Its all pay, they'll be laughing as you wander to the back of the queue

What an absolute load of tosh:

1) We dont print tickets, unless requested to do so for RFL. Should we have to pay to print 1000 tickets when it simpy isn't necessary. Our turnstyle operators are trustworthy enough to receive money, so there is no need to experience the debacle at Stobart last season where our "200" fans had to queue for 20 minutes for a ticket being sold by one inept oxygen thief, to then have to queue again to get through the turnstile operated by said oxygen thief's twin. More than 1000 paying fans had no trouble getting into the southstand on sunday, with the same number of turnstiles.

2) With regards the 15 coaches. A tremendous effort, to be applauded. But what can the club do - "secure" a car park of a private firm (B&M) that sells everything for £1. We have no special arrangement with them, they just seize an opportunity on a matchday to make a quick and easy buck from fans with motors. The surrounding area is all road. The club have managed to get Halifaxplc (not LGB grrr) to open the car park to ease street congestion.

You go on about professionalism... the Widnes Press Release is the absolute antonym of professionalism, and seems intent on stoking the fire before the big game.

Typical whining scousers - finding the worst of every situation and thriving on grief. Hail Boris.

Great post Pinball...you just saved me 5 minutes. They are just trying to get our backs up...hopefully we can do our talking on Sunday.

widnes wanted the tickets so they get the cash for a spilt cup game safely in their pockets before we have chance to turn round and say only 2000 turned up to pay. i wonder why they would think that/. maybe past exercises by the widnes club?
i dont think we would have revenge in mind from when they never payed us our half gate for the playoff game at halton would they??

Now that is exactly the point I was going to make. Really not sure what the point is Widnes are trying to make. Plus there will be four times the amount of Widnes fans also paying to get in - shall we start the queue now

Where to park the coaches is actually a police issue

Moaning scousers - quelle surprise!

Your right, it is a surprise. I thought Widnes was in Cheshire and before that Lancashire? I'll be on the phone in the morning to my son's school to let them know we've moved counties again. I don't know, local government's - who needs 'em!!

Tykes are notoriously thick and unable to read maps. Everybody knows that.

We only have the Widnes club's word that they have asked for tickets to sell, and that they have enquired where they can park the charabancs. Who is to say that this is not just misdirection in order to discredit HRLFC and to create some hype?

Personally, I couldn't give a monkey's.

Well, I don't know about that but I will let you know on Monday if they have given me the correct change after I hand over my £20 note at the turnstyle. But since they were getting 6000 plus crowds when they were in Super League it shouldn't be a problem should it. I fully expect everything will be run smoothly.

Oh yes. We're like the CIA.
