It's a shame as some of my fondest memories are ofus playing widnes dezzies rivalry with offiah and with some widnes fans. That fear when we played them n Howard n soeensen were in form going to it to watch them in the WCC Tho even during their successful times there was always a financial emergency around the corner.
Poor management and a bad deal on the stadium in terms of where match day money is going coupled with dwindling attendances in a town that cannot support a club with the aspirations a side of widnes's history should expect. Unless they find a wealthy backer who has time and money I think anything else is just again patching over a pretty big hole.
We've lost some pretty big name clubs from the top flight, Halifax Sheffield widnes fetherstone Bradford and leigh. Clubs come and go for many reasons I'm. Thankful we look secure for the forseable.
W71 I'm with you, the argument that the cap stops clubs going bust is a myth look at Salford Bradford widnes leigh. What it does is limits aspiration of potential investors both in clubs and the game in general. Its kit like the cap is particularly high given that some prole in London earn more than that in a year themselves!!
