Yes that is the one. It's got Gilly, JJ, Jack O, Lawton and Amor on it.

It would be interesting to know the percentage of Season ticket holders in Widnes, Runcorn and other places in the country? There is new housing in Widnes, but I feel we need to tap into Runcorn too? The Halton schools rugby league competition could attract a few new fans from Runcorn, and possibly to buy season tickets?

When is the meeting to decide the structure of Championship & Championship1 for 2026

 

It was this afternoon at 2 o'clock-ish in Oldham. I don't know if anything will be announced just yet as the meeting was with Big Nige's Steering Group, and not the RFL. I'd imagine that they'll have to meet the RFL next week. It all seems a bit 'Back and Forth' to me. I'm sure James will hear about it first hand.

It is easy for the Club to answer, as all ST holders are on the database.

I do know that they know exactly where the streamed games where accessed, via the QR info (one was accessed in Holland!!!)

From the meeting today 3 options for next season.  2 leagues made up of of 10 and 11 teams. 3 groups of 7 or 1 group of 21.

I would vote for 1 league of 21. I can see the Yorkshire teams going for a 10 team comp with 9 Yorkshire teams and Newcastle. The other side of the league isn't as attractive bar us, Oldham and Salford.

I must say that the new merchandise available online is good quality and for me personally is a great way for me to support the club. Living abroad I can’t get to games, I listen on the radio or purchase the livestreams when available.

Brilliant I didn't realise there was a comment in May. Ste Tyrer still doing it and  sorting out a Halton Cup. Good a Widnes Cup but personally need it in Runcorn too. I am not sure how many fans in Runcorn compared to in Widnes, but if even got a few hundred more it is work in progress.

I can tell you that there is a healthy stream of traffic from the car park back across the bridge after the game!!!

A Runcorn junior team has played at Wembley in a pre-cup game!!!

Also, Runcorn Highfield started a few years back, and have an open age team that plays on Saturdays.

They can be found on the Socials.
