Heard Betts offered to man the phones for the good cause but was politely turned down for obvious reasons.

A fantastic gesture from O'Connor. It would be nice to see a large Bulls continegent travel to Widnes for our fixture if we come out the other side of this.

That would be terrific and to sing Ste O Connors name in loud voice.Great man deserves a clap.

just thinking

wondering if steve can lend me a few Quid if hes giving out cash

After catalans result

think steve could have used his £10,000 to rid of our coach

Widnes are officially my 2nd team is SL. (Although I did have a soft spot before)

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your Chairman appears to have donated more than any Bradford business man so far. Looking forward to the game and chanting the mans name loud and proud. Quickly becoming a Bulls legend let alone a Widnes one. See you Monday.

Another great gesture from the man. Thank you so much.

Welcome Bulls fans and hope see you in numbers.We know what it is like to suffer so we understand.It is a family sport and we are all in this together.

Just popped across to echo my fellow bulls fans and say thank you to Steve. We are all extremely grateful for the gesture.

Assuming the game is on i hope we bring a good crowd to spend some money in the ground in repayment for this outstanding gesture.
I have bought my tickets, i just hope i will have enough petrol to get there.

Great guy.

Really want Widnes to kick on and do well now. Hopefully i'll see you soon at the Stobart.

As a Bulls' fan I wanted to say thanks for all the support we've received from your club.

Have tried to buy tickets from the Bulls but they're sold out, but still want to get over to show my support and maybe contribute to your coffers given how much O'Connor has pledged to ours.

Can anyone let me know which is the away end - probably a stupid question, but not been to the Stobart before, also if it's seated or terraced (bringing an elderly relative). Also if it's not seated, where's best to get a seat near to the away end, and whether this means I need to order tickets in advance.

Thanks guys, appreciate your support and any info you can provide.

The away end used to be the West Stand, then it moved to the East Stand, but now it seems to have moved back to the West Stand, so I would assume that this is where the Bulls fans will be on Monday. Ask on the Bulls board which stand they’ve been allocated. Any fan who has a ticket will have the stand they’re in printed on it.

If you can’t get a ticket for the West Stand, I’d be very surprised, as it holds just over 3,000. If the Bulls have filled that, then that is a great effort. You might want to try the West section of the South Stand, if you can’t get in the West. I would have thought, that if the Bulls have sold out the West Stand, the club would’ve opened the East Stand, as they did for Wigan. I can only assume that the club museum is open, as that is in the East Stand and it has to be packed away when opened on match days.

The Stobart Stadium is an all-seater, so there is no standing area. If you are bringing anyone who is disabled, it may be worth giving the club a ring on 0151 495 2250 or, if you want the ticket hotline 0151 420 7227

Cheers Pepe, that's really helpful, see you all Monday!

Well I think Pepe has beat me too it mate.Have a safe journey and enjoy your day on monday.Good news on nearly getting the money, and hopefully a local business man will buy the club out, so you can compete.

Great gesture from a great Chairman.And some bell ends reckon he is not a genuine RL man.

Steve O Connor is a true gent and a Rugby League supporter, just very grateful I got the chance along with my family to say thank you to the man himself, he seemed so taken aback at being hugged by Bulls fans but you earned it Steve and as you say, we are a Rugby League family.

Many thanks also to the great staff and stewards who went out of their way to make us all feel comfortable, thanks to the Vikings supporters for some of your great chants, when you started with the let us score and we'll give you a quid we were ready with the buckets.



Thanks again everyone and the very best of luck for the future, you've got a great Club there.
