That was me showing you up for being a two faced hypocrite. It was you who has been slagging London and other expansion clubs off, and have been doing so for years.


And now there is a massive about face. Except you also have this in your sig:

I think it is fair to say that most Wire, Wigan and Saints fans were supportive of Widnes in the franchise process, and certainly want you to be in there in 2012, but people like Soldierboy will only create bad feeling towards your club and fans.

When he goes on posting that the RFL are bailing a club out, when in fact they are providing support to a club, which they have done a fair few times with other clubs (SL and Championship) it just looks like a bitter paranoid fan.

To most people who can read, the RFL have only stated that they are sending a task force to help find investors and marketing the club. That doesn’t mean they will not get financial help. That help, if it comes, should be in the form of a significant reduction in the TV money given to other SL clubs, to fund CC and keep them going for the next 2 years.

Without sounding patronising, I think most people have been impressed with Widnes the way they have gone about things since they were left out. You haven't gone down Leigh's route, being bitter and not supporting your club and that is to your credit.

Just because people belive in expansion doesn;t mean that they don;t support the traditional clubs, and IMO you should have had Salford's spot, and moving forwards, you are putting yourself above a couple of teams already in SL.

Without wishing to sound too boastful, we’ve been above a few SL clubs for several years. With Steve O’Connor at the helm, we are even stronger.

We were turned down for a licence entirely for financial history, despite SOC giving a half-a-million pounds, up front, guarantee. Here we are less than a year on and thriving, while CC are in a financial crisis. Doesn’t say much for the RFL and it’s ‘criteria’ does it?

It’s a bit difficult to have any faith whatsoever in the RFL using that ‘criteria’ to pick the strongest bids, and not just put every emphasis on expansion. I have every reason to be concerned that Widnes will never receive a licence as a result.

FWIW I hoipe Cetlic pull through.

But, when all's said and done, this is only the internet and that bad feeling only exists in the minds of a few dozen clueless tossers on rlfans.

It's not as if he's doing any damage in the real world.

Nah, that was an example of the bitterness I refer to.

FWIW, I don't have any issues with Leigh fans, certainly not on this board, I have no issue with disagreeing with people, it doesn't mean I am right, and doesn't mean they/you are right.

My comments about Leigh were based on the fact that their fans just haven't embraced the new stadium, and generally put it down to lack of promotion available (I am referring to people on Totalrl.com here btw), when clubs like Widnes haven;t allowed this to drag their club down. Plenty of clubs this year have attracted some very good crowds, and look to be moving in the right direction, Leigh are going the other way.
