20 odd quid to stand in the rain watching mis-matches in Super League or £15 tops in this league to watch hugely competitive games in the right spirit and with 'proper' fans? I know which one I'd choose.

(Plus as Halifax are our new derby, I hope you don't get in on the 26th or our next nearest team is probably bloody Barrow!)

WELL STILL BE HERE DONT WORRY!

YOU HAVE TO SIT DOWN AT MOST SUPER LEAGUE GROUNDS ANYWAY! I LIKE STANDING SO IM GLAD WE DIDNT GET IN!

Just like Russia and Qatar with the World Cup, money is more important....

What happens when you run out of it like Crusaders did?

Not so important for them

don't even want us to go up, super league and rl in general is not the same since this damn franchise came in place, its worse. Until they get p and r back they can stick it for me.
Widnes did deserve it for the off-field success but its virtually saying they didn't have to bother in the league they did naff all in three years in the league!!!!
even if we did get in in july gives you bugger all time to perpare its a bag of spanners.
I watch rugby league for the drama of it all winning and losing not for some twatting franchise programme watching people in suits decide the fate of clubs that have been rightfully active in the game for over 100 years

I remember Benny Black dropping "that" ball which ultimately gave Widnes a trophy. However, would the RFL had moved the goalposts if Widnes had won bugger all? Most likely!

WELL SAID.

ITS A SHAME THIS IS THE VIEW OF MOST RL FANS...JUST NOT THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE THE DECISIONS.

I didn't see the annoucement but note both Widnes and Fax met the criteria - did the RFL provide reasons why Widnes were preferred to Halifax?
