Re the attendance, I think having Warrington playing on the same afternoon is sheer stupidity on the part of the fixture planners.

Because Warrington fans regularly go to Widnes games? |

| Quote: Old Feller "Yes, the atmosphere was good & the home fans got behind their team.
But I was disappointed at the number of home fans in attendance.
The East stand was empty & the North & South stands both less than 2/3rds full.
Just over 6000 there including about 2,500 travelling Rhinos fans to see the WCC & SL Champions.
Those numbers do not make the club sustainable in the long run.
After the club fought so hard to get back into SL not good IMV.'"
Yes indeed
Widnes have a long rugby league history and since they clearly can't hack it in the top flight, it is high time they were shipped out to the national leagues and replaced with a team in one of the development areas for the game.
North Wales seems an area, not too far from the heartlands, that is ripe for picking ! |

That's fair enough, but it's not enough for anyone to call it stupidity on the part of the fixture planners though. I think they have enough to consider. |

I wasn't questioning it because I disagreed with him, I was genuinely interested to know how he was able to produce such a precise figure i.e what was the source of his information.
Nothing more sinister nor quibbling than that.
HTH
Re the Wolves game, I also wondered at that since they too play on a Sunday, whereas both Saints & Wigan - both relatively close neighbours - play generally on Friday nights.
In the 70s & 80s when Widnes were so successful they regularly attracted crowds I'd have thought well in excess of Sunday's game.
I was not being critical of the club & I'm well aware of the size of Widnes relative for instance to Cas, the size of whose crowds Widnes should be aiming to emulate or even exceed given the capacity & state of their stadium.
Far from it, I was being supportive of their efforts unlike the locals.
They moaned like mad when they didn't get in last time but aren't turning up now that they are.
