You seem oblivious to the past two years. You almost went bust, allowed a group of loan players to win you the NRC and now (despite the attendances) rely on a wealthy backer to keep you afloat. If anything, the injustice is that you guys are the front runners for a franchise.

We as a club have gone by the rules of the Rfl,by setting up academys and playing home grown players.If we did not have a youth academy like Fax, we would buy the better players.Such as your experienced players, so we could be near the top of the league.We are one of the biggest clubs in this league and we should be the front runners.

But that's not the conditions we're playing under is it? We can bury our head in the sand and say that's how it should be but it aint gonna get us anywhere. I'll rephrase the question - given the "mazetastic" specifications laid down by the RFL (not the fault of Widnes) - who do you think best fits their bill?

Re: Attendance Criteria : Mon Aug 16, 2010 9:58 am  

As said previously if P&R Widnes side would be completely different but better in long term? I don't think so!

Re: Attendance Criteria : Mon Aug 16, 2010 10:42 am  

right this is how it goes.it doesnt matter what facts and figures are thrown about by each club,the rfl have already picked who is going up and who is coming down.i for one think the franchise system is a load of crap and should be scrapped.just wish march would hurry up and stop all this bullshit.
good luck to whatever teams are left out.

The attendance for Halifax v Batley was 4,795 - FACT!

They've all gone home now so I challenge you lot or the RFL to PROVE the attendance figure was incorrect.

RFL: Please can we see a copy of your gate reciepts.

If you said you had 4,000 kids in it wouldn't no, but on average could work it out! Is it worked out by tickets purchased or turnstile clicks? Hence fire alarm
