How are the club addressing those missing points to forward our IMG application. How did Brad and York afford the big screen and advertising hoarding especially as York had less than half our attendances.
How far away is our A team from being game time.Our first home game attracted 4,000 the next was just over two....why. What was different
Other clubs have "money men" are our board Not money men. Can we not offer free cars etc to enhance wages?
Where can you get free cars from? Asking for a friend...
😂Dont be a dipstick TS1. Years ago the likes of Jonathon Davies etc all drove around in “free” cars sponsored by Widnes and neighbouring company’s. Great publicity was had by all👍👍
@mikeparsons Great work Mike really enjoy the stuff you do. One thing, I would prefer a podcast that was edited by yourself and James. The club could do its own poscast or updates but I like the idea of an impartial fan based update as well.
Maybe there will be an 'out takes' reel at the end of the season? 🤣 🤣 🤣

@pauliewalnuts Or examples of the utter shite posted on here 😉
@martin York have Clint goodchild an Aussie business man who has a chunk of money behind him. Their attendances don’t matter
Indeed last nights game the stadium was virtually empty.Thre sides looked very sparse and I thought the main camera side would be full..wellish but no a shot from another camera pitchside showed it to be the same...2000 at very tops

And what 'great publicity' would anyone from Widnes generate now? The club can't afford it or they'd just give cash & sponsors would get almost 0 positives for their business. A massive chunk of the town wouldn't recognise the players if they walked right past them.
It's not being a dipstick. It might be sarcastic but it's also realism. It's not 1989 any more.
I bet most of the Saints/Wigan stars don't have sponsored cars so why would some part time players from Widnes get one? It's pie in the sky optimism/completely unrealistic.
Might not be what people want to hear, but it's true.

Of course your right TS1 and that’s not sarcasm 😂
Saints/Wigan give lots of money so cars aren’t necessary but in the day they had them, nowthey can afford their own however our rivals (York, Brad, London etc) pay their top players with “perks”, cars was just an example.👍

the government it's called motability tell your friend 👍
Personally I think the podcasts are very good and informative and mike does a brilliant job at it ....but must say never a good sign when the club edits what they want to put out ...every question deserves an answer and cherry picking which ones stay in is low level censorship... nevertheless look forward to watching

Agree mate and without the fans then there is no Widnes rugby league club. Success and growing a fan base is being open and honest, so then we understand why on a budget and where our WVIPS and numbers through the gate go towards. We all want the best possible team on the pitch, and success comes from honesty and integrity which will get more people on board rather than lose people.
When is the Podcast on You Tube as look forward to it and Mike Parsons is doing a fantastic job.
The Podcast will be out likely early next week. In regards to the editing I think this is getting taken out of context. What we mean by this is cutting the start so it does not record us setting up the camera and likewise the end.
Another example is half way through last weeks episode with Aimee the lights went off, again this was edited so nobody noticed. I can 100% confirm the club does not take any content out of it, what you listen to and watch is exactly how its recorded. If it wasn't I would be the first one to challenge.
Finally the person who is actually "editing" it at the moment is James who is supporting the clubs media department after Dan's departure until a more permanent solution is arranged.
The Podcast isn't completely finished by me and James but it could return in perhaps a slightly different format. We are thinking over some different ideas and have not come to a decision as of yet.
Thank you all though for your feedback! It is greatly appreciated, myself and James are grateful for everyone who listens!
@martin cars are a benefit in kind and as such count on the salary cap and have a tax liability so player could actually earn less by getting a car.
@cumbria-viking No problem at all mate, in fairness unless explained you wouldn't know.

Thanks David, other teams get away with cheating the salary cap, it was just an idea I plucked out of the air. Wish i had never bothered now 😂😂
