i know this thread has nothing to do with me or any fax fans but i can see why the widnes fans are upset.
you and salford got franchises to super league at the end of last season even though i can think of 3 teams in the league who had better stadiums than both salford and celtic.
celtic got in because of location alone and there was also something about bringing more welsh players into the game as well which i have seen no evidence of at all so far, i know you have only been up and running as a club for a few years so it will take time to get players coming through the ranks. its not really celtic i am having a go at i think everyone on here knew you were dead certs for the franchise as soon as they announced it was going to happen.
it is salford personally i cant see how salford got into super league over widnes, widnes have a location that has st helens around which would have been good for location where as salford have a whole host of teams around them. widnes have a better stadium than salford. i cant really see how they got in ahead of widnes to be honest.
i'm just waiting for the next franchise to come around so halifax can hopefully bring super league back to the shay.
P.S. no hard feelings anyway. good luck and hope you get that first win soon.
