Quite true Keith.

A similar gesture helped in our 24-0 away win at HKR many moons ago too!

Just what the hell is happening this season?

Without a doubt - Widnes players definitely got a lift from the amount of fans they had there today, and I've witnessed the same effect when BWFC have run free coaches to away games.

Very true, it made a massive difference and I think tipped the balance in our favour.

However, SOC didn't pay for the coaches, he approached local businesses to sponsor the coaches and named everyone after a past Widnes great, I went by car but passed the Jim Mills coach on the motorway! Even more of a genius idea when the club didn't pay for them.
