| Quote ="Pepe"When I go on the Wire website doing it, you might have a point. On here is a different story. If Wire trolls feel the need to dish it out here, then I will reciprocate.
The truth is, is that the league leaders shield is worthless and the Challenge Cup has nothing like the prestige it once had. I'm not saying that I wouldn't want Widnes to win either of them, but the be all and end all of Rugby League these days is winning the grand final. Until that is achieved, there can be no real basking in glory on this board.
I think you'll find that St Helens have won that 4 or 5 times now and, at least, make the final every year. Every year the Wire are tipped to win it and every year they don't even make the final. If that's not bottling it, what is?
We'll probably win it before your lot. Now that would be funny
'"
I get your point r.e the grand final. Last year was the only year we were tipped ton win it, not every year mate. We were for 15 or more years before Tony Smith. But to finish top of the league and win two challenge cup suggests that we aren't bottlers. Good luck for the season anyway, great to have the derby and rivalry back.

| Only two things ever need be said in response to wire forays into this most sacred of boards, Kerry Katona and pink building with giant eye . To exchange anymore words with the enemy whose name we do not speak would bring great dishonour upon all true Vikings and the next ten generations of their clan.

Your correction is wrong as £40 cost me for a league game and not £28.Think I know what I paid.

OFFTHECUFF's like one of them wild angry kids, cant control himself in coversation so threatens to knock people out. Perhaps we should nominate him for PM.
One things for sure Mark, its good to have the derby back.

So you were never tipped to win the GF, by people in the RL media and fans, until last season?
I recall you being touted, on many occasions, even under Paul Cullen, to win it.
Will the Wire win it next year, then?

I think we will give you a hiding in one and the other maybe an upset. Similar to Salford last year. Be great that you have 3 years to build and don't have to panic sign to make sure you stay up. I know you have some great kids coming through and you now have the time to see if they have what it takes.

I have no doubt that plenty of hammerings will be dished to us next year but as long as we stick together we should be able to avoid the wooden spoon and build the year after. Ill be intoxicated at your gaff anyhow to mask the pain of the inevitable hammering.

People have tipped us to have an outside at making it before, not till last year have we been serious contenders though. I still think we struggle when playing from behind. If we get 12-0 up were virtually unbeatable, if a team stay close to us, it takes away our ability to play fast, attacking rugby as we don't have the margin for error. If the playoffs were in summer we'd p*ss it. I think next year is our last chance for 3 or 4 years as we will lose Moz and Briers soon. Will take a year or two for a new team to gel.

That was all wires crossed. Someone said, "we're in st helens, it's still 1970, you need to blend in, don't forget your platform shoes and flares" and then there's the inevitable mix up.
Easy mistake!

| Does anyone know how many tickets you have sold for the friendly at Langtree Park, I believe the crowd will be limited to 10,000 for this game and I am curious to see how many tickets we gave to Widnes?

Really can't see Widnes bringing anymore than half a mini bus full to your place for the friendly.
They'll probably bring one or two more for the league game there like.

| I'd imagine Widnes will provide you with 1000 or so speccies, maybe more. I doubt many of them will buy tickets beforehand, unless this is a requirement?

| Friday 13th - don't be unlucky!
The Friday 13th ticket deadline for the Saints versus Vikings game on Friday 20th January is looming.
Given this game is being used as a test-run for certification purposes at Langtree Park the overall attendance has been restricted. The Vikings only have a limited number of tickets available for this annual Karalius Cup fixture and any not purchased from the Vikings Superstore by 3.00pm on Friday 13th January will be returned to St. Helens and consequently freed-up for their own supporters.
Please be aware, this is a ‘Ticket Only' event and there will be no pay at the turnstiles facility or ticket buying opportunity at Langtree Park on Friday 20 January, so act now...or miss out!
FROM THE WIDNES VIKINGS WEBSITE

| Saints have now advised that Widnes haven't taken up all their allocation of tickets and so more Saints fans can purchase tickets for the match. Good job really since we'd pretty much sold out our own allocation. The limit is 12,000.
Sad that more Vikings didn't want to join us, especially as the match is in memory of a great player for both our teams.

| A fair few Widnes fans have been put off by the price (and having to purchase in advance) I believe. Demand probably would have picked up nearer the game but understandable Saints will take them back to sell to demand.

I doubt Saints could have sold on the gate at this match as it is to secure a safety certificate so I would imagine they will need to know in advance that they are under the agreed limit. As for the price, that debate has been done to death I think!
