Anyone now what the admission prices are for

Thanks for that. Shame that the club (again) managed to get it wrong.

Apparently no "student" entry for today's game because Widnes wouldn't agree to it. That's fine, but why the heck can't the club update the information on our web-site (I don't begrudge the extra £3 for my son, but don't see why I should need to have the discussion with the turnstile operator having checked before I went to the game). It keeps on feeling amateurish when mistakes like this are made. The same with the (absent today) big screen and Fax TV. Good ideas, but if we don't have the wherewith all to make them slick and professional then we really shouldn't bother.

Rant over, the boys did us proud today.

Funny you should say that because i too had problems getting into the ground today. having seen the poster with it on i was annoyed to find out about the lack of student tickets today.

having found this out we decided to just get on with it and pay full price instead to then find out that the card machine didn't work. Luckily my dad had some cash on him otherwise diehards like us wouldn't have been able to see the match. I appreciate they were probably rushed today but the ticket office is the first impression most get of the club and my experience today led me to believe there's no real communication between different departments on matchday

I would think the big screen is part of a sponsorship for only league games. I paid £20 to get but my lad was free with his season ticket. I wonder how
Many Widnes supporters knew about this. The above linked helped me (thanks) and I am regular reader of the clubs site but did struggle to find this a first. Not that it matters now but admission Prices could be put on a news item 3/4 days before the match.

A slightly cheeky/cynical thought maybe, but if I was running the marketing side of an entertainment business (which clubs like Fax are), then I'd be all over all the communication channels that were being used. More than one disappointing experience reported here so let's see what the club have to say?

But it was £20 well spent in my case.

Didn't buy a beer today as queue was too slow.

Not sure how things not work with only 2032 at game. Attendance poor. More at Oldham and 1000 more at Dewsbury. Cup not pull in anymore.

It was a poor attendance but not helped by a low turn out from Widnes I would guess around 300 came over?
Both Oldham and Dewsbury were playing much better supported teams Warrington & Wigan hence why their crowds were much higher!
I agree the Cup is no longer the pull it was but also feel that these are truer crowds as they are full paying speccies not league games with freebies and all tickets issues counted!

Don`t forget that Widnes have lost 6 games on the bounce too , there may have been some of their fans who decided to stay at home .

Probably best way to see fan base would be to see how many came to each clubs home game agains Eagles and Broncos as the away fans do come in a taxi
