All 2011 season ticket holders will be eligible to renew their season ticket for the 2012 Super League season at the standard ticket price.

This offer represents outstanding value for money, as there are a guaranteed three more home league fixtures in a Super League season, a competition where season ticket and admission prices would typically involve a price increase.

I don't think there's any doubt they'll be there, although not entirely sure they should be promoting it prior to any official announcement

Bit of a liberty though!!

They should be cautious with what they say here. Couldn't this be used in court if one of the SL clubs gets kicked out? That the franchise decision was decided and released to certain clubs? Or is this just a case of Widnes being arrogant and counting their chickens before they've hatched?

Why on earth would this be used in court? You know someone is coming up. You know someone is going down. The first part is irrelevant to anyone ensuring they are not the team mentioned in the second. Widnes are not your competitors. It is absolutely right that someone automatically comes up in 2012, it is vital to the already dwindling health of the championship. Whether its us, Leigh or Fax is irrelevant though. Your competitors are wakefield and salford.

Agree entirely. Not withstanding the fact that in applying for a franchise, you waive your right to contesting the decision

Did Widnes make this change by themselves?

Or did they get some 'Assistance' making the decision?
