If we agree there were about 15-1600 Bulls Fans (about just over half full in West Stand) it just shows what a shrewd businessman the Widnes Chairman is, not that I want to take anything away from his gestures, but knowing we were his next home game he generated an empathy between the clubs by donating cash and tickets to the tune of £22k ensuring more Bulls Fans at the game!
If the walk up was about 1000 on top of the 600 donated Widnes probably covered the cost of the donations today via turnstiles and the refreshment bars, and generated a crowd for possibly one of their potentially poorer box office events today.
As I said I don't want to make light of the gestures and Widnes were very hospitable today on and off the pitch, I just wish our Chairman had been that savvy for the past 6 years
