I actually live in Lincoln. My holiday destination is to Cuba and not to Wakefield this time mate.

You don't need to get away from Widnes for the afternoon then, you've already escaped

Yeah definitely matey. On a serious note I would not like to live in either of the places to be honest, as Wakefield is just as bad

Every year since Widnes came up their fans have caused nothing but trouble and not just for us. If they want to stay away then good riddance

I would.t carry on too much if I were a Widnes fan as their playing surface is something that would be better outside a fruiterers. Would this also be the playing surface that has recently raised concerns in football about the amount of toxins present in the turf? People who live in glass houses and all that!

Short memories a lot of these away fans. Without a kindly local council or a soccer team they'd be in the same boat as us.
I go to a game to see the action on that big green space, I couldn't give a toss about, bogs, bars, food outlets, although I will occasionally use them.

Have to agree there mate, I don't think I've ever decided not to go to a game because of the state of the away teams ground.
To be honest, I couldn't give a stuff about what state someone's ground is in, if my team are playing that's what I'm there to watch. If there's a roof that keeps me dry if it's raining it's a bonus, but bearing in mind that at Belle Vue I choose to stand in front of the covered area in the North Stand even if it's bucketing it down, then it is purely a bonus and not in any means a requirement.

Poor excuses not to support your team in my opinion.

Re: Widnes fans views on Trin : Wed Feb 03, 2016 12:59 pm  

We've got 9 coaches coming up on Sunday through the 'normal' coach providers, plus privately run coaches. So I'd expect around 600-800 Widnes there on Sunday.

My main gripe with Belle Vue is the view. I much prefer old grounds such as Cas, Bradford etc but Belle Vue is by far the worst of the grounds we visit. If and when the bench stand up you can't see past them regardless of where you stand on the terrace.

I dont think the ticketing prices is too bad, but the lack of student/young adult/concession is wrong in my opinion.

Can't complain about the comments regarding the ground or the pricing, I don't think. If we had ourselves a nice new stadium and we were going to play away somewhere equally as bad, I'm sure most people here would have a pop about it aswell.

Well, there's not much to be done about it to be honest at this moment in time. Sadly the club can't whip up a new stadium just for sunday. Widnes fans can whine as long as they want, at the end of the day theyll be two scenarios on Sunday - one is they'll turn up and support their team (and keep their fists to themselve) standing where they are allocated, the other is don't bother coming.

Absolute garbage all clubs have their idiots just like Wakefield. I admit some of our fans are idiots, and I have had arguments with a few of ours too. You can't tar everyone with the same brush and there will be a few going still. On these forums they attract non fans too. Last year I was at Wakefield and their was no trouble at all.

You certainly did us over on the pitch and we don't want any of that on Sunday
