When franchising came in I said it would kill the professional game.

It is wrong' it is uncompetative' it encourages complacency.

Crowds are down at ALL Non Relegation clubs since the architect of this cartel engineered this farce and his mouthpiece is the former failed executive of British Tennis.

Any club outside the cartel will ultimately lose their coach if he is any good' their best players' and sadly their fans.

Bring back promotion and relegation your crowds our crowds Barrow's crowds Fax's crowds and every other clubs crowds in this league would benefit.

Ignore the games natural supporters at your peril.It is time for chairmen of clubs outside this cartel to tell Sky some important facts.

Their is a thread on the widnes site about interest in the game.I think interest is being lost, and fans are not going due to no promotion or relegation.I know we are probably in a good postion due to boxes ticked, but i still think it is a rubbish system.If was not for the franchise rules and salary cap, we would not have as many youngsters.If your good enough they will come through like grady,flynn and houghton etc.We have a weaker squad compared to fax,barrow,and fev in hindsight.If they get several injuries they have senior back up players.Bring back promotion/relegation as i am fed up of nothing to play for now,accept stupid boxes.

Never lose interest. You have had it tough but I think the worst is behind you now. I would rather watch wires play(and hopefully beat)widnes than have to go to wales or london. Chin up,keep plodding on,see you in SL soon!

Nice sentiments , lets hope you will be just as sympathetic for the rest of us left outside SL and whoever gets the bullet to make way for the Chemics , the point is not that it is unfair on Widnes , I have no doubt that the vast majority of Widnes fans would prefer to gain a SL place by winning the comp , rather than ' ticking boxes '

Thankyou mate.I would rather promotion and relegation every year and spend what you like.Then we could smash this league, with our money man in charge.
