www.widnesvikings.co.uk/view_news.php?ID=681 Anybody going?

Unlikley will attebd, but should be interesting TIW saying Penny & Jon Clarke could be announced there on pernament deals!

Cannot go as I can't get any time off work at the moment for obvious reasons so I will be relying on the good users on this site to give me the lowdown. Maybe Pepe or IET with their reasoned opinions, maybe Vikingman to tell me the club is about to reach godhood, maybe Bustin to tell me the club is better than everyone else so there, maybe littlerich to tell me although he went, ordered a season ticket and a kit, listened with concentrated intent, applauded and wet his pants in excitement he still is not a widnes fan he just loves us with all the passion that a thirsty man lost in the desert loves water.

TBH i dont often go these but they are good events, i finish work at 5 next week so there is a good chance i will be able to make it all being well.

If you can give us the rundown. This club is making the right noises at the moment and its important we keep it up.

Think me and SNOT HIM will be going any ideas what time it starts or how quickly these things sell out? I work in Chester so I can't get to the club in the day...

Very kind of you to say so Chris. All being well I should be there but my missus is not far from providing us with a little Viking of our own so who knows at this stage.

Normally about 250/300 tickets available, although the bridge suite can hold 400

Ashame can not go please give a run down of the night vikingman.Ask them what they think of halifax fans rating us 4 or 5th in the league already.


Hope a good night and look forward to a widnes country mile season.

or even 6th.

Damn straight we are!

HAHA cant wait now to windmill fax next year.

I agree, Gannon needs to sort out his tackling style

Looks like chris dean signing and a goalkicker from saints.I say no names but we will be strong next year with dual signings aswell.

Dean has been touted for weeks, hmm I must admit I wasn't a fan last year when he came but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and welcome himin the side if he comes. I wouldn't expect many dual signings to be announced until closer to the start of the season.

That's the spirit!

IMO we're in the situation now where I feel confident with what we have on board already i.e. We don't NEED the dual deals they will simply compliment an already string squad!!!

have purchased mine and bustins tickets, bustin you owe me a pint

I agree mate and i cant believe some fax fans think we will come 8th this year.Hope our players get fired up and they can eat their words.My most disliked team fax now.Hate arrogant teams.Youngsters be a year on and better.Players that have gone where injured alot such as morrison,fletch and hartley.So our replacements are strong i think.

He did not play for us last year mate it was the season when matty smith played for us.He did well and is getting better chris dean.Bring on fax .

I always thought he played his best rugby in 2nd row for his a bit like when Varks plays there in style of play!

What is anyone expecting from squad numbers tommorow, just out of interest? I can see something like this...

01 - Ford
02 - Gaskell
03 - Varkulis
04 - Kohe Love
05 - Gardner
06 - Thackery
07 - Webster
08 - Pickersgill
09 - Smith
10 - Gannon
11 - Doran
12 - Haggerty
13 - Allen
14 - Coyle
15 - Gerrard
16 - =redFinal new signing
17 - Kavanagh
18 - Strong
19 - Houghton
20 - Mullaly
21 - Yates
22 - Flynn
23 - Grady
24 - Thompson

I guess as with last time dual deals will take from 30+

Ooh the mystery 16.
