Anyone who watched the game would understand the scoreline flattered Saints, they are nowhere near 38-0 better than us. Dont get me wrong they were far superior, but we wasnt far away. The last 20 minutes when the heads had dropped were what embarrased the scoreline.
Anyway... According to the Widnes forum, we've only sold 82 tickets for tonights game. See below quote.
Quote recordI am sure the advance sales relate to widnes fans.
Isn't it great how the mighty salford with there 7000 plus fans only sell 80-100 tickets, when we taken 1500 approx to their place. Makes me laugh that when they have to buy their own tickets they don't follow, this now convinces me more that figures at salford are exaggerated or tickets given away, as what I seen on camera against saints was not 7000 fans, maybe 7000 tickets were given away and people still didn't turn up '"
1. 7,000 fans they refer to (7,102 actually) included around 850 from Wakefield.
2. There wasnt 7,000 vs Saints, there was 6,300 with around 1,400 from Saints.
3. Why would we exagerate crowd figures?
4. We dont give away any free tickets.
5. When have Widnes ever brought 1,500 to the AJ Bell?
Some deluded scousers over there.
FWIW - I think we'll take 750 ish tonight and a guarntee they'll out sing Widnes "record" pre ticket sale crowd.
