CraigG 56 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/47319477 Widnes Vikings Rugby League team who I support are going into administration with a 12 point deduction. Sunday's match has already been cancelled. The club has suffered from terrible management with a CEO awarding himself massive bonuses for years of failure. It all sounds very familiar and is very depressing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

harlands plater 16,975 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Remember then from the days of Eddie Waring and old school Rooogbeh Leeeeeeague.

SuperPapac05 3,383 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Bradford Bulls, one of the biggest teams in RL, had similar a few year back. Thankfully they're bouncing back and hopefully get back into Super League sooner rather than later. I couldn't give a fuck about Widnes tbh.

CoopsLaud 4,186 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Must be some sort of unlucky cunt when your football team and then your rugby team go into admin. Fuck that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotstopper 765 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Were Widnes not the team, not that long ago, who were the "unbeatables" and won everything in sight? Remember Eddie Waring all right - UP and UNDER was his famous phrase. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Eddie Waring all right - UP and UNDER was his famous phrase. You're probably thinking of Wigan, who won League and Cup doubles every year for seven years or something. Widnes had a good team at one time though and had a successful period, with a number of Wembley appearances. Those days aren't coming back for a long while.

Went on a piss up with the Bradford Bulls back in 2005 after a game with Leeds. My mate was best mates with Joe Vagana who played for them at the time. Drunkest I have ever been in my life. My hangover says that their administration was justified. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
