Bellend how many fans they have?

Maybe fev should be in superleague, thats a maybe. The one thing i now for sure, if fev were in superleague that little titchy, long since died on its mining village could not support a team in any which way worthy of the place in superleague. so what exactly is your point?

If Fev were in SL they would have exactly the same problem, a lack of time to assemble a squad for the first season.

With the greatest of respect, Widnes is a very small town too.



We can't really read into sizes and populations of towns. It doesn't mean anything. London get the poorest attendances in SL yet London is massive.

Widnes 60,000 population and Featherstone about 20,000.So is bigger and with Runcorn part of Halton add another 60,000.So your point for Featherstone?

Maybe he just needs a little more time? I know its frustrating but keep supporting your club. Bradford went through this.. Steve Mcnamara was awful for us and our attendances dropped & look at the mess we're in now, we're finally getting some decent results but we havent got a penny! Ps had a fab day out on Monday & despite the negative press regarding the Bulls finances we were made to feel very welcome! Thank you & Good Luck

Featherstone add Pontefract with a population of 30,000. You're talking a total of not far off 50,000 mate. Widnes really isn't that much bigger.

but then Widnes (and the rest of the world) also has about 500 years of social and technological development on Fev

Haha, you mean things like shoes and knifes and forks?

Still double in size with Runcorn and a catchment area in North Wales and the Wirral.Widnes still have a few thousand more fans than Fev so no comparison really.So i still disagree with what you are saying, as i dont think they are near our structure.

I'd argue that most in Runcorn and the Wirral and North Wales won't be rugby league fans (Unlike Pontefract). However, the few that are might follow Widnes but they are just as likely to support Saints and Warrington too. Geographically we're all tied together.

Anyway, we'll agree to disagree. I've nowt against Widnes. I've never disliked them even when they were a top team which in a few seasons you could be. Continuity is key, especially with coaching staff.

I see your point too mate but when Fev where top of the league and Widnes where mid table we still had better support.What does not help to improve our fan base at the moment is our poor performances.Imagine Fevs attendances if played last 5 yrs crap?Does not help the area with Man Utd,Liverpool,and Everton fans.We all know extra support comes from success and like most teams support can come further a field.We need to get the product on the pitch before marketing further a field.To be honest Rugby League will always be behind football and Rugby Union for national interest.
