Thank you for your carefully crafted and incisive comments on our situation, John. Thanks to your superb analysis we now know we are just like any other club, and no really..we just hadn't the brains to work it out. Just fancy that eh, would you Adam n Eve it, bigger crowds when we're doing well and then they drop off when not doing so well, who'd have thought it. Worth a Nobel prize is that. Good luck with your PHD.

Yet after 6 poor seasons, incompetent mismanagement, administration twice, still getting bigger crowds than some SL clubs.

You do the great Widnes fans a disservice! What a ridiculous stupid post!

Recently your post was deleted on another board with this warning:

" A "Widnes fan" who has only ever posted once on the Widnes forum - and that was their first ever post. Stop posting trolling rubbish or the account will be banned across RLFANS."

Yet here you are, posting trolling rubbish. And at 9-year old level, to boot. You have therefore proved that you are just a moron. Well done, and goodbye!

Not to have a go at the proper Widnes fans, but that's reminded me of the time when Widnes beat us in round 2 or 3 in 2005 and we'd had an awful start to the season and they started singing "going down, going down". Then they got relegated and we won the title. To quote Alan Partridge, needless to say we had the last laugh.

How times change though!

Anyhoo the silly sausage now has two formal warnings AND his mum has promised he won't be allowed to play out after tea.

Last nights flick of the "V" from Mr Ablett reminded me of a classic fans day - Warrington away 1996.
Anyone else there that day?

They had a centre named Richard Hanari who scored a try at the shed end which was packed with Bulls fans. He flicked the "V" while running a post try arc - we all went nuts....

At the half time restart, Bulls kicked off - putting Hanari right in front of the fans he gave the V to. As soon as he arrived the song "Hanari is a @@nker" went up. It was SO LOUD - he turned round with a look of shock on his face - which served to make us sing all the louder and longer. Bulls kicked off to him and he spilt the ball, from the resulting scrum Bulls scored and the song started again. You could fair see him shrinking inside his shirt!

We were so loud and unrelenting - he made error after error and in the end he got substituted - Bulls came from behind to win 20-30. Happy days!!

Sad statistic - there were 12 of us back then who went home and away - only 2 remain

That reminds me of another time the Bulls fans put off a Warrington player – think it was Lee Briers and it was probably at the Halliwell Jones and Wire were taking a goal not exactly bang in front but near enough. The sun was shining in his eyes, so he brought his hand up to shield himself, but he looked like he was waving at us. Pretty much in unison the vast majority of the fans waved back and shouting “Hiya” and the like, that Briers stuffed the goal up! Think he had a good sense of humour about it to be fair.

Yes, I was there and joined in that signing - he gave the V's twice, he did it again behind his back after our first chorus you mention, I remember it being a searingly hot day too, and he just melted away in that second half ...I've never before or since seen a player removed from the game so completely by the crowd.

I remember a similar incident with Westwood at Warrington at the beginning of the 2007 season. He scores their try and celebrates in the faces of the away end. It didn't work out well for him either.
