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!

its £20 for a friendly...

a SL game isn't £20

this really ISNT an ordinary friendly..... is emma watson getting her t*ts out at half time or something?

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.

touche!!

I am working so wonte going anyway.Hopefully £20 be ok for a league game as these are the Superleague prices.We have been out of Superleague for 6 yrs and i rather pay £5 more than a Championship game.If you go to Watch Man Utd or Liverpool you pay over £40 so stop moaning.If can not afford it then do not go.

Saints match pricing for 2012 will be £20+ I would expect.

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.

Yes it's only a freindly 20 Quid ;[

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?

I find it bizzare that a bellend such as yourself still expects to be taken seriously on here.

clearly not loved enough as a child.

How much is it to get in?

I believe that they wanted to launch their stadium, in a prestigious manner, with two former World Club Champions going head to head. They thought about Wigan, but they play them too many times now and it is making their main derby game that little less special. They thought about Bradford and Leeds, but came to the conclusion that the local derby we now play in pre-season (The Karalius Cup) would bring in more fans.

Obviously, Warrington wouldn't be in a position to be considered.

Nonsense. Widnes are more than welcomed to be our first opponents by Saints fans and we're pleased to see our near neighbours back in the big time. I just hope our traditional Easter Monday derby is resurrected.

As for 'no rivalry',well i can say back in the mid-80s when i first started to be took to RL games as a kid, Widnes were always regarded as our 2nd biggest game after Wigan,and were for years after that until the demise of Widnes. We are neighbouring towns so there will always be local rivalry at stake.

0 out of 10 for your post.

Can't wait for this one. Got a tough decision to make where to stand on the day though. Girlfriend and her family all mad Saints fans!

Nonsense is par for the course for a Brucie posting RS.Nobody takes him seriously,except himself.

Real Catch 22 that.

For your own sake, sit with the saints fans and hope we lose but go down fighting. It's the only way.

Will sit with my girlfriend and the Saints fans (in all my Widnes gear), hope we win and its a great game...
