to quote Eric Morecambe............" RUBBISH"

Actually he was ok, tried hard with little service and defended as well as can have been expected.

Huddersfield are a very good side and I was expecting to get beat yesterday but watch to your team get beat like that was hard to take. Hopefully it will give a us a kick up the backside for the Salford game and with Watts, Clarke, Briscoe and Marsh potentially back we could see our first win next Sunday.

This is a long term project and although I know we will get a few good spankings along the way, I'm just happy to be here in SL.

How many did we take? That stand holds 4000. It wasn't half full but maybe a quarter full IMO so around 1000?

I would say no more than 700 - 800.

762 widnes fans

Keep at it you Widnes lot. Great to see you back where you all belong in the top league and lets hope its a swift return to those glory days of the seventies and eighties for your fine club.

Remember this is a 3 year journey. Disappointed you might be, but you've plenty of time to get things right. All the best for the future.

dont be too down folks, like has been mentioned, we know what it's like to be hammered like that ,we had 5 years of it!
im sure once you find your feet you'll be ok, you have some decent players ( as well as ah van )im sure you'll surprise a few teams this year, you just ran into the C+G MACHINE yesterday.
well done on the 700 who made it over and gave a good account of yourselves and stayed until the end.

You can never really accurately guess the number of away fans in grounds where you can buy tickets on the gate.

I wouldn't dream of going in an end if I could watch from the side, and judging from the reaction of quite a few people sitting near me I wasn't the only Widnes fan sat at the sides. You can probably add another couple of hundred to the 700 estimate.

the 762 was the official number from the JS stand !!.....doubt there were anywhere near 200 in the side !

Dickhead!

You can't really be more than a bit embarrassed by that score line to be truly honest. Yes we are new and growing (all things I have said many times) but that doesn't effect it.

Positives are the away atmosphere was pretty good in numbers and voice and in an odd way the players effort wasn't really questioned and they did try to keep going. Our huge weakness was just a pure lack of shape out wide. Whether that is due to players out / moved or a more core issue (Mr Betts) will soon be known. As I always say in any scenario like this it's all about how you respond to this result to see how far you have come / can go and Salford on Sunday is a great chance to put that right.

Cheers for good wishes messages from Hudds fans especially. Enjoyed the day around the place as I tend to do I must admit

We were only saying yesterday that there was about 800 away fans. Didn't realise we had some on the sides too. Not a bad following considering cold weather.
