WIDNES ARE CHEATS!! : Mon Sep 06, 2010 9:22 pm  

Cant believe some of the utter rubbish coming from some of the barrow clowns yesterday and idiots from other clubs coming on this board saying we will offer nothing to superleague. Idiots yesterday at the game saying that we have cheated ouy way into Superleague (didnt know we were a superleague club) and that the RFL are looking after us.

So what exactly do Barrow offer that we dont;

A hell hole stadium with no running water in the bogs behind the sticks - Lovely that.
No youth set up
A poor fan base
A mouthy chairman that wont even put his hands in his pockets to update the floodlights.

I suppose this is what Franchising has caused. Rightly or wrongly what happens on the pitch is a distant 2nd. Do we deserve to be in SL for what happens on the pitch, no way, do we deserve it for what goes on off it, hell yes. We are the only club in the championship who meet all the criteria, thats not Widnes's fault, these are the rules that have been set and thats a fact.

Don't worry about them lot! The other week when we one there was a guy saying to me were only good as we are so close to Wigan & Saints they give us all their youngsters... Needless to say we had 0 loan players in the squad that day!

Look, I feel this issue needs to be put to bed once for all, or atleast the slight fued developing between small pockets of widnes and barrow supporters. I am fully commited Barrow fan and was at Craven Park last night. Firstly I would like to commend the Vikings on such a great lively and vocal away crowd they brought through to Cumbria; they contributed to a great atmosphere.

These "Barrow clowns" you refer to are a minority and a rarity, I can assure you. I know for a fact that your club is in a much better positition to apply for SL next year than we are, as do the vast majority of our fans. I am also aware that our facilities, both internally and externally do not meet the level of facilities that you are available to at the Widnes ground... you speak with such an alarm it puts me under the assumption that you believe this news to the fans of Barrow Raiders.

Perhaps this post has been stimulated by the dissapointing nature of your teams performance last night? I personally I enjoyed the match simply because of the performance, there was no malice or melicious feelings towards your club due to the obviously more advanced position you are in regarding the franchise system.

I wish you luck next season, at whatever level you shall be playing your rugby league.

ALSO SENSITIVE & PARANOID.....!

Some of your fellow fans seem to think you are SL there's a thread titled such.
Question for you do you go to watch your team or are you there because you have a better ground & like to brag about it?
Let's be honest playing wise you're not really up to much .

Thanks Fekafan,

I believe the majority of fans from all clubs recognise that Widnes are guilty of nothing more than finding out what criteria the Rugby League require to be fulfilled to qualify for Super League and fulfilling them.

I think a voluble minority are coming on here to try to upset Widnes fans out of

A) Ignorance and or

B) Resentment.

We didn't make the rules, we just worked to them, that's smart business.

We don't know for certain that we are in Super League, I won't believe it until it is formally announced.

No worries mate, I'm not saying that all Barrow fans are like that, here at Widnes we have some idiots too. These people at the match I am referring to were not kids but grown men and women, maybe it was a bit of resentment to the percieved position were in. Although I feel we are front runners for a franchise, the majority of fans know all too well how the rl operate, the last team they will do any favours for are Widnes.

Its fine, personally I hope and expect Widnes to be promoted to Super League next season. There is no doubts that you are in a better position that any other club and are ready to compete at the top flight once more.

I just dont want supporters of other clubs to begin to believe all Barrow fans are all arrogant, loudmouth clowns who believe we should be in SL and nobody else.. that isnt the case whatsoever. Unfortunately some of these 'clowns' were in attendence last night, I apologise!

It was a pleasure to have you down CP.

There's more to Widnes than a nice ground you know.

Sooner we get back to promotion & relegation the better.
I know there is more to widnes than a decent ground.just as we know ours is nowhere near. If you don't like it don't go there it's simple really.
