Quote: DaveTwentyman "Just to add to what I was saying, Widnes pulled in 3000 odd in for a televised derby game this evening. Featherstone pulled in 4000 odd.'"
Lot of protest stay aways yesterday due to the inept display against Badfraud. Throw a Liverpool v Everton FA Cup semi final, The Grand National + a tea time televised kick off and that's the attendance you're gonna get.
As I said on the VT, if Widnes could guarantee that effort and commitment for every game there would have been double that crowd figure. Fev were always going to pull in a decent crowd against their biggest rivals in a one off game. You can't guarantee when they're gonna play each other again so folks will turn out to see it. If people thought Fev would have won before the game then another few thousand may have turned out at Post Office Road.
We play Saints again this Friday.
