If you want to believe 7,000 Saints fans travelled to a rival town, good on you! as long as it keeps you happy.

7K Saints fan, so not one away supporter, only one person from Widnes, as he wore a Widnes shirt! the land of make believe

10,514 v Warrington
6,050 v Harlequins (no away support)
7,676 v Bradford (less than 1k away support)
7,740 v Hull KR (less than 1k away support)
7,003 v Wakefield (freezing Friday night TV game, tiny away support)
8,010 v Cas (500ish away support)
6,752 v Crusaders (200ish away support + unattractive game)
9,062 v Leeds
11,540 v Wigan
7,053 v Hull (500ish away support)
7,076 v Catalans (no away support)
6,421 v Hudds (few hundred away support, TV game)
7,377 v Salford (few hundred away support)

So much for 'less than 6,000 travelled to Widnes'

Interesting. Looking at that teams playing London at home attract more away support that went to Saints games in Widnes. How do you know what the away support was anyway? Oh.... and I was at the Q***s game so a London support of one

Didn't you read that he only saw one person wearing a Widnes jersey! and I presume no one wore the away team that was visiting them, it was a failure of a season and one that knocked the club financially back, otherwise such as the cladding would have been done well before now on the ground!

Get off your Saints hatred horse and look at the stats I presented. And why would thousands of Widnes fans be packing the Saints stands when they had their own team to support?

If you read properly! rather than getting yourself over excited! I never claimed that it was just Widnes supporters you never seem to have allowed for away supporters! There is still no getting away from the point that the St Helens owner expected much better support at Widnes from Saints fans that was received, that is not hatred just fact. Anyway this is a London Broncos forum and we are discussing one game we are playing at Gillingham!

You! Brought it! Up! If! You! Make barking mad! Statements like that! You need to be prepared to be challenged! By People! LOL!

Getting back to the point in hand...

I don't care much about the state of Gillingham and the lad I'm going with has been plenty of times when his football team (Brighton) had the misfortune of being stranded there for a while, so he'll know his way between the station and the ground. Sound.

Now to important matters; how much do you reckon it will cost on the turnstile to get in, and which stand has the best bar? I'd rather be in a stand that's quieter and/or more neutral than the main away end (if there is one). Thanks in advance!
