I'd imagine Widnes will provide you with 1000 or so speccies, maybe more. I doubt many of them will buy tickets beforehand, unless this is a requirement?

the guy clearly needs to get a girlfriend.

I think his brain thinks we are Crusaders in disguise, and is probably a virgin.

Friday 13th - don't be unlucky!


The Friday 13th ticket deadline for the Saints versus Vikings game on Friday 20th January is looming.

Given this game is being used as a test-run for certification purposes at Langtree Park the overall attendance has been restricted. The Vikings only have a limited number of tickets available for this annual Karalius Cup fixture and any not purchased from the Vikings Superstore by 3.00pm on Friday 13th January will be returned to St. Helens and consequently freed-up for their own supporters.

Please be aware, this is a ‘Ticket Only' event and there will be no pay at the turnstiles facility or ticket buying opportunity at Langtree Park on Friday 20 January, so act now...or miss out!


FROM THE WIDNES VIKINGS WEBSITE

Saints have now advised that Widnes haven't taken up all their allocation of tickets and so more Saints fans can purchase tickets for the match. Good job really since we'd pretty much sold out our own allocation. The limit is 12,000.

Sad that more Vikings didn't want to join us, especially as the match is in memory of a great player for both our teams.

A fair few Widnes fans have been put off by the price (and having to purchase in advance) I believe. Demand probably would have picked up nearer the game but understandable Saints will take them back to sell to demand.

I doubt Saints could have sold on the gate at this match as it is to secure a safety certificate so I would imagine they will need to know in advance that they are under the agreed limit. As for the price, that debate has been done to death I think!

I agree mate and I will be going even though I think Saints will win comfortably.Widnes fans are too used to Championship prices.Personally I would rather pay an extra £5 to have a better atmosphere and quality.

I know mate. Fully understandable IMO.

If people don't want to go fine, but also a good amount of RL fans don't seem to understand supply and demand

Well this fan has been put off and I make pretty much all the home and away games.

I'm afraid I have been deterred from going by the price as I think it's exorbitant to charge that much for a friendly game. I think Warrington and Swinton both charged a tenner in?

See you all (metaphorically speaking) on Feb 3rd...

Squads: www.widnesvikings.co.uk/article.php?id=6865 I'd go with: Briscoe Flynn Marsh Isa Ah Van Watts Hanbury Cross Moore Kavanagh Allen Winterstein Clarke I'd start Cross as I think he's less likely to suffer an injury if he plays from the beginning!

Its a sell out , no more tickets available

Should be a great atmosphere and a memorable night. Can't wait!

Yup hoping for a cracker

Best game ive watched in ages, well worth the money!

To only lose by 18 points is a massive result for the 'Vikings'. Well done.

Paddy Flynn was very good. Was it him who regathered his own chip kick and then booted it to the right, caught by someone else who scored? Brilliant try that. Best one of the night.

It's good to know that a St Helens lad scored the first try at Langtree Park, even though he was playing for Widnes!

We gave them a real good game tonight and the lads can be proud of themselves. Really like the new stadium. Well done Saints.

Well played Widnes.

You certainly displayed more attacking creativity than St Helens for much of the game. Your kicking game was much better than St Helens as well.

Although a friendly its quite clear the team don't intend to simply make up the numbers and once the team gels a bit more some of the other clubs will not look forward to playing against you.

Yeah I thought we gave you a really good game. Good luck for the season ahead. I think we'll surprise a few along the way.

What was the max allowed attendance?

It was supposed to be 13,000 and sold out but the attendance was less than this which is strange.

Yes good luck for the season ahead and I think you will surprise a few teams this season. Its nice to have you back in Super League and many Saints fans were mentioning this tonight.

Where did the 13,000 figure come from? It was announced by Saints as a reduced capacity but I don't remember them ever putting a figure on it?

The official attendance was 11,900.

The 13,000 limited capacity was printed in the St Helens Star and Reporter.
