I am quite sceptical about this. They managed to eek over the 2500 target by 9 people. Coincidence? Not when I've read about people saying they were going to announce it as that before the game happened.

Interesting to see the match photos.

Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back!

Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY!

It will make no difference at all. I wouldn't worry about it.

They certainly have. One fan mentioned that the crowd was going to be announced 4 and a half thousand before the match come what may.

Haighy was told they were going to announce it as 4.5K but the didn't announce anything so they may have chickened out.


I think it has since been deleted as I was compiling this reply. I was thinking of leaving it so was mulling it over and saw that they have removed the comment. I honestly don't know how to feel about this. If they've cheated, they stand to benefit at our expense, but they're only really cheating the rfl and I still don't think they're anywhere near us.

Another suggestion made was the fans were counted back in during a fire drill, essentially they attended the same match twice. I suspect it will all come out in the wash. If they have cheated, the RFL will certainly hold it against them more than not meeting the criteria in the first place.

Re: Attendance Criteria : Sun Aug 15, 2010 7:23 pm  
The 2500 is laughable. Most relegated clubs in SL would struggle in non promotion league.

Crusaders and Harlequins can't get this now !! :lol: :lol:

Good luck in SL Widnes. I really hope it doesn't kill your great club ! :(

Rather damming quote that mate.. They do have a habit of shooting themselves in the foot. I'd be interested to learn what their next biggest gate was against Championship opposition this year?

No probs just found the figures on this very board including a beautiful graph....
http://championshipstats.rlfans.com/Tea ... index.html

phewwweeeeeeee what a spike on the final day of the season and without anything in the way of a ticket offer from looking at their official website.

Last biggest crowd was just over 3,000 against Leigh and now they are trying to make out that they got almost 2,000 more fans against a team that brings nothing in the way of away fans. You would have thought that they would have made it look a little more believable.. a few hundred here and few hundred there...

Dont be too harsh lads,

Wakey
Cas
Salford
St Helens
Bradford

All told bigger lies to RFL and some have even kept it up for three years

All this has done has got everyone talking about whether someone has told a white lie about a crowd - is that really where we want to see our "sport" going? The whole thing is ridiculous, you know it is, we know it is. Even though you guys rightly have one leg in the super league bed, you must admit something has to be done.

If it werent all true and created by the very people paid vast amounts to protect the games future and all those playing it, it would be laughable.

Conquer by divide lads, and its working
