Don't take the



Fixed it for you

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!

talking of tickets, can I not just pay on the door?

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’.

Nice stadium

Are you coming Mick or are you gonna say how the ref robbed you from afar

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.

Cheers for the info. Will there be a dvd of today's game?

When the Mutants say CONVERT you they mean put youover the posts for 2 points.

So the second option then.

Enjoyed the day, even though the game wasn't the best. First half was really poor, but the lads showed some balls and grit second half and could have got something out of it but unfortunately the damage had already been down.

A big thank you to the bloke digging his garden over who gave me and my daughter a lift to the ground, proper sound and much appreciated. I'll be a regular at the Stobart, it's obvious that Widnes are a special club even if they have fallen on hard times.

COME ON THE VIKINGS!!!

Anwar you a converted Widnes fan now?

I travel from gloucester to watch my team and hopefully get into superleague soon.

Glad you enjoyed the day anwar, a pity the first half spoiled the result. We obviously think we have a special club - to hear a [ineutral[/i speccy say the same is gratifying.

BTW, as a neutral, what did you think of the man in the middles performance today?

I just love my Rugby league and I've been impressed with the club and it's fans, definately Super league quality. The ground is spanky and needs to be shown off on skysports against the top sides. I can't see how Widnes can't be included when the new licences are announced. The history, the facilities, the youth setup, the community work, the financial security it's all there.

Great stuff.Glad you enjoyed it mate,and hope you come a few more games this year.

As usual the refs generally in our sport are a joke, far below the standard that should be delivered and it does make our game look amateurish. It's the touch judges who grate on me the most, especially today. How many times were Barrow offside? It's pathetic, what is the point in having them if they don't make the ref aware....although he should have taken control of it. He should have clamped down on the poor behaviour of some of the Barrow players, they were allowed to get away with too much and all that reaction towards the crowd from Catic and Rooney should have been stamped out as soon as it started. At the same time, Widnes gave away some daft penalties themselves and Cullen needs to address that and soon on the evidence of today and where they are currently in the league.

Fair reply and pretty much how it is/was.

David Peachey, perhaps the most talented FB to grace Lowerhouse Lane?

Not during his spell at Widnes! He was pap, or at least when he played against Leigh!

Thanks for that.Yes,everything is in place and it would be criminal if Widnes were refused a licence next time.Many of our fans would walk away from the game forever should we be rejected after adhering to the criteria to the letter.No doubt we would once again be labelled as whingers,usually by fans of clubs with a safe seat in SL or those of championship clubs who never had a hope in hell of a licence.
Mick Burke was some player,winner of countless medals at Widnes plus the Lance Todd and Harry Sunderland trophies.My favourite performance from Mick was in the 1982 Premiership Final at Leeds when we hammered Hull.Mick had been laid up for weeks and weeks with a back injury but made his return for this game.He was overweight,not match fit and was playing against the best team in the country in the afternoon heat.He should'nt really have been playing in such a big game but walked off as man of the match.Cool as you like.Our finest full back by some distance.

As good a player as Peachey was, he came nowhere near Mick Burke - not within the proverbial country mile. I would put Peachey behind Ray Dutton and Alan Tait as well - at the very least in terms of achievement.

W O W.

Yeah, he found his level in the NRL.

And against Batley.
