Of course i do Frank, what the RFL are doing though is wrong and more clubs will carry on going to the wall in the next few years. We all have to get to SL thats were the money is and thats were the crowds are.

Apart from the bottom six of course. Super League is great - for those that can afford it. Some of those clubs you mention going to the wall - could just as easy happen to some poorly performing SL clubs too. For some reason (and i haven't quite fathomed out why yet) the lower clubs always seem to bounce back. Look at Oldham and Doncaster. How and why the hell are they still going?

| This post needs to be locked as it is becoming silly now.I love my club Widnes and i will go to leigh even though do not like them. I think Widnes fans are just frustrated like myself because we should be performing better.The low salary cap is actually testing how good the coaches are on a small budget.Hopefully we can turn the corner and start to play as a team.Leigh are coming on here finding it funny, and some of us are falling into their hands.Leigh are mutants and are lucky to have millward as a coach.

Today has been a good day, even managed to convince Demon not to attend the Stobarts.
A Message Board victory if ever ive seen one.

tbh, I don't want SL either because it will kill us, like it may do Widnes of being spanked for a 3 season term.
SL ? Good luck Widnes. You are welcome to it!

Believe me, it isn't where the money is. You'd think you'd make a fortune when you're charging £20+ to get in, but it quickly gets swallowed up.

| To be honest, all away suppourt is not what it used to be a few years ago for all teams. No P&R and ticket prices are the main factors, I mean £16 for a match is a bit hefty mind you nowhere else is much better. I think however this arguement was pointless. Both sets of fans are as bad as each other.

| I thought halifax had caravans and the gypsies of the league? Ok if do not want to be mutants how about been gypsies or s. I am actually over the disappointment and maybe a kick up the bum for the widnes squad is needed.I just hope cullen drops players whoever they are.Nobody is bigger than the club and players should be picked on performance.So mullaley,lawton and others who perform in the reserves should step up.Hey lets give alot of loving.

I'd be very surprised if Mr Millward is not on the very short lists of coaching candidates at Huddersfield and Bradford. I can't see Saints taking a punt again.

| Firstly what an absolute gas this thread is... For a bunch of fans that are fed up of VM this really is one hell of a frenzy on here about him not going. You'd of thought that there would have been trumpets and bunting... instead there's outrage and desperation.
Secondly... I'm still laughing at the Leigh fans pointing the finger at Widnes fans for not turning up in numbers. This is like the Greek Treasury having a pop about the state of other countries finances. Hilarious.
We didn't hear a peep out of them all last year and then all of a sudden.. booof.. here they all are.. and by here. I mean on these messageboards because their home attendances are still poor.
I even heard one fan state that they at least take 25% of their attendances on the road.. well 25% of not very many is not very many at all.
I was honest in my opinion of Thursday night.. I thought we were outplayed and outfought..
Leigh looked superb and are justifiably earning their plaudits this year..
With that in mind you would have thought that most talk from their fans would have been about the performance.. but man oh man.. talk about an insecurity complex.

I think the frenzy is due to the idiotic nature of his post. He sure does set himself up for ridicule sometimes. People just respond in the likely manner. I imagine it's akin to badger baiting.

Alot of people made a good effort to leave work straight away and go straight to the game with their famalies and all you here is, shocking following. A little bit disrespectful if you ask me. Next time Leigh bring 200 fans down to the Stobart i cant wait to let you know what a shocking following you have.
At the end of the day if we have a shocking following,=#800000 bare in mind we bring hundreds more to any more stadium than any other team, doesn't say alot about your support and other clubs support.'"
you haven't brought very many to fev for the last few years.
a couple of hundred if that, we'll take a few hundred to Leigh on Tuesday even though its a work day and we have to throw a six to get over the hill and we brought far more to your ground the other week than you'll bring to ours in the next 2 seasons so please don't put all other teams support down just cos your upset with Leigh fans

We do take hundreds more than any other club, you're just bitter that Featherstone's home support is and has been historically very poor.
