always enjoy widnes a grand day out

We do not recognise the existence of this 'Wigan'.

never mind that, as i recall you were killed by The Borg at Wolf 359. sarcasm from beyond the grave. Mad skills.

To cheer for Widnes?

That's fair enough, but it's not enough for anyone to call it stupidity on the part of the fixture planners though. I think they have enough to consider.

I wasn't questioning it because I disagreed with him, I was genuinely interested to know how he was able to produce such a precise figure i.e what was the source of his information.
Nothing more sinister nor quibbling than that.
HTH
Re the Wolves game, I also wondered at that since they too play on a Sunday, whereas both Saints & Wigan - both relatively close neighbours - play generally on Friday nights.
In the 70s & 80s when Widnes were so successful they regularly attracted crowds I'd have thought well in excess of Sunday's game.
I was not being critical of the club & I'm well aware of the size of Widnes relative for instance to Cas, the size of whose crowds Widnes should be aiming to emulate or even exceed given the capacity & state of their stadium.
Far from it, I was being supportive of their efforts unlike the locals.
They moaned like mad when they didn't get in last time but aren't turning up now that they are.
