On behalf of all Widnes Rlfanners i would like to thank those who made the trip over today, thought it was a good game, played in the right spirit, with a good atmosphere. aside from Gansons regular brain farts i had an enjoyable afternoon.
looking forward to visiting your patch.

It's been a while since we've been to the Halton/Stobart - enjoyed it, but then again the scoreline might have had much to do with it.

Thanks WIC...I thought you guys were great in keeping behind your team right to the end.(unlike certain fans not far away from you who are generally quiet until,ocassionally,in front on the score board

)

Was a great atmosphere in the ground and i was impressed with the way the Widnes fans stayed and kept behind their team right till the end. Fans from a few other clubs should make note of how to support a team when they most need it rather than jumping on the players backs. I'm sure the Widnes fans saw enough from their team to enjoy the game and to give them some hope for the current campaign. All in all an entertaining game for everyone judging by both teams being applauded off at the end.

Very good of you all to applaud our WCC victory before the game as well. Plenty of clubs wouldn't have done that. Enjoyable day out all in all.

Privilege to have the newly crowned world champs at our gaff today, always great to see quality players like burrows, mcguire and the rest of your squad. good luck for the rest of the season.

You're the polar opposite of Wigan fans you know

, which is no bad thing.

Obviously I wasn't at the game today,and from what I have been hearing from my mates about the Widnes fans today I can only apologise about my remarks about my earlier experiences at Naughten Park,I also like Salford and Halifax.I dont talk about them who were silent before 2010

Really enjoyed it both games (u20's) were enjoyable from our own pov and i can only echo what has been posted above re-support for both teams.

Not that long, less than a year... but of course not to play Widnes! I know it was a game we are trying to erase from our memories, but I do just remember it!

I enjoyed the general chit-chat and general conversations that started about 65 minutes in.

I'm just glad for the Widnes lot that the game got neatly wrapped up in good time before the main event - the football.

Yes, the atmosphere was good & the home fans got behind their team.
But I was disappointed at the number of home fans in attendance.
The East stand was empty & the North & South stands both less than 2/3rds full.
Just over 6000 there including about 2,500 travelling Rhinos fans to see the WCC & SL Champions.
Those numbers do not make the club sustainable in the long run.
After the club fought so hard to get back into SL not good IMV.

1,424 from us!

Oh well not as many as I thought judging it from being sat in the middle & with no idea opf the capacity of the West Stand.
Still we represented approx 25% of the attendees.
If I were attached to Widnes I'd be disappointed at the number of home supporters there, despite the undoubted attraction of Cardiff vs Liverpool on tv.

PS How can you be so precise about the number of Rhinos fans in attendance?

Good stadium, nice seating, good atmosphere well done to Widnes fans for sticking it out and the genuine clapping for the rhinos WCC victory. I thought there were a couple of thousand of us but still not bad. Only bad thing about the day oh that M62

Widnes know how many away fans from numbers going through the turnstyle mate in the West Stand.North and South Stands have the most seats in them, and to be honest it was mainly die hards at the game due to our bad displays this year.I know a few who went to the Liverpool game, and i am sure more home fans will turn up when improve.Well more fans than London,Crusaders,Salford and after a few seasons i think will catch Castleford up on attendances.Anyway i went as a die hard, but is painful to watch a team get smashed everyweek?

How did you arrive at your guestimate of 2500?

I guestimated it.
Isn't that what guestimates always are or do you have a clever legal answer?

Just found it amusing you were questioning Sam Buca's finger in the air guess when you had done exactly the same.

Thanks to Widnes!!!

Great day out, had some good banter with fans in the crown and Horse & Jockey before hand, was great to see the turnout from Leeds fans!

Widnes fans, got to give you credit, stuck behind your team and didn't leave them. Players showing signs of improvement and I don't think it will be long before you start getting points on the board.

Good luck for rest of season, thanks for the day, see you at ours!

Do you have any idea how small widnes is? get real. we have a population comparable to castleford, with 3 of the most successful teams of recent years within a stones throw.

Finger in the air?

The cheek!

It came from Gledhill in the media section.

Which is the better source of information is anyone's guess though.

left home in plenty of time to find the Runcorn bridge had road works arrived 5 mins late

always enjoy widnes a grand day out

Good reason not to have been given a franchise eh?

1,426 was the official amount of spectators in the away end, FYI.
