Apparantly (not seen it myself) but Widnes have put adverts in the Echo with a £5 ticket offer for Saturday's game.

So for both Widnes fans who are a bit skint and new fans who might want to give us a try (without it costing the earth) good move all round really.

Excellent news, a good way to attract fans to an exciting game, it would be nice if we could get 5,000 in for that game and start the seaon with a bang.

5000 against Sadlesore

I think the offer is for toulouse.

Let's just hope someone tells the players to turn up on thursday.

Great avatar comrade! St Pauli. "And I know why I stand here. Nazis Raus!"

Many thanks sir.Have you heard about the latest purge down at the joke stadium.Apparently you are not allowed to take a hip flask into the ground.So in these cold months when watching such entertaining fare and you are feeling the chill of the winter,you are not allowed to take a nip of Brandy or Whiskey in our customer friendly stadium.

If you are caught with the said item then you run the risk of been ejected from the ground. Nazis Raus.

Its been a Thursday night game for a while now you'd hope the echo would advertise it as that

No, I hadn't heard that. I doubt the stewards would do anything even if you brought in a gallon keg of rum and passed it around the North Stand toasting the health of every single player ever to turn out for Widnes since 1873.
Let's face it, they bottled it that time the St Chads Year 7 kids decided to have a go back at the Huddersfield Inter City Firm.

I kid you not doc

The whole set up down there is a total joke.If they carry on the way they are going down there, they will only drive punters away.With the way things are at he moment i would have thought they could do with all the fans they can get.

There are a couple of older chaps who take flasks in and sit in front of me every week? May i remind you that it is a council run stadium and nothing to do with Steve O'connor etc. Drop the club an email enquiries@widnesvikings.co.uk <enquiries@widnesvikings.co.uk> and they are pretty pro active and will get straight on to HBC.

I am well aware of who runs and owns the stadium and i kid you not about the hip flask ban.

Is it word of mouth or just some jumped up steward warning you?

Would be good to get a flask campaign going 'bring a friend and bring a flask'


Watch them try to reject 2,000 carrying flasks

Hahah Im going to buy one

Sorry it was my bad, it was the Toulouse game they were on about not the CC game.

Apparantly there will be a similar thing going on as to what happened at the Salford game last year - should be decent crowd.

I know.As if we don't have enough stay aways as it is,without giving them another reason/excuse to bore the ars off us about their non attendance.

Don't worry. All those football fans will be turning up any time now to fill the place.


St Maries won by the way. Always nice to see a Widnes team playing with a bit of heart.
