Let's hope it continues. I hope the top 4 continues to have Lancashire sides involved because that will make for some pretty special play off encounters this year. |

| Quote ="Steve Ella's Beard"No, my definition of a big club (and the same definition of most of the people I know) is based on the total amount achieved since it's formation combined with the support base of the club.
Liverpool in football would still be a big club even taking away any honours other than domestic League championships, which they haven't won since 89-90, coupled with their excellent support, 18 wins makes them a big club even if they go another 20 years without winning one.
In the trophies that mattered most to Rugby League fans, Warrington's 3 championships and 6 challenge cups isn't quite there yet.'"
So basically your criteria of a big club filters out everyone other than Saints & Wigan? I mean, can we be specific now just so I can weigh up how long its going to take Warrington to become a big club? Exactly how many Championships / Leagues and Challenge Cup wins = a big club? |

size of club:
Support Base
Income
Success on the field
History + well known outside of RL heartlands
Stadium
Training Facilities
Rivalries
Your stadium is that of a middling club (only 13k)
Your history is nowhere near wigan saints etc
Your main rival is in NL1

far away from the leaders leeds, hull, wigan im afraid and weve not even had any big games at home

One question
Why do Wigan and Saints fans spend so much time discussing Warrington if you think that they are insignificant?

Check out 'Steve Ella's Beard's' reply rearding big / small clubs. You may have been joking, he is not!

It passes the time brilliantly. I wouldn't go trolling on the Warrington board though. |

No, Leeds get there as well (7&11), Bradford are pushing it (6&5) by the additions during the Super League Era. Hull FC for their ongoing big fanbase. How many big clubs do you think there can actually be? 2? 4? 6? 10?..... you have to draw the line somewhere, just don't expect me to draw it in the same place as you.
At the end of the day mate, you can class your own club as whatever the hell you like, and you can try to promote your own rivalries as more important than others - Just don't expect the clubs that you're trying to get under the skin of to treat you in the way you'd like, just because you've looked in a mirror and said "oooow i'm actually quite a hottie".
Wigan and Saints are huge rivals for everything that's gone on between the 2 clubs in the post war era (not just the trophy haul between them) |

It's a thread about Rivalry, it was suggested that Wigan's lack of trophies during the superleague Era (still double Wires, and many many more finals/semi appearances) apparently made Wigan not a big club anymore. If we're not a big club, then you're fecking clown shoes mate. If however we're a big club, then Warrington are indeed right up there.
Come dishing crap out, expect a truckload back. |

Not trying to get under anyones skin mate!! Like I said earlier, Warrington are after recognition only! We are not a small club. Surely any team who achieved a grade 'A' in the Superleague franchising criteria cannot be classed as a small team? |

Warrington are obviously a sizable club and with the money they're investing getting bigger all the time.
That said, as someone rightly pointed out earlier, they're just that annoying little kid trying to butt in on the big boys' (Saints/Wigan) rivalry.
