Traditional fixtures once more. Widnes v Wigan/Saints/Warrington/Leeds/Hull/Bradford etc is what we all love. And it will be back with the luxury of it being for at least 3 years. We'll kick on and get amongst it all again.

Watching Benji Marshal et al

Im looking forward to the derby games against wire and st helens
magic weekend and going to france.

Bigger attendances and atmosphere.I think with us going to the full cap, we mean business and is great to have £1.8 million to spend.Looking forward to Cardiff, and not too far for me as i work in Gloucester.

Anybody want bed and breakfast?

You obvioulsy haven't seen the Saints cheerleaders?


I hope you like them young

A better standard of rugby even if we are to get beat

Mainly the big game atmosphere. Thats the one thing you miss in the championship. While i love Visiting Batley, Sheffield, Skolars and Dewsbury, The lack of any real meaningfull atmosphere at home games ( with the possible exception of Leigh ) means that it will be nice to get back into a league with a bit of noise at the games. Pretty much all i do right now is look out for the Leigh games and look forward to them through the season for the added spice that away supporters bring. When we are in SL that will happen almost every week.

I also look forward to seeing our new squad as it takes shape.

i was thinking more about those ones who were on the cover of rugby league world a month or two ago. meeeeow.

They were the wigan cheerleaders pal. I'm mates with a couple of them lot.

then your my new best friend

the red head is particularly pleasing.
being more serious, im looking forward to being at more televised games so i dont have to listen to stevo suggest 'something different like a chip over the top' as often.
also the derbies. Leigh are a fine club, but its not really the same. warrington and saints are what i look forward to.

Don't rub it in mate

, your gaining some good derbies, we are losing our only one. Unless Swinton or Oldham have a good year AND sort out their stadium situations we will be playing in the bloody Yorkshire League next year! Especially if Wakey come down as expected

Things you lot should realistically be looking forward to :

- The Wooden Spoon.
- Filling your overseas quota with OAP Aussies looking for a desperate club to sign them to top up their pensions.
- Signing most of Wakefields very average squad when they lose their license.
- Losing most of your games.
- Drawing a Championship side in the CC that have a decent standard of rugby ie, Halifax or Leigh, and getting beat.

Welcome to the big league. Can't wait to take 6 points off you !

you never know. a few years from now you could have us and wigan to look forward too

Im certainly looking forward to the delights wigan has to offer

riiiight. so who will we be playing three times then? what with two points for a win.
you will be hard pressed to darken the mood around here today, no matter how much pointlessly aggressive, jizztastic, bile you ejaculate.

And thus is the Widnes – Dire rivalry rekindled.



See you next year big boy. Give us a couple of seasons and we'll be handing you your s on a plate again!

Bite.

Based on the current format you'll play 2 or 3 teams three times. Try and keep up now.

i know that. it still does not mean you will have six points to 'take' from us.
do try to read my posts accurately now.

Love it. Based on what I've seen of your team I'm going to stick my neck out here and predict it might take you a bit longer than a couple of seasons to even compete with us. You may have a good go at the likes of Salford, Crusaders etc but don't expect much more.

We already go to France.

A decent following of away fans and the big match nerves before a game.

It really does. Anything less than 6 points against a struggling Championship club trying to play in the big league simply wouldn't do.

You do realise that this team will not be the team you face don't you?

I will admit that the Wire are looking very strong these days, and your time may be approaching, but do not write us off so easily.

looking forward to the Wire v Widnes banter returning, we've got more too say now.

I used to live in Gloucester

You have my deepest sympathies.

Will you guys be spending at full cap ?

According to Steve O'Connor, yes.
