and a SL club, Widnes' facilities are amongst the best in the game.

So he as not had talks ....but he's hearing voices in his head ...hmmmmm


Does god talk to him as well




Hope he's not telling him to kill

All in all they are better equiped than any other Championship side so I dont see what the fuss is about.

When Barrows ground comes into the 20th century and Fax into the 21st, then they wont be far behind provided they've still got some good financial backing, until then Widnes are far ahead IMO.

Should of got in last time, as for next time who knows as the decision is down to messars Lewis and Wood who I trust less than Maurice Lindsay! Maybe we will have Neath, Toulouse, Paris, Wrexham and Edinburgh in before any more heart land clubs?

200? Last time was an exception as we were playing gash, even i didnt go. You normally get a 1,000 from us.

Good on them if true, i would have Widnes in Super League before a good few who are in at the moment.

I suspose your right if you are on drugs or wearing funny glasses that multiply everything by 3???

Funny a bit like your predictions eh Ste?

Ah the usual Widnes "over confidence".

Personally they've been shafted by the RFL even more than us during the SL era so good luck to them getting back in. I just hope we win one of the competitions allowing us to make our application because I do feel we're heading in the right direction.

Many SL clubs seem to be struggling to make ends meet and aren't getting their grounds up to scratch so maybe both of us will stand a chance? Who knows?

Hmmm.

Could be some good old chest thumping and trying to muster up more support for Widnes.

Alternatively the fact that clubs are still even considering a f'ranchise process' after last years disgrace (and events since) shows just how crazy this "sport" is.

If the Widnes 'Chief' is so adamanet (without speaking to the RFL) then I'm afraid the franchise process will be as fair and well thought out as last time, except for the words Celtic replace them with Widnes.

The sooner RL starts being a sport again the sooner the game can get back to attracting fans again.

i'll stick to what i,ve said before.widnes are nailed on for next time and there will be no relegation.i'll wait a while longer before i make a guess about another team going up with them.

Cannot imagine the RFL will keep paying for Toulouses travel & accomodation expenses without the thought they may see a return on that investment.
Dafter things have happened but I reckon they are nailed on for SL.

When they boot Celtic and Wakefield out, there will be room for both of them.

i think if the french win a trophy and at least double there gates i think they'll be in.if they treble there gates i don't think they will need to win anything.

Why is it not a sport? Because there is no P&R?

Damn, that explains why the Aussies are so awful at the game.

If we are talking about "box ticking" as being the best thing to come out of a NRC win (as the RFL did in its press release when Widnes beat Barrow) and we are talking about clubs progressing up a division into the elite league based on Stadia and richness of the chairmen rather than skill and guile of players exciting the fans then I'm afraid your not talking about sport to me.
Business , yes, Sport - definatly no.

As for Australia, they don't do bad, however they're nearest rivals New Zealand don't do too bad either, and they only have 1 club in a elite league.

I dont remember predicting 3/1 winners

At least 10 x times more than that.....

This is Widnes we're talking about Bart - not Hull KR!!

And no P&R either?

My mistake Walt...........
