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.

Don't know how the thread came on to away supporters, but never have Warrington brought more than the home fans. Sometimes your worse than KR for making things up

Never said that.I meant Warrngton have had followings of around 4-5000,sometimes in Yorkshire,(Leeds,Bradford)figures which were greater than some Trinity home games of the same seasons.

4-5k I would believe that when I see it, all I can say is you have never brought that to BV.


Awaits the poop ground etc etc for the reason why!

Please please give over my sides are splitting. When have you ever brought more away support than home support to Wakey? Come on name the game.

It's great news for the club whatever way you look at it. A plan is better than no plan at all and I can't think of many people from the area better backed and qualified to head it up than SRW.

If it comes off, he should be knighted again.

Also i'll just add to AP that its amazing how smug and superior Wires have got since the HJ came about. Good set of fans usually, but they are becoming more KR like every day.

Wigan and Saints have always brought far more fans to BV than Warrington!!

It's no more stupid or deluded than what was written by 'The Clan':

The Clan wrote:

Wakefield’s Junior set up is better than Warrington’s and Widnes put together

I’m not denying that Wakefield have a good academy that is bringing through young talent to SL, but Widnes’ academies have also been doing this. There are 6 players currently placed in various SL squads that have come through our academies and we have 7 of our own youngsters in our own current squad. The RFL have deemed our accademy system as 'World Class'
Also:

Continued investment in youth structures including appointment of Stuart Wilkinson and the development of a pathway course with Edge Hill University
Continued development of youngsters that has seen former stars Richie Myler and Adam Sidlow progress. Current team includes 6 club developed youngsters including Paddy Flynn (currently being monitored by Saints)

This is being achieved while in the lower leagues. As a SL club we could achieve much more and tap into areas around us, where no direct competition exists for support and young talent.

The Clan wrote:

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.

The Widnes v Wire has been a derby game since the game was invented, whether it be as Lancashire or Cheshire. This alone makes it a more genuine RL derby than Wakey v Cas could ever be, since Castleford weren’t even around when our derby was created. It has been a substantially larger event over the years, and that has only changed because of our relegation and subsequent sojourn in the lower leagues.

The Clan wrote:

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

Like I said, we got that four seasons ago, when in SL with a team near the bottom on the league.


I’m not having a go at Wakey here, but trying to address the blind ignorance of ‘The Clan’s’ desperate scraping of the barrel, trying to find positives where they just don’t exist.
