Quote WWRLFC78="WWRLFC78"

Like I said before, I'm not saying Warrington V Wigan or Warrington V Saints will ever become the 'derby game' but everyone has to recognise, those games have been very entertaining and unexpected!'"

Let's hope it continues. I hope the top 4 continues to have Lancashire sides involved because that will make for some pretty special play off encounters this year.

Quote Steve Ella's Beard="Steve Ella's Beard"No, my definition of a big club (and the same definition of most of the people I know) is based on the total amount achieved since it's formation combined with the support base of the club.

Liverpool in football would still be a big club even taking away any honours other than domestic League championships, which they haven't won since 89-90, coupled with their excellent support, 18 wins makes them a big club even if they go another 20 years without winning one.

In the trophies that mattered most to Rugby League fans, Warrington's 3 championships and 6 challenge cups isn't quite there yet.'"

So basically your criteria of a big club filters out everyone other than Saints & Wigan? I mean, can we be specific now just so I can weigh up how long its going to take Warrington to become a big club? Exactly how many Championships / Leagues and Challenge Cup wins = a big club?

Quote WWRLFC78="WWRLFC78"other than the customary 'big 4' (Wigan, Saints, Bradford & Leeds). Hull were the most recent outside of the big 4 but now Warrington join that club. What exactly is the defenition of a small club?'"

size of club:

Support Base

Income

Success on the field

History + well known outside of RL heartlands

Stadium

Training Facilities

Rivalries

Your stadium is that of a middling club (only 13k)

Your history is nowhere near wigan saints etc

Your main rival is in NL1

Quote WWRLFC78="WWRLFC78"I'm sorry guys, we are just as big as you two. If it goes off season tickets sold again, we are up there.......away fans.....again, up in maybe the top 4, average attendances at home.......again up there with the biggest.'"

far away from the leaders leeds, hull, wigan im afraid and weve not even had any big games at home

Quote WWRLFC78If the size of your club is measured on percentage of salary cap spent every year'"

No, anyone can have a rich backer

Quote WWRLFC78Good enough?'"

Nope

One question

Why do Wigan and Saints fans spend so much time discussing Warrington if you think that they are insignificant?

Quote WarriorSteve="WarriorSteve"Maybe you should read my second post were I mentioned Warrington as a "small time club"...... you wires certainly know how to take the bate!.. I did put the "laughing smiley" after the comment.. but it still didn't stop all you wires biting...

'"

Check out 'Steve Ella's Beard's' reply rearding big / small clubs. You may have been joking, he is not!

And not all Wires took the bait, just me seemingly!

It passes the time brilliantly. I wouldn't go trolling on the Warrington board though.
