| If Halifax got "promoted" this season we'd get mullered. It would kill us off. We're not ready for SL.

| Quote Starbug="Starbug"I completely disagree , you go up , if you're not good enough , you come down , which clubs have got in money trouble through going up to SL ?
However being stuck there for 3 seasons paying out contracts you cannot afford on the gates you are getting because you are getting tonked every week , not good
And if you ask for an example of this ?
Huddersfield , it has taken them 8 seasons to finally become a viable SL club ( of sorts )'"
You seem to be contradicting yourself here and it actually backs up what VM has written
I think your principle works fine with a P&R system, but the 3-year licence system requires that the club promoted already needs to have everything in place and be financially viable for the full 3 years.
There’s only one club in the Championship who meets that at the moment imo.
I’m not, in any way, sticking up for the licence system - in fact I hate it – but there’s no sense in bitching about it on the Widnes board. I really wish some fans would realize this, but I guess some people are just too stupid and bitter to understand the circumstances in which we all find ourselves at this moment.

| Quote littlerich="littlerich"So, Widnes getting it together on the pitch at last. (Or at least making more than a half assed attempt) About bloody time. There will be nothing but applause from me if you go up to SL as champions. That's how it should be. Some people (the RFL) have forgotten that.'"
OK , I’ll bite.
This is total bullsh\t. Just in case it may have escaped your notice, the club has appeared in two cup finals in two years, winning one of them and narrowly losing the last one. This season we have used 41 players due to the worst injury crisis I have ever seen, and our coach has spent most of the season dealing with personal tragedy. It’s hardly suprising we struggled. We did put a little too much emphasis on bringing youth through, but is that such a bad thing?

Total?
The league tables say not. But like the RFL have pointed out - performances on the pitch are only a small part of the criteria. You will be going up to SL. You haven't been the best side.
It's simple.

Yes, because you are implying that the club couldn’t be bothered where they finished in the league, and that is just not true.

Only if you ignore the fact that many of our best players were out for most of the season. Having to use 41 players means game plans and constancy go out of the window. We had some very good players last season, more than good enough to win the league. Circumstances prevented this.

Hang on , don't go changing ' tack ' on what you said , you said if Fev went up they'd get battered , come back down and possibly be financially damaged
So that post was assuming a seasonal P and R scenario
I was asking which club has already had that scenario ?
You suggest HKR , I asked you how , as far as I know they haven't been relegated back down with financial problems
So away you go , I'm all ears ( well eyes actually , but you know what I mean ) ?

Surely VM was talking about a seasonal P and R ?
I agree completely that there is only one club currently that is in a position to take a 3 year minimum licence , that club is Widnes
Where am I ' bitching ' ? , as I said VM was using a seasonal P and R situation ?
