Let me spell the situation out for you so that you understand why I say this. The majority of those clubs are so far up themselves, they couldn't give a shiny sh/te about Widnes or the lower leagues. A few may have sympathy, but the rest will treat you, and perversely other Widnes fans, as a figure of fun to be pointed at and laughed at. Whinging on those boards will change nothing and only serve to make us look small-time.
They love the RFL
They love the idea of a wounderful trip around the country every week.
They love expansion, because it won't affect their club in any way.
They will regard you and all Widnes fans as pathetic and bitter individuals.
F*ck 'em and leave them be.
Pepe I must say that's the most sensible thing I've seen on these boards, I only wish that Crusaders fans stopped winding people up to and from now on I'll be querying every post I see on the Crusaders board designed to wind Widnes fans up, a very small action granted, but one I hope that will show we're not all clowns. The majority of both sets of fans will never see eye to eye on what happened but at the same time they're grown up enough to move on.
Best of luck for Sunday and I truly mean that.
