sidnee Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Theres numerous jokes just waiting to come out for this thread (tv, dog etc) but I don't think any will be funnier than the original post Have you not seen the Widnes forum over the last 2 years........ its in the bag!

LOWFIELD Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 does anyone know the date the next set of licences will be announced! I need to put some writing on a wall!!! Could be wrong but sure i read somewhere that the team from the championship that gets the nod will be announced early next season. The team that gets the boot will be announced at the end of next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 It isn't going to be one of us mere mortals. I'm not even that convinced that it will be Widnes. Super League aint all it's cracked up to be anyroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Mullaney Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 My cynical mind tells me that it was announced to Widnes when chairman, Steve O'Connor requested a meeting about three weeks after the first set of licences were revealed. It was a bit like the meeting which Cas had with the RFL after they'd been relegated through Wigan's cheating of the salary cap. Everything went quiet, Terry Matterson immediately signed a 2 year extension even before they'd reached the GF, despite previously taking an age to decide whether the NL was good enough for him when Cas went down. Steve O'Connor has twice assured Widnes fans that their team will be in SL this time around. He wouldn't be stupid enough to do that if he hadn't been given a nodand a wink. So Robin get writing on that wall. The team going up starts with a W and is a cert. I hope and pray that the team coming down begins with the same letter.

Leyther_Matt Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I hope Wakefield stay up, to be honest. We get on well with their lot after we played them in the cup last year but it's hardly a good day out going there. If Widnes are the ones going up then it means our local derby will be Halifax!

Robin Evans Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 There's been rumblings in the game from the odd person I know at different clubs have posed convincing arguments to that effect. In addition, look at the length of contracts wakey are offering. Look at the type and quality of player they are signing for next year and for how long!! Now It's well rumoured that they are on their @rse financially, tho I add, this is just rumour and I have no intention validating this on here (tho I may do personally) , and that maybe a reason. But I'm suggesting that all things point to a championship future for wakey, and I reckon their BoD knows it! Just my observations n'all that Terry!! - tells ya - wakey a cert!

LOWFIELD Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Conversely likewise Dave, if that makes sense. perfect lol Always fascinated me the fact that people living your neck of the woods dislike another team more than Cas, i have spoke to many people over the years who live around there and they all dislike Wakey more.

Andrew Vause Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I'm sorry folks, but you heard it here (Just like Powell and Sheridan being the new coaches 2 years ago). If you think any of the current frachise holders are going to lose theirs, think again, from what I have heard it will be an augmentation of the SL rather than a straight swap! a bigger SL in 2 years time without any current drop outs. For what it is worth a team where Everton reserves play their home games and a team with a nuclear power station will be the augmentees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Vause Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) Anotrher problem if/when Super League expands, the overlords could spread each round over four days, this would mean kiss my stinky ass to Sky NL1 games on a Thursday, in preference to a sort of "foreplay" Sl game of the round for the "w*****s" on the Thursday night, or more professionally put the lesser teams such as Sal...whoops or Tol...whoops or Wak...whoops or as you say "Sidmiester" Donny v Workington this would then bring in extra income to the afore said "untermenscher" of the SL, thus keeping them nicely afloat. But as my mar used to say in her positive times, (usually when I'd said to her that I'd f****d up yet another exam) "I'm sure that everything will be alright". well, maybe eh? Got to log off now, as I'm revising another resit. Edited July 7, 2010 by Andrew Vause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMS Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Every time this subject comes up i say a little prayer "please let it be Wakefield". I well remember when they went into SL, the championship clubs gave them god knows how many hundred thousand pounds because they were not due any SL money. The first thing they did was vote against P+R. They have also conned the whole of RL with their blatherings about their "new ground". It's about time the RL heirarchy said enough is enough and KICKED them out. Widnes are nailed on to go up and bl00dy good riddance to them.
