Oi this is the Widnes board you bunch of tarts.

HA HA!



Oh stop complaining Moaning Minnie!

Are you planning to improve it? As I mentioned earlier has sharing with the footie team ever been mentioned or even hapened? I'm not trying to wind u up if it's a sore subject, we at fax know the footie fans don't think a great deal of us!

I believe plans are going to be announced in the next couple of months regarding the complete re-development of Craven Park. This would involve demolishing every side (except the new-ish grandstand) and rebuilding from the ground up. The 'footprint' will easily accomodate a capacity to meet with SL requirements.

Of course money is an issue, but there's been a lot of work being done in the background and there is funding/grants etc out there. Watch this space.

Groundsharing has been on the cards many times and it really splits opinions. There is a new Marina Village Complext being built and a joint stadium was on the plans. However it only had a 5,000 capacity and the council wanted both the Raiders and Barrow AFC to sell up and put ALL THE PROCEEDS into the new stadium. As far as Barrow RL are concerned, selling the family silver like that is never going to happen.

I think once Craven Park has been redeveloped, Barrow AFC will be invited to groundshare. It's up to them if they want to. Whatever happens, Barrow RL will still own their stadium (the land is worth £5M+).

Pretty pointless then if you ever wanted to apply for SL. The redevloment of craven park sounds good though.

You are Dave Tarry's Cumbrian cousin and I claim 5 whole English pounds.

Dont talk sh*te !!

Im too of the opinion that we have only really played well for 80 minutes in a couple of games. If we play like we did in the 1st 40 against Haven no one in this league will live with us. If we play like we did in the 2nd forty we would be an average team in this league like the Vikings.(just keeping it Widnes for the forum.

) When we played you lot at yours, i think even you will admit we were pretty poor all through the game and didnt deserve the win.

It won't matter, the uprights will be moved to accomodate. Catalans came to the end of their 3 year 'trial' and what happened? Franchises. One season finishing 3rd and then getting pummelled in he playoffs seemed to justify keeping them. Where are they now? Back near the bottom. Oh, and the employment laws don't apply to them so they could sign that convict Bird.

Same could be said for Barrow. If we play like we did against Fax in the 1st half at home nobody will live with us. The second half wasn't so good and Fax mugged us for the win. We've improved no end since then though with Luisi, Catic, Mossop and Holt added to the squad and in excellent form.

But you were only 8 points (i think) infront at half time, we were 24-0 up at Haven, then almost blew it!

Widnes are about to complete a triple swoop ahaead of Thursdays clash with Leigh Centurions. The club have agreed deals with Darren Lockyer, Willie Mason and Sonny Bill Williams and all have secured visas. Vikings sporting director Terry O'connor said " I can already here the soiling of underpants from Barrow and Halifax" the triple signings should give the Vikings a real lift in the second half of the season and coach Cullen is also excited "Willie's a big unit and were hoping that he can crush some bones like that guy in the old james bond films (Jaws). Lockyer and Webster will work well as a combo and this will allow John Duffy to rotate with Mark Smith from hooker" coach Cullen is also looking for a big impact from Williams who he see's as a centre " Sonny will give opposition defenders nightmares as he's extremely powerful and is capable of ripping you in half and eating your bones". The Vikings next home Game is against Gateshead in two weeks time. www.widnesvikings.co.uk
