WTF? Put the bottle down lad! Widnes do have a proud history, but so do Warrington. I'd like to think that being the only RL team to have maintained top flight status throughout their history is rather special.

Or highlights their lack of success over those years as a comparison to others

Maybe Widnes should use that as an oppertunity then. Offer 3 free saints games with a Widnes season ticket. They are playing at your stadium afterall.

So as well as attending all the Widnes home games you could also go to the saints games against Wire, Wigan and Leeds. Thats a fantastic offer and would get a few more buying season tickets.

That wont happen as those 3 games will sell out

I wouldn't bank on that though. A few Saints fans I know have said they won't be attending all games while they play at Widnes and as such haven't purchased season tix.

Granted these games are the most likely to sell out but it would still mean in the region of 9-10,000 Saints fans having to 'travel' for their home games.

Before you get into SL you want to get someone to answer the phones on a matchday.

there are a few glory hunters around who will support saints. there's proper support in widnes. a proper rl town with a history
that goes beyond most (including wire unfortunately). i'm really looking forward to you getting back into sl. it's a disgrace
that you weren't there in the first place.

How does the widnes history go beyond warrington when warrington have won more trophies throughout history than widnes? Compare the honours from both clubs official website honours list. 3 Championships each,7 challenge cups each,and overall warrington have won 39 trophies to 35 by widnes. Also as serge le forge says,the being the only team in the whole history of RL to have played every season in the top flight is something to be proud of!

Go on each clubs website mate and total up the trophies,you are behind the wire! Yep,well done on winning the WCC,I hope you will congratulate us when we win it,which probably isn't to far off now I just hope winning it doesn't lead us into the sort of turmoil that winning it led widnes into,although i'm sure it won't.
