The fans tonight showed that they can rise above abuse and derision. Firstly over 5,500 fans there, the Beeb were so disappointed, they hoped the crowd would be minimal. The supporters cheered and chanted non stop, and the boys on the pirtch gave everything no dropping of heads. At the end the crowd stood and cheered both sides non stop. What does a score matter when you get such an atmosphere. The Leeds players got a shock running on to the pitch to home supporters cheering, but it was for the exiled 6 who have given great service to the club. Celtic came of age tonight, and I cannot remember such support for a team who are supposed to be a 'disgrace'. It is about time abusive so called fans stopped having a go at the Celtic

I think you'll find that people have issue with the RL and their one eyed approach to expansion at all costs. Celtic have clearly demonstrated what happens when you shoe horn a RL team into a Union stronghold and get them to Super League in the space of 3 seasons come hell or high water.

I think people are quite rightly angered when you look at the way this season has panned out. The fans of CC, the club itself and the game do not need this sort of bad press and poor judgement. The decision to admit CC to SL 2009 was wrong. It is now plain for all to see.

Had you developed over time before being awarded a license, you may have ended your first season with more credibility. As it happens the whole process was a shambles and you are the ones suffering the most.

would be interesting to see how many actually paid to get in!!

of the 5500, how many would you say were leeds fans?

What on earth that all about?

Dont be proud mate be gutted that you showed 5000 fans how bad you are no way did more than 1500 hundred celtic fans pay full price to get in id say it was a fiver a ticket to any 1 in newport who wanted to watch the game or even given out free.if that be the case you will be getting into debt every week.i might be wrong not lol.i just wish it had been on tv but i have a laugh every week when i get results .i am not having a go at the fans even though it might seem like that.but you know your admin cheated and bent rules to get in super l i mean did u see clarky on boots and all class.you will go down only a matter of time.ps have a look to your left at that little pic o champions of the world still makes me shudder after 20 years we will be back.the mighty chemics

Widnes.... 20 years and many more of NON achievement!

Congratulations on your 1st season and last nights result

Vikings and yet you're STILL not in superleague.

Snot, yeah, thanks for your warm welcome into the superleague family. Your kindness and generosity of spirit has made our first year an absolute pleasure.

I have spent the best part of a year asking our Cardiff City following fans to lay off the anti-English chants. And with your welcoming encuraging nature, no doubt your plans to expand the game beyond a small industrial wasteland around the M62 is bound to succeed.

At least we have the opportunity to get beaten by the likes of Leeds.





Why is it that when something is posted on here with nothing whatsoever to do with Widnes you lot feel the need to comment on it. It mystifies me.

I was simply congratulating you, lovely bunch arn't you......

Not as good as you lot on here though.

A lot of other fans are seeing you for what you lot are though so it's all good by me.

SNOT

And where have I reponded with anything other than warmth to you? Can't take a compliment eh?

RL is slowly expanding beyond the wasteland and one day, if you try harder with your franchise applications, you might even get to enter the top flight.

And when you do (so long as I am still alive then) I'll give you the same encouragment you have given us.

all celtics achivements have been made illegaly

Let's not go down that route eh!

The move to Newport could well be the 're-birth' of Cru (already yes) new name , badge etc etc. IMO I don't think that you'll ever return to Bridgend, but now competing with a top flight Union side... Can Celtic succeed where Quins have failed?

If thinks don't take an up turn next year, there will certainly be a bit more lynching tbh! (Mabe unfortunate, but true!).

Excellent effort Crusaders - Widnes fans banged on and on last season at their 6,000plus against Salford but that was a freebie night so even if tickets were given away last night - still an excellent effort.

Good to see so many Flatcappers congratulate your club in the Hour of Need.

Well done from this Salford fan and hope you will fill the team with more Welshmen next season.

free tickets match and match against top of the league= 5500?

i dread to think of a full priced match against quins attendance

A legendary RL club who deserve an SL place.

a legend in your own lunchhour! If you deserved a spot you would have got it but you don't And didn't! Us celts may have questions to answer but not to you pipe down and f*** off to your grot hole forgotten town and cry in your cheap bitter! (pun intended)

it's done you can't change it if it's that much of an issue do us all a favour and slit your wrists you whining scumbag

I'm actually a Rovers fan.



Hopefully everything will work out in time anyway.

You'll actualy fined the majority of posts about (having go @) Cru lately are NOT by Widnes fans! It's just where the only ones you feel can reply to as use the 'bitter' line!

Jeeez your becomming more obsessed then we are

What and win the challenge cup when reaching the final, or winning the grand final when making the playoffs or more simply existing as a top flight team throughout the SL era. You could have used Hudds, Wakey, Cas, Salford as examples(although few if any of them have achieved all of that like the London RL teams) but chose to use Quins -hmm interesting choice.

I would be interested to see what the benchmark is for [ifailed[/i

1- talking about move to the stoop as that relates to the Newport move, so you can delete 90% of your blabble!

2 - Mean off the field... lowest attendance in the league etc? Went down with the move, but can Celtic make the move work and get the big increaes they need to make money!

interesting I don't actually seem to recall mentioning widness at all?
