I think his brain thinks we are Crusaders in disguise, and is probably a virgin.

| 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!

| 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!

I agree mate and I will be going even though I think Saints will win comfortably.Widnes fans are too used to Championship prices.Personally I would rather pay an extra £5 to have a better atmosphere and quality.

I know mate. Fully understandable IMO.
If people don't want to go fine, but also a good amount of RL fans don't seem to understand supply and demand

| Well this fan has been put off and I make pretty much all the home and away games.
I'm afraid I have been deterred from going by the price as I think it's exorbitant to charge that much for a friendly game. I think Warrington and Swinton both charged a tenner in?
See you all (metaphorically speaking) on Feb 3rd...

Squads: www.widnesvikings.co.uk/article.php?id=6865
I'd go with:
Briscoe
Flynn
Marsh
Isa
Ah Van
Watts
Hanbury
Cross
Moore
Kavanagh
Allen
Winterstein
Clarke
I'd start Cross as I think he's less likely to suffer an injury if he plays from the beginning!

| To only lose by 18 points is a massive result for the 'Vikings'. Well done.

Paddy Flynn was very good. Was it him who regathered his own chip kick and then booted it to the right, caught by someone else who scored? Brilliant try that. Best one of the night.
It's good to know that a St Helens lad scored the first try at Langtree Park, even though he was playing for Widnes!
