After yesterdays result this could be a major cup upset! At least we will put up far more of a fight than Salford did against the Saints 😆

And they struggled to beat Huddersfield today. Just a pity it wasn’t a week earlier, when they’d just be back from travelling to Vegas.

I hope the club don’t milk this tie by out pricing the supporters of both clubs.At £15 I think you will get a good crowd at £10 it should be full.👍👍

It should be a good pay day for you.

Nearly four thou there when they were at 'Haven, so half of those from Wire?

They should travel in far bigger numbers now it's just down the road, so the NP tills will be filling up nicely.

Our tickets this year have gone up to £24 which is far too dear 

 

the game is also scheduled for the same weekend as the league cup final which Liverpool are in 

 

this game needs to be moved to avoid that, can't see the club lowering ticket prices though. 

personally I'd have £15 adults, £5 kids and no reason we couldn't get 7,500/8,000 in swelled by an away support of 3,500. 

the club deserves this payday so I hope it doesn't price people out.

Been announced we are going to play warrington at 5-00 on the Saturday. 
Don't know what day/time the majority of Widnes fans would have preferred, a short online poll would have told the club. But instead the club has decided they can’t play on the same day as a local football club are playing at Wembley.

i don’t think the attendance will be as big as it would have been on a Sunday afternoon.

Also Widnes football club are scheduled to play at the stadium that afternoon, does this mean we have to play on the pitch straight after they’ve played, and will have to wait for their fans to leave, before we can get in, or are they going to cancel the football match?

I thought both clubs have to agree to a price?

From BBC page.

BBC Sport will roll back the years to the famous 1985 Challenge Cup Final between Wigan and Hull FC with coverage of the Fourth Round tie between the teams on Saturday March 15th.

The match will kick off at 545pm at the Brick Community Stadium, with coverage on iPlayer, Red Button and the BBC Sport website.

 

Looks like we are up against another RL game👍👍

hope the club don't try and put wire fans in the north stand because there will be plenty out for a day on the ale from both towns that day 😂

They should be on the West/East stands, as we are at Wire.
