I'm gonna be making the trip from Hudds to Widnes for this one, my first game at the Stobbart. How much will it cost to get in? Is it around £15? Also, was thinking to bring my three year old along, is it free entry for little uns? I've actually picked this game over going to watch the Giants at Siants, was planning on doing both but funds said otherwise.
Should be good though, also what is the best stand to sit in? Atmosphere wise.
Cheers

We'll be glad to have you and the little un over here Anwar. Entrance should be £14 or £15 (not sure as I have a season ticket).
If you can get here early enough pre game you can grab a £2 discount from the club shop which is in the town centre easily accessed from the ASDA car park ( www.widnesvikings.co.uk/page.php?id=635 )- the little un may not be seen at the turnstyle by a less than observant operator  !
The ground is left from ASDA and at the 3rd set of lights turn right.
Best bet for finding things out in full such as if the discount applies if purchased on match day etc - call the club on 0151 495 2250 or the shop on 0151 420 7227.
North Stand is best for atmosphere.
Gotta ask - why this game over the Giants game?

| Cheers man! You certainly didn't short change me with the info, much appreciated!
Why Widnes...well I was planning to go to both the the Hudds game and also Vikings, but when I thought about it it seemed a bit extravagant, so since I had already bought my train ticket to Widnes naturally it was the winner. I've had a soft spot for Widnes ever since I first got into Rugby league, my dad's cousin played for the club so theres a bit of family history with it too. Coming from London, my opportunity to go and watch a game in Widnes wasn't there but now I live up north..why not?  |

Hope you enjoy the game - well you and me both.
As said already, North Stand is best for Atmosphere, although you do have to bear in mind that the drummer sits somewhere around the middle of the North Stand. I don't mind the drummer, but some prefer to sit as far away from it as possible lol.

Probably the best - at the very least the best I've seen.
What we'd give for his likes down here nowadays.
Deceptively quick, safe hands, great goalkicker and chimed into the line like all good full backs should. All that without having the athletes physique you see today!! |

Probably our best ever fullback, and we’ve had some belters over the years, including Tait, Dutton and Spruce.
I hope you enjoy the game and the experience, when you come to the Stobart.

The discount from the club shop only applies if you buy your ticket PRE-matchday.. so unless you can get someone else to pick up tickets for you then your going to have to pay full price. You can purchase tickets on match day from the ground in the Stadium Fitness Reception situated in the corner between the South and East Stands.
I recomend the North stand for the better atmosphere but if you want to protect your little-un from the noise and occational profanities then there is a family section in the south stand. |

the family stand also has the advantage that its usually in the shade, which means its cooler on hot days, (but freezing on all other days)

| What can I say? You're all top people! Cheers for all the info and the positive comments about Mick Burke, I'm sure he'd be made up knowing he's still so fondly remembered.
As for wearing my Hudds shirt on Sunday, naaa I'll be wearing my Vikings top when in Rome and all that! |

No you'll have to go to Stadium Fitness and buy your tickets first. It's a pain but that's how they do it.
Hope you bring us good luck. |

Basically you jus go in to the ‘Stadium Fitness’, which is the big glass-fronted bit in the sth-West corner of the stadium. The desk is immediately on you’re left. You won’t get the discount if you buy on the day though. It might be worth ringing up the club to see if they will reserve you some tickets, which you can then pick up in the same way from ‘Stadium Fitness’, but then get the discount.
Here's a picture of the ‘Stadium Fitness’.

As Mick lives in Austin, Texas, I doubt he'll be back for today's game - although he does come back for the big ones (Barrow football as well) and watches/listens to most of the matches through cable, DVD and internet radio.
