We will have a full youth set up



We have a stadium in place



We also have a nationallly know sponsor (who isnt invovled with the club as SOC and stobbarts are involved)



And as for the last thing...i bet you couldnt see Celtic or Salford being picked before Widnes.....but they did.

Just being realistic.





Too little too late imo. We are all being judged over a 3 year period. We will have had everything in place for that whole period.





We get bigger crowds than you in the Championship and would do son in SL. We are not entirely dependent on one man. However all the top SL have one. If you don't, you mat struggle.





We will do that better than any club in this league imo.



I also cannot see the RFL adding another Yorkshire club.

Thats the only thing that could ring true.



You do get better crowds then us...but they are dropping..what was your last crowd?

totally agree with this. pepe by the time we need it we will have all the things that you have. the stadium will be finished by the end of the year and we will have a stadium fit for purpose. the attendances have been steadily going up over the year. although the announcer said there was only 2,100 there for the previous match that was wrong i believe there was at least 2,500 there i believe.



we will have a youth set up and the way things are going at the moment we are going more successful than you which is also one of the criteria.



the way i see it we have just as good a chance as you.

I think most people knew they'd be picked, due to the location and expansion pipe dream.



You do not have that advantage. In fact, quite the reverse.

Advantage of what?

If we win nothing, maybe. Then again Toulouse will probably see us both off anyway.

we are being judged over a 3 year period which means that your success in winning something this season may also be looked at. i know you have a chance to win things this year but if you get knocked out of the rail cup by us then surely that will be taken into account that you may not appear in any final this year.

that point i can fully agree with. although i beleive that by the end of this season both widnes and halifax will have grounds of a higher standard than super league teams anyway. although i dont think any super league teams will get the axe from super league.

Unfortunately, you seem to be counting chickens here. We may not win anything this season, but we will have another year to put that right. Oh and don't put it past the RFL to move the goal posts if they want a particular club in at all costs.

That could be your major problem. SL is already Yorkshire dominated. I can't see them adding another unless one is kicked out.

I think people will be more suprised if they dont do this than if they do!



If they dont change then it may be a case of Wakefield and Salford dropping down with potentialy Fax and Widnes going the other way along with Toulouse.
