From a financial, and selfish point of view, I hope you're right mate, but I'm not holding my breath,

There's plenty of parking spaces in the side streets around the ground, so please turn up in your numbers!

See you tomorrow.

Spelly.

Well perhaps not a record attendance, but it was certainly cosy in there! Felt almost like being at home when there were no pies left by half-time! 😜

Spelly,  do you know what the attendance was yesterday? Looked as though there were 1,500-2000 there, but not sure how many were in the box/bar behind the posts.

According to the LE it was 1358.
about 500 from Widnes, so I’ve been told

Enjoyable day out on what has been a crunchie Show of a season (with the odd exceptions).

Always a friendly place to watch a game of RL, sadly we won't be going next season (unless Big Ralph and his henchmen move the goalposts, again).

Hurry on back, Swinton, and good look with the bar tips, Spelly!

There looked to be more Widnes fans there than Swinton ones. There were 3 sections of the stand that were nearly full of Widnes fans, and a few in the terracing on the other side.

At a guess, I'd say 60/40 in your favour mate, and the finance you brought us, is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Spelly.

Seemed more Widnes Fans than Swinton, I was stood on the terracing and the main stand was mostly Vikings. With a good number of us in the sheds on the terracing.

 

Nice Stadium to visit and the Swinton Fans seemed a decent bunch to boot.
