How are your ticket sales going?

Over 4500 now so the club shop people have said, I'm not sure what our full allocation is (5000 maybe????)

I believe we were given 5100 as our allocation. Yours should be roughly same. However we have just received an added 800 for the standing area as they are moving the tv screen to make way for more fans so it's looking like at least 6000 from Cas will be there. Can't wait!!!

6k from Cas, 5k from Widnes plus 1000-1500 sponsorship and neutral sounds about right. Exciting times.

We have a permanent big screen and a space for another that doesn't impact on capacity
Just handled 17000 for the Elton John concert so don't worry about parking

LSV is a superb stadium and will make for a great CCSF venue both live and on TV

Best of luck in the semi final - really hope you do well and if nothing else prove this Yorkshire pudding wrong he has written you off without a second thought which is totally dis-respectful

Yet another reason not to like this boring, pig-faced r-sole.

MET SOME Cas fans on holiday in May and they were very dismissive of Widnes at that time. I really hope they and their team continue to underestimate us because IMO, we are well capable of springing a shock. Underdogs will suit us just fine.

Dont tar us all with the same brush. Most Cas fans are well aware that this will be a tough game that could go either way. I for one cannot wait.

I wouldn't criticise your speccies for being confident myself. As close as some have been, five from the last six games have gone to you.

Should be a belter for both sets of fans and hopefully catch the eye of the odd neutral watching the BBC.

I'll not wish you good luck 'cos I think we'll both need it!

Fair comment TS. FWIW, you will be favourites and rightly so but that might just suit us fine. Nothing to lose, get stuck in and should be a great game. Hope you win it if you beat us anyway.

We were the whipping boys like you last year. I don't believe anyone at CAS will take Widnes lightly, if they/we do we'll be out "simple". Widnes had one of the poorest games against Cas quite recently, at least in the 1st half so you can excuse people for getting carried away. We beat Wigan and got smashed week later. It's all on the day that counts and it's nice that Widnes and Cas have shook things up this year and whoever wins its a different team for a change in the final.

There have been spells in both Cas v Widnes games this season when you have been the better side but failed to maintain intensity at the level you showed against Wire. I'm sure that wont be the case in a CC semi so if Brown/Mellor/Hanbury hit top form Widnes can win it and well, no doubt.
