Or anyone in the Prediction Competition will be rewarded with 1,000 points, just think of the fun driving around in garyhulsefans prize Mercedes!!

This is only a guess, and I may be completely wrong, but I don't think you are going to get a South stand ticket for Widnes.

As far as I remember that game wasn't a sell-out.

The Saints game was a 15,000 sell out. The capacity following that game was raised to 15,200. I think the theoretical capacity of the ground is somewhere around 15,600 but the club needs to prove it can handle the next level i.e. The 15,200 before we are allowed to add more on.

To be honest, it was bad enough with 15,000 in, another 200 in the South stand on Friday will be very snug

Wont be able scratch your own backside in south stand, im only worried about who will be doing it for me

I was too late for a south ticket so bought one for west stand - let's hope they don't pump too many Widnes fumes in there!! No way I was going to miss this one........

Widnes now sold out of there adult allocation, only a small number of concessions and juniors available!

I understand that the Widnes allocation was 2,000 tickets, but the capacity of the West is at least 3,200. Some people will undoubtedly have booked a West ticket on the online booking system (like Mr Snoodle) before the club removed it from the system. But presumably there will still be some tickets left for the West ? Are the club going to allow walk-up cash entry for the West for Widnes / Wire fans ?

My guess is that it would appear not, as your friend and mine 'front seat' Ant visited the Club Shop first thing yesterday morning on a mission and was knocked back for the West as were many others.

A cash turnstile would be pandemonium against Widnes IMO, which is rather unfortunate as I've had the 'pleasure' of being displaced from the South against Wigan and Saints without any bother.

That would mean the club have allowed wire fans to book places in the West on the booking system, but are not allowing them to take
up any more available places ? However, I suspect that is correct though, otherwise they would be trumpeting the fact that we had a capacity sell out. Presumably they are worried about the policing of the West after all the fun and games we have had in previous years.

But we are a family sport and pride ourselves on mixed terracing so there should not be any issues in the West.

We will probably have 50 stewards in the ground on Friday, 49 of whom will be in the West. Which is probably why they have run out of places.

I will be keeping well away from our web footed friends from Widnes - although restraining myself from celebrating wildy when we hit the 50 point mark may be difficult!

I'm with you in the West Snood's I will be the one wearing a crash helmet

They may have hung the 'Sold Out' signs, but it wasn't a sell out in real terms, current capacity is 15,200. Was it just a case that they didn't want too many wire fans in the West stand?

There was space where I was in the West for a good few more fans. There was also trouble near me with drunken Widnes idiots & Security (they weren't stewards) that left one young Widnes lad in tears - what idiots....

A girl fainted just near me in the South Stand. Hope she's okay. Was very busy but enough room, just. Don't think you'd fit many more in the South. Shame it's not bigger. You could certainly extent the terrace so it goes back as far as the concourse wall on the outside (see here on the left hand side of this lie for what I mean, see the step of the stand?coukd easily be made into a square so the terrace could go back):

I was also near her - hope she was ok although I expect she was as I saw her (what I think were) family still at the game at half time.

Fully agree about the extension although doubt it can be justified unless we get 15k plus 5-6 times a season and think that should have been done before the corners but obviously the cost would have been much greater.

Well, if we lose a couple of matches I am sure the problem of ground size might quickly disappear. But the problem for me is the West stand. It's capacity is at least 3,200, but that number of away fans will only rarely turn up. And it certainly doesn't look great when the cameras pan around the stadium either. I don't suppose the club would consider it unless we fill the ground this year, but one option might be to fill in the NW corner with seating and also include part of the West with it. That would probably cost 5-600K based on what we did with the other two corners. The corner would add around 650 seats plus 350 from the West would make an extra 1000 places - ideal for our world club game next February (cough).

The plan is another tier on the North before they do anything with the South. Found this from a few years back, plans in place to move capacity in excess of 20k should the need arise. m.warringtonguardian.co.uk/news/ ... nd_20_000/

Btw seems that the idiots stayed away, we met plenty of good Wids and I believe there were no arrests made whatsoever. Good to see everyone getting along.

Yeah I didn't see no trouble.

Dennis Betts came in the Kings Head afterwards too chatting and having his photo took with Wire fans. Seems a decent bloke. Fair play to him for going in there full of Wire fans.

Dennis Betts came into the South Stand pre-game (prob about 14:30 or so) chatted to a few fans and then went on his way. Then just before the game he walked under the stand to take his match position and got a few boos but he pointed at Kevin Brown and said "must be for him"!

Seems like a sound fella!

Funny how he was allowed in but afterwards I was with a family of 4 Widnes fans ( 2 were kids) and was told they could not come in unless they took the shirts off. Pity the cretins on the door thought it was side splitting to try and belittle a bloke with his Mrs and kids.....Safe to say we won't be ever going back in the hole again.
