Easy 4 points against the 6 fingered, smelly chemics.

4 big clubs in the NW now. The home League!

lets hope wakefield get the boot,brought nothing to ESL,improved nothing....infact gone backwards...bye bye wakefield

 

[The Tank]

Halifax still a chance, Barrow out. Hoping for Wakey and Crusaders out. Widnes and Fax in.

To be fair i think the crusaders have to be looked at.

Expansion into Wales is good for the game but expansion to Wrexham from Widnes isn't that far.

Give the Scorpians 3 years to build up some decent Welsh youngsters and a presence in South Wales then they can come in then to replace Hull KR who have added less than Wakey.

If the stadium falls through (again) for Cas, kick em out and put fax in.

great news! i remember them as being quite a popular club with fair crowds! i think they will add a lot to super league and look forward to their derby with warrington!

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

Good news, great club. Wakefield will be out and that will be the only change I'd imagine.

Yeah them and Salford bring nothing to SL.

Crowds will be nothing startling hutch outside of away fans. They struggled to draw big crowds when they were the dominant English team. They will be a straight replacement for Wakey with a better stadium. They won't bring much more to the table.

we'll see, when we were relegated we had something like 6th highest average crowd so beat it

 

[deluded pom?]

I see you fail to put a number on that alleged sixth highest crowd figure. Less than seven thousand. Like I said, a straight swap for Wakey with a better stadium.

Piss off

 

[biggestbroncosfan]

good to see the Vikings back in SL next year id also like to see Leigh, Halifax or Toulouse in as well

 

[roughyedspud]

nah it'll be 1 in 1 out...the out being wakefield

 

[Wilson1]

I like Widnes and think that they offer far more than a club like Salford or Wakefield. I still don't see them getting crowds of above say 6,000.

 

[biggestbroncosfan]

nah it'll be 1 in 1 out...the out being wakefield

or crusaders..

 

[Evil Homer]

or crusaders..

No. It will be Wakefield.

 

[mattystans000]

nah it'll be 1 in 1 out...the out being wakefield

any chance both wakey and salford will drop out, and widnes (duh) and halifax will come in?

or is salford's new stadium and proximity to the bbc studio (or whatever that thing was?) enough to keep them in superleague?

i dont think it matters what the figure was, what matters is that we beat half the league on attendances despite apart form week 2 we wasnt out of the bottom two in the league table

You can't just say figures don't matter and then claim you had more support than half the league. Do they matter or don't they?
