FFS stop bitching about franchises on SL club boards.





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.

Agreed.



I personally can't believe that in the best week we've had in a long time, the focus of conversation has been on a mediocre tin pot Welsh team rather than our up and coming cup final and day out to Blackpool..



All talk of franchise bull and artificial teams full of aussies should end here.



Blackpool here we come!

I find it embarrasssing too,some of the stuff posted on other forums by Widnes fans but people are free to post whatever they wish within reason and anyone with a modicum of common sense would just ignore such piffle and not tar all Widnes fans with the same brush.

WELL SAID THAT MAN

Agreed it's embarrasing

It gives ammo to all the wrong people.



They don't care, they never will, so leave them be.

You're all as bad as each other. Moan moan moan. Pack it in all of you. Think yourself lucky you're playing in a league with the best goddamn team in the land. The mighty mighty Fax !!!

typo corrected.............................

and if someone compliments a supposed expasion club then you can't wait to have a go at them can you pepe????????????????????????????????

I think it is fair to say that most Wire, Wigan and Saints fans were supportive of Widnes in the franchise process, and certainly want you to be in there in 2012, but people like Soldierboy will only create bad feeling towards your club and fans.



When he goes on posting that the RFL are bailing a club out, when in fact they are providing support to a club, which they have done a fair few times with other clubs (SL and Championship) it just looks like a bitter paranoid fan.



Without sounding patronising, I think most people have been impressed with Widnes the way they have gone about things since they were left out. You haven't gone down Leigh's route, being bitter and not supporting your club and that is to your credit.



Just because people belive in expansion doesn;t mean that they don;t support the traditional clubs, and IMO you should have had Salford's spot, and moving forwards, you are putting yourself above a couple of teams already in SL.

Really, where?

remember the thread pep? where you berated me and said i was sucking up to quins because i admired them????????????? no.......................well i do.
