We've won two Northern Rail Cups.

As a Saints fan Im extremely optimistic about the next chapter.
We have just moved into brand new training facilities which by all accounts are as good as they get In League. We have finally got rid of the financial millstone that was Knowsley Road. And thanks to McMannus's vision to invest heavily In junior development we are as well placed in that department as anybody.
Yea over the last couple of years McMannus has had to juggle a lot of balls but once we move Into the new stadium I dont think we'll be looking with envious eyes at anyone.

Eh? you hadnt won a championship until 1978 we'd won one THIRTY years before that then we did the double in 1954.

I'll have wigan having a go at our success compared to theirs but not feckin Widnes.
I loved the fact about Widnes being the LAST team to beat the Aussies.... who were the FIRST to beat them on that tour......Wires
First is everything Last is nowhere...or in Widnes if you need directions...

Why not? Win a WCC and we'll except you into the club. Ah so you bear them before they were match fit and jet / boat lagged... Well done



If you don't want us to have a go... Match it, that's how it usually works!

What sounds better.... 'last club side to beat a touring Kangaroos side (full stop)' or 'first team to beat the 1978 touring Kangaroos side' ?

And change your sig as you haven't won every major honour in the game.... It's coming.... FACT

Did I miss something, "when we get into SupeLeague", have you heard already?
Cas and Wakey fans would love to hear in view of the league bailing out the boyos.??

p.s. it was a disgrace when the original league as formed and you were excluded.

hmm so much wrong but i'm in.....

we beat them 5 games into a tour so any jet leg was worn off and they had got some games under their Belt....if only we could have played them immediatley after a test match against GB when they played the fringe players...now let me check who was that....... oh yes Widnes.... and you won by a massive one point.

not that your old enough to remember one, but when an Aussie tour took place the feeling for the fans was everyone wanted to be the first team to beat them, because the gloss is lost for the next team that beats them.

but I tried your example of which sounded best....
"which was the first Cheshire team to be relegated from the top flight" and "which was the Last...."

I cant make my mind up....

Which is the only Cheshire team to be crowned World Champions whilst which other is most famous for Kerry Katonna?

Sorry becasue i always here people talking about Widnes, i seen Warrington on top gear the other day

Let these widnes fellas dream of SL,we will just win it!

Much more of a chance than you lot,that's for sure!

Totally i agree 100 percent i think that the double challenge cup winners and also grand finalists have a lot to worry about now us northern rail winners are going to be back in the big time. LOL

Behave

we won that in 89 - 20 plus years ago LOL and we have sporty spice which is worse
plus they have just won back to back challenge cups so i think we should be quiet oh yeah they relegated us too and just beat us recently with a reserve team..

You are a Wire fan in disguise.

NO WAY !

Im wtid.... but all im saying is that people who live in green houses and stones etc,,

Warrington are miles and miles ( even matt callands country miles) better than us and i think we need to stop arguing on here with them cos we look silly. Next year then we have a right.


But for now a nrc an championship double will be nice

You are bound to have more of a chance.You are already in Superleague.

We have to wait till we get a licence.

"IF" you get a licence!!!!!!!!!!!!

They were supposedly miles better when we came into SL in 2002, but we still beat them 3 times that season.

Until Dire win the WCC...which ain't gonna happen, they'll be just like Manchester City, Always living in its neighbours shadows.

Is that the smog ?

the smog over warrington? because there is no heavy or chemical industry in widnes anymore. maybe its the clouds of soap and throat burning bleach vapour from that factory near Bank Quey train station?
the only time i ever have asthma issues these days is when im in the vicinity of that place

Yea! I think it's that Ginger kid we banned and went off to watch wire! FWIW I highly admire Saints & what Wigan did last year! Wire commercially are also brilliant but when they kept spending massive money on the likes of Hodgson & Monaghan knocking Riley back to reserves just for short term success and moan for cap increase I don't have much time for them!

The game be a joke if we dont get a licence.We have done everything what the criteria asks, and we are the only club in the Championship that tick all the boxes.We should swap with Wakey.

I can't believe that some Widnes fans are still hanging on to something that happened 22 years ago. That sort of thinking is exactly whd Wirey you nearly went bust a couple of years ago. Fortunately your current owner does not live in the past and is looking to the future.
In answer to the original question, if Widnes do get back into SL, then it will have no effect on the followings of Saints and Wire, it may even have a positive effect as the visit of Widnes (probably instead of Wakefield) will just about generate full houses.

We have sponsors and a owner who can help our dreams.Chelsea are not bigger than Liverpool or Man Utd but a billionaire has bought them success.
