Danny Craven positive over Widnes Vikings future despite administration turmoil mirror.co.uk

Danny Craven is confident Widnes can recover from its administration nightmare – despite the “soul-destroying” measure of being told they cannot train. The club’s administrators took Kieron Purtill’s team off the field on Monday to avoid injuries to potential assets, despite hopes that Sunday’s Championship game with Featherstone will go ahead. Talks with a consortium continue while fans have rallied round to raise over £100,000 to help the Vikings moving forward. Craven, 27, has been at Widnes since 2010 and says what he has seen over the last week has convinced him the club has a future. Craven said: “When we first got told about the situation basically we had no hope – but what’s happened since then has been inspirational.
