Thanks, not sure what to do about getting tickets for the Widnes match, surely the game will be on?
They're saying the Leeds match could be the last match at Odsal, not the last match, which makes me think Widnes could be the last match if the target isn't met?

Doc holliday wat tosh u talk. Firstly the oconner haulage comany had sponserd widnes for many many years. Secondly mr o conners welth came about by selling his company to stobarts. At which point he then stepped into the frame of the vikings since having his own money. Thirdly he is an employee of stobarts just like any driver so its nt his buisness he is promoting . Forthly his connections with stobarts have helpë widnes get a big local sponser at the club. Granted he said his 1st team was liverpool when he first come on board. But the passion and close family atmosphere and fans mixing with each other opend his eyes. He can be seen at many away matches last season with his son standing with the widnes fans. Widnes problems b4 soc çame on board was poor business managment we have now got that in place. Hopefully within the next 5 years we can be competing for honours with a sound self financing club. I hope the bulls come through this coz as a fan its horrible to go through . Hope u bring. Two thousand plus fans on monday both to chear ur team and also as a thank you to soc

I know people who know Steve O'Connor well.

He is a genuine fan. Widnes are fortunate to have him. And I am dead jealous.

I have always had a very soft spot for Widnes. I used to know a few people over there, and I used to talk to former chairman the late Tony Chambers - a really great guy - online in chatrooms. He used to post as "Chairman" on Leaguechat. He was one hell of a guy. Taken by cancer well before his time.

I doubt I will get over on Monday. But those who do...you should give a huge rap to O'Connor IMO. I can tell you the Board are more than a bit grateful for his support. He gets Hero status in my book.

Did you go to St Joseph's? I'll bet you did!

They're nice set of people, no doubt about it.

Cheers mate and ashame you not coming Widnes as we would welcome you lot with open arms.
