Snap - it appears all Widnes fans are in the same boat at the minute. I've been a few away games, but can't be bothered with a lot of them. Going to Leigh on Thursday, but can't say I'm looking forward to it at all. Maybe its just a case of riding it out and seing how we go until the end of the season, but you get the feeling that a lot of fans won't be fans for much longer. As you say, this was Widnes's big opportunity to dominate - 2 of the strongest clubs in the division from last year gone, no SL team coming down and still we haven't beaten anyone in the top 6 yet.
Its a good job the licence system has come really just think what sort of position we would be in if we would have had the same system as previous years:
1 Castleford (would have been relegated from SL)
2 Celtic (wouldn't have gone up)
3 Halifax
4 Barrow
5 Featherstone
6 Whitehaven
7 Leigh
8 Widnes
9 Sheffield
10 Gateshead
We'd have been one place above relegation. Not saying we won't finish above Leigh or Whitehaven, but considering they have both beaten us already this year, we can hardly claim to be better than them.
