I was at the bar talking to a Barrow fan that had driven down with a few mates, simply because he enjoyed last weekend so much.

Today was a great atmosphere. Just glad the Chemics got in, must of been absolute bedlam at the turnstyles at the north end, did we manage to get the mounted police in to calm things down?

Could of done with some on B&M car park

Got sick of waiting in traffic for the dithering woman to sort things out on there and ended up going on the multi storey, thank god it was open today or I'd have still been sat waiting to get on B&M.

Think I heard the official crowd as 3,900ish? Must have been far more than that, surely?! Was rammed where I was stood in the South Stand and Widnes must have taken in the region of 2,000.

shared gate might keep the beging bowls at bay next year

Good to see you and Stu there today. Shame your lass got covered in beer when we were all jumping around the terraces.

My guess is around 1000 Widnes fans as they filled the middle three sections of the North Stand it was not rammed like in the South Stand but a good turnout not saying any other, well done to them.
For us to get 3000 home fans for an all pay game was excellent come on, we have had two home games in a week.
