Agreed that pitch is awful, widnes FC aren't allowed to play on it they're about 8th tier football but theyre allowed to play top tier rugby league on it. Irs getting done again but it's not the same spectacle for me it's like watching training.

It's getting a bit real now though, looks like we will be losing the widnes derbies and crowds. I genuinely hope they come back (with a proper pitch).

Toronto Wolfpack have an artificial turf playing surface.

Great, something to look forward to.

How many consecutive games have Widnes lost, and two of the last three have been to championship sides. Do they deserve to be in superleague?

deserve?
They have a SL template with a stadium that ticks all the boxes. The team is going through a terrible period.
Do they have less a deserving template than Castleford and Wakefield?

All fine and dandy under a franchise system RD, but the performances and results on the pitch will ultimately decide who receives a place in SL for 2019.

I have heard a rumour they have signed Anthony Gelling, maybe a little late. In my opinion Widnes need to win at least 3 out of the last 4 games to stand a chance of reaching the million pound game.

Just read that Gelling has only signed from 2019, which rather voids my point above really

You look at the teams leaving super league and go into vulture mode, "Who would i take from them?"

In truth, there is not a single player from Widnes that would improve us.

The only player you may take a punt on is either of the Chapleows (sp?) Because they are still young enough to train up, however, don't know what they'd offer over G.King, who we've just let go.

The Toronto pitch is a loving disgrace!

No way is it regulation size (width) and when watching their games it’s like you’ve taken LSD seeing random different coloured lines going in all directions.

This'ish
I don't know about it not being regulation because it's allowed by the rfl but it is a scribble disgrace!
