Hurrah
I'm the 200'th post on this meandering topic.
So I'll sum up the previous 198 replies to save you all the trouble :-

No. we haven't built our stadium yet!

If/when *( delete as required ) we do get it built it may look sod all like the fancy Architects impression , in fact it may look as bad as Wigans'.

We may not be able to look out from the Jacuzzi in the plush main stand Hotel because that isn't going to exist either..

Sale, Man U Youth, Irlam Hornets ,Harlem Globetrotters may / may not be ground sharing with us, depending on your point of view or what your mate down the pub told you.

It's generally agreed all the Grass has grown back on site and we've dug up all the cavemen.

Lots of fans from other clubs posting ( mainly from NL1 Franchise clubs unsuccessful in their application for SL ) are 'suspicious ' .. and have expressed that suspicion in prosaic / predictable fashion . and some of our fans have taken the bait ..

Peel / Trafford Centre are a big concern and it's evident we are now ' even more' dancing to their tune.

Salford / Manchester / Lancashire La La La


There you go see you at the 300th

Aye if you say so

What you do have is a team playing in SL

Erm...which means it's a SuperLeague team. In the event that Salford are relegated, in 3 years time, then you can give it the big one about their team not being SuperLeague and do this a lot. In the interim you're going to have to accept that Salford are a SuperLeague club, with a SuperLeague team and Leigh are not and that the LSV is a National League stadium. You should probably also remember that Leigh played one season in the top flight in the last couple of decade or so and were a complete, and utter, joke and frankly an embarrassment to the competition.

I should also say at this point that I'm a Warrington fan. We are also a SuperLeague team and have not played a single second of Rugby (either code) outside the top flight since our inception. In case you were wondering, I do remember our friendly with Leigh last year and I did laugh at your fans reaction to the victory.

Yes we were happy , I remember all your fans telling us how when your new australian imports started to play how you were going to beat saints and Leeds to the title and the Challenge Cup

I remember King being knocked all over the pitch at Hilton Park by a player that started the season at Blackpool

Yes Warrington and Salford will be playing in SL this season

But SUPER league clubs , Yeah Right

I asked a question of the Salford fans claiming that they didn't affiliate themselves with Manchester if they thought thier SL application had included Manchesters population as potential new fans , simple question not trolling or abusive , just an observation

Some took it the wrong way

Too true, and an embarrassment and disappointment to we supporters. Even then though, we managed a bigger average home gate than Salford - which could still be a problem for the Reds - getting the public interested.

What a ridiculous generalisation. I don't know many Warrington fans who were anything other than pessimistic about our season.

Are you suggesting that Warrington and Salford are not SuperLeague clubs? On what basis?

As for not being trolling and abusive - you certainly were trolling by suggesting that Salford was not a SuperLeague team and now you're claiming that there not a SuperLeague club. I was just pointing out what utter bollocks that is, that was all.

Serious point - about getting the public interested, especially without a relegation decider against HKR to attract interest.

And before you say it - yes, we suffer from exactly the same problem, in getting the public interested.
