You a Saints fan now Doc?

Yes. Moved back to Liverpool and the bus stops just down the road. Also, if I'm in work on lates, I get get the train from Lime Street. The bus to Warrington is fairly handy too.

No premiership football in Cas but Leeds who have a larger home support than alot of the Premiership a few miles away ?

As for Widnes, I always remember as a teenager Naughton Park being full. But then I suppose it was an old stadium with quite a small capacity so yeah, point taken. Out of interest, whats Saints average home gate in relation to the towns population ?

True - and though I find it hard to believe many Cas fans are also Leeds United supporters: even season ticket holders in the case of some Cas friends of mine.

Oh well,please yourself.I didn't realise Widnes was so difficult to get to from Liverpool.Myself,I couldn't drop my team for another.I notice people who switch allegiance from one club to another rarely choose a less successful team to support.You never hear of a Wigan fan throwing in the towel and going to watch Leigh instead.I suppose if Widnes were top of Super League with Saints languishing mid table in the Championship you would still be a fan of theirs because it's closer.

"We all hate Widnes!" Sing the Wire fans! But they weren't singing this when Widnes stepped forward to play them in the Mike Gregory testimonial game. What a bunch of ******** they are!

Spot on Ron. At least when we play post try music its not to sing our hatred for our arch rivals. Proves they are still bitter all these years on. Arrogant nice people.

Not sure about Saints mate but the last time Naughton Park was full it had the best part of 19000 there for the Championship decider V Wigan in 1989.

It was on Granada that. Steve McCurries debut? or am I thinking of another game.

It's not closer. It's easier to get to. Apart from that, Steve O'Connor tols me and my lad to **** off at the Halifax play-off game in 2008 when we asked him why he was changing the match days from Sunday to Friday, so we ****** off. By the way, your Chairman had no interest in his home town rugby teal for 42 years so when it comes to glory hunting, we're not in the same league as him. Enjoy next Saturday. I'm sure I will!

Cheers mate! I watched them for 32 years so I hope they do well. Met a lot of nice people in Widnes down the years.
