Welcome to Widnes 2011 : Mon Jan 10, 2011 7:06 pm  

Has anyone else received this email from the clubs official email service today? Whilst helpful and I applaud the club for looking after it's supporters it doesn't paint a pretty picture of Widnes...


Mind you I found the 'how to survive after dark in Widnes' guide pretty useful.

It doesn't have a seating plan on it as such. But it does show which stand is which, if you see what I mean.

Saddened! Love the pic! Not quite the image that landed in my inbox.

No, it's Widnes. McDonalds is at the end of that road by the roundabout.

Still looks better than our town. The difference being not everything is up for sale.

As you look at that picture at the top of the page, North os on the left, east dead ahead and South on the right. The dugouts and tunnel is middle of the South Stand.

Must say, the prices are ridiculous, of which I would assume have been decided by Saints. How much was it at Knowsley Road?

The prices no doubt include an extra profit element to Halton Council for the use of the stadium. Unlike our deformed cousins Wigan paying rent to a third party isn't something we're used to doing.

I am suprised (but pleased) that Saints have decided to delegate the West Stand as the "away end" rather than the East Stand. Only leaves just over 10k "home" tickets so I can see some disappointed "home" fans missing out or paying top whack for the bigger games.

What drop in average attendance do you expect? I'd expect a drop of 1,500 from the average if your missing our on a couple of 17,000 crowds.
