I believe that they wanted to launch their stadium, in a prestigious manner, with two former World Club Champions going head to head. They thought about Wigan, but they play them too many times now and it is making their main derby game that little less special. They thought about Bradford and Leeds, but came to the conclusion that the local derby we now play in pre-season (The Karalius Cup) would bring in more fans.

Obviously, Warrington wouldn't be in a position to be considered.

Nonsense. Widnes are more than welcomed to be our first opponents by Saints fans and we're pleased to see our near neighbours back in the big time. I just hope our traditional Easter Monday derby is resurrected.

As for 'no rivalry',well i can say back in the mid-80s when i first started to be took to RL games as a kid, Widnes were always regarded as our 2nd biggest game after Wigan,and were for years after that until the demise of Widnes. We are neighbouring towns so there will always be local rivalry at stake.

0 out of 10 for your post.

Can't wait for this one. Got a tough decision to make where to stand on the day though. Girlfriend and her family all mad Saints fans!

Nonsense is par for the course for a Brucie posting RS.Nobody takes him seriously,except himself.

Real Catch 22 that.

For your own sake, sit with the saints fans and hope we lose but go down fighting. It's the only way.

Will sit with my girlfriend and the Saints fans (in all my Widnes gear), hope we win and its a great game...

You're not STILL living off a win against a demotivated and half d Canberra Raiders side way back in 1989 are you? ZZZzzz

And i'd hardly say any game thesedays involving the hapless Vikings can be described as 'prestigious'.

Good luck next season anyway. You're going to need it!

WOOSH!



But thanks.

You are just a , so jog on you idiot.

Who do you support as you need windmilling.

Right, your starting to hijack threads now. You're warned. Stay on topic, and play nice.

No they weren't demotivated in any way, shape or form. They wanted to win it, the Aussie TV commentators wanted them to win it and the fans back in Australia wanted them to win it. They just weren't as good as us on the day. The fact that you cannot accept this, just shows what a bitter little troll you are.





But the Wire Bottlers would be? Ha. ha, deluded Wire tw@




You just worry about your own pathetic bottlers

Its ok mate I just assumed you were a thick Widnes fan who couldnt be d reading the thread ,






And looking forward to seeing you all at "Langtree Park" (God thats sounds classy) and it being a craker of a game , which I dont doubt it will be

I would be more surprised that anyone is shocked that we are playing widnes. We've only done it for the last few seasons.

yes, but your a meddlesome race of billion year old extremists who have read to much into the works of Hobbes and Darwin, whilst being locked in an age old struggle with the vorlons. so what would you know

DS9 FTW.

Eddie Hemmings is a Founder.

aRE YOU JOE WINTER?



.

Who? And no, im not.

I think you've got that a bit messed up, as the Shadows are more likely to have influenced the beliefs of Hobbes and Darwin to promote the survival of the fittest approach to counteract the meddling Vorlons who set themselves up as god, in a creationist approach, epitomised by their manipulation of DNA so that humans saw them as Angels passing on the wisdom of god.

yes I know. I was attempting to keep it a little less heavy

Babylon 5...all heavy, but at the same time not heavy enough....

No you don't.

It's stupid to try and belittle Widnes' world club challenge win and equally as stupid for you label Wire as "bottlers". League leaders and two x challenge cup wins in the past three years? Hardly bottlers is it? We got beaten by a better team on the night(Leeds).Surely the same would apply to St Helens as they too lost to Leeds. I fully understand you wanting to make the troll look a knob, and rightly so. But to try and belittle one of the most succesfull sides over the past few years, to get your point across is a bit daft mate.
