The story of Widnes RLFC one of rugby's most famous clubs and how it survived administration and returned to Super League. Backed by the club and written by the official club statistician this will appeal to fans of the club and the wider rugby world.

Having sunk into Administration in 2007 former World Club Champions Widnes Vikings, under the stewardship of new owner Steve O’Connor, rose phoenix-like to eventually re-gain their place in the top tier of the sport in 2012

Along the way they suffered rejection by the Rugby Football League in the sport’s inaugural Licensing process in 2008, only to be successful three years later.

Mike Healing's informative account of how the club turned that failure into success takes an in-depth look at the many changes taking place within the club as it was re-structured for success in addition to the new Licensing process.

While the main focus is on the behind-the-scenes developments, the highs and lows of the on-field action, including the return to Super League in 2012, also receive detailed attention

Comfortable jeans. Perfect length. Too baggy for my body shape.
Size: 0, Color: Medium Wash, Size: 0, Color: Medium Wash
5’0 - 95lbs I got size 0. They are comfortable, but really baggy. The length sits perfect at my ankles. The quality of the jeans are also nice. Pockets are a good size.

Too high waisted
Size: 14, Color: Black
I really wanted these jeans to fit because I loved the style and the heavier weight with just a touch of stretch. Size 14 should have fit but was huge. High waist is an understatement; the waist hit between my bellybutton and my boobs. The whole body area - waist, butt, crotch was huge. Sad because I liked the look of the legs...just the right amount of width and the length hitting the top of my Chelsea boots (26" exactly, I measured) plus the wide cuff. I'm not sure if going down a size or two will change how high the waist goes.

I’m smitten
Size: 18, Color: Black
These are so well made and perfect high-rise to keep my belly tucked away. Have the perfect stretch without making me sausage like. Keep shape all day! Great length and look so cute with all kinds of shoes. Can’t wait for sweater weather!
