It has back fired somewhat as look at the Barrow-Wigan game.. Technically with this rule Wigan season ticket holders should get in free, but Barrow only are allowing them 1000 tickets. Now whether Barrow are on a bit of a swindle or their ground is not big enough thats not for me but it seems unfair how some should get free tickets and others not.

not necessarily,over the past few years crowds for cup games have been considerably lower than SL games.

What about Catalans vs Bradford. The only way the Bradford season ticket holders can take advantage of the free entry for season ticket holders is to buy themselves a flight and probably a hotel, so it costs them more.

That is why I will be watching on the tv.

But will use my season ticket to watch Halifax v Widnes for free

Club have confirmed it is £10 into the Widnes game. (£5 concs, £1 Juniors)

Good move by the club, let's hope it brings the numbers down to the Shay for what promises to be a cracker!!!!!

great news. Well done to both clubs in agreeing to this. Hopefully will ensure a great crowd to generate a winning atmosphere for Halifax!

[iSorry Mick the rules are you can only use your season ticket to watch the team who issued the season ticket, either at home or away[/i

Fantastic News, Hopefully Widnes can market this as well and encourage as many to travel as possible, 8pm Kick Off gives travelling fans an extra half an hour, plus its a friday night so not as many people have work the following morning

I dont think 5000 is an unrealistic target for this game, The fact we've beat them once will make the floaters think it should be a good game to get to.

No tickets on sale,pay at the gate

The power of advertising eh? Just received a flyer for this game from the club by e-mail. The message said: "Please forward to all you know!!!".

So, i forwarded it to a few mates who i thought might stand a chance of saying yes. Remarkably, 3 of them have said they'll go (with the condition that we get plastered in town afterwards). Two of these haven't been to a match since we last played Australia and the other one used to be a regular but stopped going in about 1996.

The advert has worked.
I've done my bit.






Just to add - another said he'd rather poke his eyes out with a hot needle so it's not all positive.

May have already been done, but how about getting this flyer printed in the Halifax Evening Worrier

The 'getting plastered in town afterwards' bit has bought a couple more 'floaters!!

Working on a few more!!

Regarding your mate, I trust you have sent him some needles!?

He's a wendyball fan. Man Utd as well


In fact - i don't think he knows the difference between Rugby League and Rugby Union. I might as well have sent the flyer to Gok Wan.

ads in the courier every day from tomorrow, posters being sent to pubs, amateur rl clubs etc

perhaps someone who knows how could put it on here(malc did know but has forgotten!!!)

poster sent to widnes for them to use too

email it over to richard.brewster@live.com and i'll put it up.

He needn't worry. I'm sure many people would love to poke his eyes out!

I reckon the gate will be nearer 2,000 than 5,000. Can't see more than 300 or 400 Widnes fans making the trip. Like most people, I couldn't give a stuff about the CC.

You still going on about Celtic Crusaders?

When we played Wigan in the CC we got over 6,000 in 2007, but last year we played Hull we got just over 4,000 and in 2006 we played Catalans and got just over 3,000.

In short unless you play a SL team who will bring 2,000-3,000 then the att is going to be the same or less than your average league gate. Good luck on the gate but CC gates are usually a major let down.

That's because the home side "seasonally adjust" the attendance figures in order to make larger charitable donations to the needy. Leeds Rhinos are exceptional charity givers

I don't think your mob brought more than 500 last week anyway, I may be wrong on that though.

At a Quid a Kid that should fetch a fair few youngsters in, and hopefully they can drag their parents along, I'd imagine the community team will be in the schools they visit pushing this for the next week.

You'd think he'd welcome the chance to see a winning team then wouldn't you!?

Widnes 12 challenge cup final appearences + 1 replay.There speaks a man with no respect for tradition or history
