Why are people who should know better allowing Albert to derail this thread with his franchise/merger trolling?

Albert... cheers for the giggles!

Hope you don't cry too much, looks like Barcelona Broncos will have to wait a bit longer

Wakefield’s Junior set up is better than Warrington’s and Widnes put together so no problems there.

No it isn’t.

Being close to Cas is actually a positive as it gives us a proper derby game, unlike the fabricated Cheshire derby that Wire and Chemics pretend to have.

Our support has grown by around 90% in the last five years and we averaged over 7,000

Widnes nearly got that 4 seasons ago. If we were still in SL, with the steady growth we had then, we’d probably have been at, or near, the 10,000 mark by now. We out did Wakefield’s attendances every year we were in SL.

2005
Widnes 6794

Wakey 5100

I can’t understand why you’re slagging Widnes off?

WTF have we got to do with the poop AP talks?


Good luck with your stadium by the way.

Wakefield is history.

That overweight, pompus loud mouth Sir Rodney Walker talks the talk, but rarely walks the walk. He walks the waddle to be precise. Look at the mess he left the RFL in when he departed. He is good at looking after himself, with membership of boards and titles and the money that comes with those perks. But he shares responsibility for the multi million pound loss that rugby league suffered in the 2000 World Cup. It took the RFL years to get back in the black after he left. And you Wakey fans put your faith in this man's promises of a gleaming new stadium?

why don't you go merge yourself?

Johnny, as a Leyther you have been chastened by your experience of the might of Toulouse yesterday. So you can see the sense in my proposals.

This especially applies to the perpetually booing Warrington fans that came in a taxi.

Nothing fabricated about it at all,both Widnes and Warrington are in Cheshire.
You really don't want to bandy words here about the size of Warrington's following.They have packed out many an away end during the SL era,and before SL.On some occasions the volume of that support has been bigger than Wakefield home crowds.
