Tax debt does count on the franchise just as Widnes' adminstration did. FACT. You financial behaviour will be accounted.

There is a massive massive difference between going into administration and paying a tax bill late!

Not really , just having a normal new years eve , as for your home truths , there is only two

A club will be moving up from the Championship to SL in 2012 , at the moment that club will be either Widnes,Barrow or Fax

If SL is not expanded then a club currently in SL will be dropping out , at the moment that club will be either HKR,Cas,Wakey,Salford or the Crusaders

Logging into RLfans at 3.42 AM is not a normal start to New Years Day . I hope my comments didn't spoil your new year

Bang on!

How many clubs currently in SL could build up a club that has everything in place that Widnes have, almost entirely from the lower leagues?

Many of them cannot even do it in SL.

The moment we are back in SL our metrics will immediately go up another notch and surpass even more of those clubs currently in SL. I doubt that Wakey, Hudds, Cas, Salford and several other clubs would be anywhere near Widnes if they had been in this league as long as we have.

Would they be able to run a full academy system for 6 years?

Would they be able to sustain a support base of 3,500 – 4,000 for 6 years?

Would they have, and be able to maintain, the kind of infrastructure Widnes have at their club for 6 years?

No chance!
That is a measure of our strength as a club.

I,m not having a go at what Widnes have or have not achieved. Read the original post and do try and keep on topic please.

Your having a laugh! Well it certainly makes me laugh when Widnes fans think that they have a god given right to be next team in SL. Considering they have yet to win the big one in the Championship...Fact! For a team that failed to cut it, consistently on the field, when it mattered there seems be a lot self pitty surrounding your position. Can we have a reality check please...?

I have re-read your original post and all that it appears to be is a paranoid diatribe straight from the left field (i.e. a Wakefield fan) about why Barrow should be a Superleague Club over Widnes. An almost Pearl Harbouresque attack.

WTF has it got to do with you unless you are worried?.

As other posters have said, a successful on field playing side is only part of a license process (for heavens sake, if it were down to relative playing success, your club would be playing Bramley Buffaloes)! No offence Bramley ! (and Wakey for that matter as they are a fine old club but with, it appears, one or two numpties for fans).

A successful club however is more of an issue - but it appears that your dumb ass can't take that in.

Note how there are only two Wakey fans having a pop, the rest of your fans are probably blushing if they are reading this.

Now go away and have a sit in a dark room and think about the embarassment I feel for you.

to settle this, no team from the championship is ready for superleague.

Its still poor financial behaviour, you said that the tax bill had nothing to do with franchise points it does.

Thanks for that Mr judge and jury.Speak for yourself.
One or two SL clubs are ready for the Championship though.
