Um, last I looked Saints and now Widnes are both in the Superleague. Both teams have stated they are putting out full strength sides. Therefore, it is a Superleague match. It just isn't a league game; it's a friendly.

And our standard price for the away end is £20. You pay £20 to stand out in the wet at Cas. £20 is pretty much what everybody charges now; more in the seated stands (usually £25 in that case).

Yes, well whilst you supporters of stagnant teams who have grown complacent in your comfy seats at the top table from day one, with your antiquated notions of buying tickets each week - are busy paying £20 + each week, supporters of progressive teams like us will be getting excellent value for £18 per month with the stronghold

It's not a super league match because it's not in the super league. It's a friendly match.

But it is two Superleague clubs. When it is two Superleague clubs it tends to be full price. If you were still in the Championship, we would be paying a tenner.

In other words, it's your fault that we're paying full price!

Yes it's only a freindly 20 Quid ;[

As a supporter of neither side i find it bizzare that a big club like St Helens would pick,with all due respect, a no-mark club like Widnes for such a historic game. It's no like their rivals or ever have been.

If it's a derby they wanted then surely there's better options than the Vikings?

I find it bizzare that a bellend such as yourself still expects to be taken seriously on here.

clearly not loved enough as a child.

How much is it to get in?

I believe that they wanted to launch their stadium, in a prestigious manner, with two former World Club Champions going head to head. They thought about Wigan, but they play them too many times now and it is making their main derby game that little less special. They thought about Bradford and Leeds, but came to the conclusion that the local derby we now play in pre-season (The Karalius Cup) would bring in more fans.

Obviously, Warrington wouldn't be in a position to be considered.

Nonsense. Widnes are more than welcomed to be our first opponents by Saints fans and we're pleased to see our near neighbours back in the big time. I just hope our traditional Easter Monday derby is resurrected.

As for 'no rivalry',well i can say back in the mid-80s when i first started to be took to RL games as a kid, Widnes were always regarded as our 2nd biggest game after Wigan,and were for years after that until the demise of Widnes. We are neighbouring towns so there will always be local rivalry at stake.

Can't wait for this one. Got a tough decision to make where to stand on the day though. Girlfriend and her family all mad Saints fans!

Nonsense is par for the course for a Brucie posting RS.Nobody takes him seriously,except himself.
