SHOCK !!
Ronnie in Premiership football praise scandal !!!

Only joking mate! The Premiership is for kids who don't come from football towns but who feel the need for a bandwagon to jump on.
See you at Halton Sports next season when we can cheer on our local team!

Went to watch Tranmere last night mate. Decent enough game. Nice to see Richie Partridge and Luke Chadwick finally playing at a honest level.
Looking forward to 2010/11 though. I hope it goes well for The Linnets.

So are we not allowed an opinion on this shambles just because we are Widnes fans?Supporters of other clubs have their two pennorth so why should we take a back seat just because some idiots suspect us of bitterness and wallowing in their misery?

Because we are apparently the ones who lost out to Celtic's vastly superior bid, therefore anything we say must be anti-expansion and anti-CC as we're supposedly all still harbouring a lot of bitterness over the decisions.

Personally, I'm not bitter about it. It was inevitable.

This isnt about CC though its about the fools making a mockery of our great sport. Sack em all, after a public birching.

Fook em.If any Widnes fan wants to air their view on this topic then they are quite entitled to do so,just as fans of any other club are.

Aye but for many, they have their own agenda.. It's still done the game no credibility.. Phil Clarke I think spoke for many people on Boots and All tonight though.

They should be thrown out and the winners of the Championship promoted

Certainley did , hit the nail square on the head

A total lack of respect for the RFL by clubs , officials and fans of the clubs that played Celtic in the 3 previous years to 2009

All have been affected in some way , mostly negatively
