Saints and Vikings announce date for annual Karalius Cup game
Be a part of history! The first match at Saints' brand new state-of-the-art stadium will be the traditional Karalius Cup clash with Widnes Vikings.
Kicking off at 8pm on Friday January 20, Royce Simmons' charges will pit their wits against Denis Betts' Super League new boys in a bid to retain the trophy.
Betts said: "To play the 2011 Super League Grand Finalists in what will be the first game at their brand new stadium is a massive honour for this club and further proves the strong link we have with St. Helens.
"Given the game is just a couple of weeks away from our 2012 Super League opener, going head to head with such quality opposition will also give us a greater understanding of how our pre-season has gone and where we're at.
"As a player and a coach, I don't think I've ever equated the words Rugby League and friendly in the same sentence. Whenever you play this game you can't go into it half-hearted and you have to give it full bore which is certainly how we'll be treating it and I've no doubt whatsoever that it'll be a real contest between the two teams."
Both sides will be at full strength for the game and that means Saints fans are likely to see the debuts of Anthony Laffranchi, Lance Hohaia and Mark Flanagan. Simmons' squad will also feature the exciting talents of Jonny Lomax, Jamie Foster and co.
Royce added: "We're delighted to welcome Widnes to our new home and I have no doubt it will be a good game. We will be well on with our season preparations and a game against a Super League club will be a real test. As a result, we will be putting out our strongest side.
"It's also nice to welcome the Vikings to the stadium for this historic match as a thank you for their help and hospitality last season."
Tickets for the annual Karalius Cup game will be available from both clubs and will go on sale soon.

Think about it though. We'll be the first team to play them at their brand new stadium. How much of an honour is that? £20 is steep for a friendly but this is not an ordinary friendly.

A friendly at 8:00pm on a Friday night in midwinter, doesn't sound too appealing either. Not really great for taking the family that.
What's wrong with a Sunday afternoon?
I think you're right. People will be put off, me included.  |

£20 for a friendly, jeez I know it's the opening game but that's a tad steep. I'll still be going but I imagine that will put a few off and why not a sunday?

| I think the idea is to put a few off tbh as nerds to be a 'limited amount' to get a safety certificate before fully being open.
Leigh have a similar problem as they struggle to get 4,000 in there to sign it off |

Then don't take them!
£20 is standard fare in Superleague. You'll have to get used to it. At least you'll get an away end with a roof over your head. Prepare to visit Yorkshire and be rained on for your twenty quid! |

Let's put it this way, maybe if we were playing wire I'd feel cheated but this isn't the team of some two bit flea market. These are grand finalists.

I will happily pay 20+ for a super league game but this isnt super league. I will probably still pay it for this i just wont be happy. |

Saints are also probably going to do categories, so fans of clubs like Wigan and Warrington will be charged more than the likes of Wakefield and Salford.

Um, last I looked Saints and now Widnes are both in the Superleague. Both teams have stated they are putting out full strength sides. Therefore, it is a Superleague match. It just isn't a league game; it's a friendly.
And our standard price for the away end is £20. You pay £20 to stand out in the wet at Cas. £20 is pretty much what everybody charges now; more in the seated stands (usually £25 in that case). |

| Yes, well whilst you supporters of stagnant teams who have grown complacent in your comfy seats at the top table from day one, with your antiquated notions of buying tickets each week - are busy paying £20 + each week, supporters of progressive teams like us will be getting excellent value for £18 per month with the stronghold |

It's not a super league match because it's not in the super league. It's a friendly match. |

But it is two Superleague clubs. When it is two Superleague clubs it tends to be full price. If you were still in the Championship, we would be paying a tenner.
In other words, it's your fault that we're paying full price! |

I completely disagree. It's a friendly between two rugby league clubs who happen to be in the super league. It is not a super league match because it's not in the super league. |

As a supporter of neither side i find it bizzare that a big club like St Helens would pick,with all due respect, a no-mark club like Widnes for such a historic game. It's no like their rivals or ever have been.
If it's a derby they wanted then surely there's better options than the Vikings?
