Surely a case of false advertising at the very least?

Don't forget Vikingman made a similar promise before we beat you at your place last season!

I think he was trying to take the out of Vinty Karalius (the then Widnes coach) who actually did jump off the bridge – all be it the railway bridge rather than the Silver Jubilee Bridge.

It backfired disastrously on him.

Ha!

me and a mate did it back in one cider fuelled mad summer when the days were golden and lasted for ever.....aahhhhhh those were the days


into the ship canal mind, only a real nutcase jumps of it into the bloody river.

Really!!!



You jumped off the bridge?

WOW!!!

Nutcase!!!

i had much less regard for my own safety in my teenage years. and we were all smashed and i couldnt be the only one not to do it. it still feels like your hitting ground from that height.

I [ibet[/i it ing does.

It's a popular misconception that Alex Murphy threatened to jump off the bridge if Widnes won the cup at Wembley in 1975 against his Warrington team.He actually made the statement in 1976 prior to the final against Saints,which we lost.

Yes he is and I think I know who.

He has started a similarly stupid thread on the Warrington board in (another) pathetic attempt to put Warrington fans in a bad light.

I remember a story of Vince Karalius having done it and on asking my wife's grandmother it transpired that it used to be a fairly common thing to do.. But I was never sure which bridge it was that they were talking about. Whether there was someway to climb on the transporter somewhere and whether there was a lower point?

Either way... it seemed like madness to me.

the gantry type thing on the side of the railway bridge, which is now full of pipes, cables etc used to be a walkway. the stairs leading up to it are still there when you come off the bridge (going into widnes)

Christ.... as the Spanish would say (with a bit of english first)... you my friend have big cojones!!!

The Transporter went about 8 feet over the canal wall and the jumpers actually dropped off the transporter into the ship canal. They used to pay the penny to get on the transporter bridge and then climb over the side as it got near the wall and then drop in.

Daft, but they still did it!

wirewonder is NOT a warrington fan.

2 wins for all the other teams.

Haven't you got a cup final to be presiding for tonight?

Even so at least were there next year

I'm a bigger Wire fan than you'll ever be sunshine. I don't take any s**t off Wigan,Saints and Widnes fans. Unlike you who sucks up to them.

We'll bring an annoying little drummer with us.

That’s not my recollection of it, and I went to that Widnes v Wire final in 75. I can tell you now that he definitely said it prior to that game and not the Saints game. He may have said it again for the Saints game, but he did it first in 75. I remember all the banter going around at the time over Murphy’s boast, including before and after the match.

that may be so, but he definately IS a blert of premature sex wee, with all the intellectual capacity and maturity of a lobotomised 4 year old, stuck in some outdated infantile parochial mindset.
wirewonder your a relic mate, and i pity you.
i also find you small and unimpressive. much like your opinions and much as im sure most women find your penis.

Up the Chemics

I imagine Headingley 07 seems a long time ago, doesn't it?

All the best and see you at Cas (unless we get the boot) next season.

Cheers mate. Aside from one or two cas fans I'd like to see react to a relegation you seem like a good lot and I look forward to visiting once again in 2011.

More fans than any other club that may have been promoted to SL.

More fans than both the Welsh & Quinns have ever had in SL.

More away fans than both of the above, Wakey & Salfraud will ever take to a game.

Bigger gates at our derbies than any of the above etc etc.

Which when all said & done is what our sport needs, more people watching!

We will be no different on the field than the SL side that makes way for us for the first 2 years, nor would any other team, but maybe by the 3rd year we can be in the top 8.

It is time someone else got a chance, what is there to lose?

Made up it is my club but the RFL chose us because we can we can make the biggest impact at present.

I also feel very sorry for the club that makes way for us, we have been in the wilderness for to long & they are gonna be there also.

What he said

and good luck against Hull at the weekend
