Yes, I think we could have given you a game, if it had gone ahead on the original date. (the day after you play Cas'!!) From what we are hearing in the press, at Leigh, you are about to be handed a colossal advantage, when the game is to be played!  |

If i'm hearing right (three day turnaround for you) then that's ridiculous, even if it is to our advantage. |

Yes, it's on a 'blank' weekend for both of us (unless you beat Cas) - but ours is only 'blank' beacuse our game has been brought forward to Thursday, for SKY. So, if things stand, you get a ten day rest, before playing us! |

Don't give a toss about the South, paulifax, did the Vikings actually settle in WIDNES? I think not, as confirmed by Vikingman's silence on this delicate matter. Am I right? I'M NOT WRONG! |

You didn't play Thursday-Sunday though, did you? Let's not forget that we had to go to Toulouse the Saturday following the Easter games, and then had to play Fev at home 4 days after coming off the plane! |

It says the word Widnes came from "wide noses" would this be before we played them at home or after? |

| Quote Tony Fax="Tony Fax"God knows why Widnes call themselves the Vikings anyway. For a start, the vikings never went anywhere near Widnes (understandably). And furthermore, the Vikings were notorious for pilaging and raping, not to mention they invaded our great land and were our brutal enemies. So an extremely sick nickname if you ask me. What would YOU think if Halifax were called "Halifax Rapists" or "Halifax Nazis". Same thing innit?.'" learn your history boy. Ness means "nose" in Viking language, ie a promontory or peninsula. "Wid" is Wide - Wide Nose gt corrupted in time to Widnes. The regional capital of Viking England was quite close by. There is evidence of a small Viking settlement but the area flooded regularly in the 10th century.
I could go on - my degree was in history and I specialised in - wait for it - settlement of towns up to 1750.
So Vikings is apt. But the club will always be the Chemics to me. |

| I gather that when Manx Viking and Viking Man cock their clogs they will be floated down the Mersey in specially constructed burning longboats ignited by chemicals. All the mourners will gather on the banks of the river eating Snig Pie and will then leave on chartered coaches to go and rape and pillage the town of Leigh.  |
