I can see Widnes being close to selling out against teams like Wire,Wigan,Saints,Leeds,

Its a nice compact stadium which keeps the atmosphere and is a decent enough sized ground for all fans to watch their team in.

Hope you are right - our highest crowd in SL last time was just short of 10K with an average of 7k.

There is certainly the potential there for Widnes to do better, but just not sure if the general public in Widnes are buying into it just yet. Widnes fans have had quite a few years of disappointment on the pitch and I think a lot of people need to be won over by the club with big signings etc. Since the licence announcement things have been very low key and I don't think we'll get a good picture of what our likely crowds will until people get a idea of how strong we'll be. IMO the ball is very much in the club's court.

which was effectively a sell out, given we only had three stands at the time.

I can surely sere Widnes having bigger crowds than Wakey,Cas,Quins,Salford, and as Widnes have a good stadium compared to them teams mentioned,this should be an advantage into how full the ground will be week in week.

Generating more cash for the club only to b e built into a successful club in the future.

Just been an update... 96% current ST signed up with 1,300 NEW supported added too, so I'd probably stick that around the 4,000 mark! Not bad considering no new signings made yet and still 8 months until SL begins!

Who told you that mate?Hopefully the other 4% buy a season ticket or join later.1300 new is great news and I know a few who are thinking of joining later in t year.Maybe we can attract a few more from new brighton area.

I was off in calcs... www.widnesvikings.co.uk/article.php?id=4946 stands at 3,220! Though going off SL crowds I'd put that as more ST holders then Salford, Quins & Crusaders already.

Cheers j20 just seen it buddy.Hey should be over 4000 against leigh at home.Hopefully we can get a few more with players going into schools.

some good info there j20 thanks.

Is that 3220 season tickets for next season? If so that is quality! Still ages to go and loads of people to be won over. Should easily be pushing 6 maybe even 6.5k when the buzz starts in the build up to next season. Average could be 7k easily maybe even 8k with a good year on the field!

You can come on here more often...

Yea basically the 3,220 are commited to the club as it stands for the remainder of this season and until end of SL 2015 effectively!

I can see over 4000 if a few big signings are made and maybe 5,000 when Christmas presents are bought!

I agree there.

I thought all 4 stands were open for the first time for that Wire game.

the east stand hadnt been built when we entered superleague. the cow sheds were closed during that first season. and our first superleague game was against st helens

Would love to us to be the first game in Widnes next season, would surely be a sell-out!

I hope you Widnes fans turn out in your thousands for the magic weekend as well.

Wounder how many fans widnes will take with them to the magic weekend?

Was picking my first game the other day and went for Wigan away as be an electric atmosphere and being our first back in SL I'd back us to sell out away end too. Wire we prob would near enough anyway.

If they shuffle season dates (clashes with Wales RU fixture) and have it as game one then I'd say their is a fair chance we could even be the best supported side again with it being are SL return! We have a few coach companies now already in competition so travel costs would reduce. Also our first magic weekend full stop. So I think we'll take decent numbers whenever it is!

You are probably right, first away game at our place would be huge for you guys, our game at your place would get a massive crowd anyway and both games between you and wire will hopefully sell-out.

Probably the most out of everyone. It's their first game back in super league and it's against their biggest rivals. 4-5k would be great.

Sounds good,can widnes be the new saints

Hopefully better than saints.

can't freakin wait!
