I went in the shop today Daz was going to contact Widnes pretty sure with the probable numbers travelling they will open one of the ends for is

That would be great if they did. I'm holding off buying my ticket for a few days anyway, so would be nice if they announced something by the end of the week.

They've agreed to open up one end for us
They'll be on their website tomorrow tagged "Away fans"

Sorry but no. It’s a once in a generation opportunity in the second tier. If we have real ambition, then we need to forget about this comp other than getting out of it. We’ve had some fun at Wembley, now all we need to do is concentrate on winning the GF. Going unbeaten etc is a silly distraction imo.

I don’t doubt it would be an achievement, especially for die hard fans. But in truth, this time next year nobody will care. They will only care about SL.

I know you won’t agree, but due to the IMG element it allows us to team build, and for me that’s the absolute priority. Let’s also be honest here, a fair number of those who played on Saturday will not be here next year. There is a huge amount of work to be done.

Some may not be here next year but they are the rocks that our new found ambition is being built on.

Nothing about this season should be forgotten

Kind of with you, but to go unbeaten in the league would be an incredible achievement, I'm not sure it's ever been done? Leigh couldn't do it with essentially the side that went on to win the challenge cup and finish 5th in SL the year after.

We're not going the season undefeated (in the league). We make too many errors and give away silly penalties for that. Toulouse away, Bradford away, Featherstone at home. All these are tricky fixtures where we could come unstuck.

Let's revisit this at the end of the season, when we have finished the season unbeaten

Imagine in years to come telling your grandkids about the treble winning, invincible season. I doubt any fan alive would forget it.

Didn't Huddersfield go unbeaten when they got relegated?

I'm not sure how you can say that with such belief Khlav. We do make errors and give penalties away, but the other teams we play give more of both, even though most of the time we completely dominate possession, so more chances of silly handling mistakes etc. The top teams in SL make errors and give penalties away, it's the nature of the beast. I'd like to see the stats on errors and penalties we've made this season so far, to see how we compare.

We may turn in a poor performance and lose eventually, but then again we may not. From what I've seen so far, there's more chance of us going unbeaten than not. Apart from those 2 games in the mud at Featherstone, even when we haven't been at our best, the teams you mention haven't been able to live with us, especially when the second half rolls around. We're just so much more fitter, bigger and with better players than the rest of the teams around us and so we should. Sheffield got fairly hyped up going into first playing them, with us both being unbeaten and we've dispatched them twice now, easily. Most of the better Champ teams can maybe compete for the first 20 minutes, even the first half sometimes but the same seems to happen every game, we grind them down, make them work too hard in that period, they gas and then we take over.

Even though we've scored a lot of points this season, it's got to be said our defence and the way they all work for each other, even when we're 40 points up has been superb this season. You can really see that our defence is the foundation of everything we do and as long as that is working, the rest clicks into gear.

Tbh all the talk of going unbeaten is probably just something we fans think about at the moment. DP will have the lads grounded and not get too far ahead of themselves, taking each game as it comes, one by one. When the time comes near the end of the season if we're still unbeaten, I bet then it only becomes something that the team/coaches even think about. Ateotd as long as we win the stuff that gets us IMG points, that's all that really matters, everything else will just be a cherry on the top this season.

Pretty sure Hull did it in the old second division many years ago.
I'm personally not bothered if we do or don't but it is possible.
It is nice to have an expectancy to win that hasn't been evident for many years.
The longer it goes of course, the harder the first defeat is going to be.
I remember back in the 60's we won 23 games on the trot ending with a 9-9 draw at Batley! As a young lad I was gutted but we still won the next 4 games after that!
28 games undefeated!
Enjoy it while it lasts!

Sports throws up all sorts of results, take last season, there's no way Wigan should have lost against Trinity, but they did. Widnes following Wembley is a test.

Anyhow as long as we remain undefeated come the play offs, well then that is when it really matters.

It already is, try and find a match report etc on main stream media. Don’t get me wrong, I’m loving it and I won’t forget, but that’s you and me, we’d celebrate a two magpies flying over the ground.

If Ellis dream comes true this season will be a footnote.

I’d be delighted if we did and I agree a great achievement. All I’m saying is that it’s not the main aim.

Promotion and then finding a way to achieve an A rating, which would protect our top flight status.
A different Championship Club will be trying to win the 1895 cup and Championship GF next season and no doubt be pushing for a SL spot, we have to make absolutely certain that they or, anyone else, cannot replace us in SL.

And I'm saying, if you are right, we have done something wrong.

Just like the club have started recognising Kelly's promotion winning side, this side should not be forgotten.

I'm almost certain Hull FC did it in the old second division in 79/80 season before the advent of Super League at the start of their rise to prominence in the 80's

I was thinking the same.

........and they went on to be a major club in the early 80s.

Agree.
That's the most important thing.......

Tickets ordered from Widnes for Sunday price £22 per ticket adult

Yeah, we buy tickets for the North Stand but, I think that we're going to be in the South Stand.
A bit weird but, whatever works ?

Scrap that, apparently we are sharing the North Stand with Widnes.

The world doesn’t end at BV does it, there is a wider one. Of course these things are remembered by the faithful and those who were there, but that’s not going to generate new fans is it. I know it’s your mission to disagree with everything I post, even when you’re clearly intelligent enough to know I’m right, a certain amount of hubris on your part.

Les than 60 seconds on both Look North and Calendar regarding our game suggests it’s already a non event as far as the media and the wider sporting world are concerned.

There are far more positives than negatives from Saturday’s game. It was a real shot in the arm for the faithful and it also peaked the interest of the lapsed.

But let’s be real just for once. We are still in the Championship for now, we won what should be called the nice day out at Wembley Cup, even Gale pointed that out. Enjoy it, I am, but it’s a tiny achievement compared to what I believe will come in the next few years. First one being to get back to SL.
