I think people will be pleasantly surprised by how many fans we take to this game.

it could, and should, open the eyes of the wider RL world that Widnes can offer a lot. 

1) Absolutely! I've not heard one fan who's in favour of what's been shoved at us by the RFL! We play neither the 'Yeds nor you, both of whom would've brought a decent following, putting a few bob in the till!

Said it before, but the Championship as a whole, is a millstone around the RFL's neck!

Spelly.

You got this the wrong way round, Spelly - it is the RFL which is a millstone round the sport's neck!

Its a fix and even the RFL cant argue. They had the 3 extra teams hand picked last season at the last minute via a 'special panel with special criteria' to suit. Now they have tweaked the IMG criteria to favour London.

For me despite what they say, in this country winning still matters. London are full time and should win by a mile but I would love it if we could pull off a Warrington in the cup standard performance against London in the grand final (they lost to Bradford in the cup) so that level of performance in a one off final just may be good enough.

Imagine they then still put London in, left us in the Championship after just beating them with 4 times as many fans as them attending the final and also relegate Huddersfield.

I think if London win they swap with Hudds, in the unlikely event they dont, i think they go to 15 teams to save face.
