Union season starts--the Wids not available and being a double header will save us money.

It was mentioned that the U20's will be playing at most the first team games next year.

Most SL clubs seem to be have been playing their U18 games prior to the main event even when they are playing Friday or Saturday for TV.

can't believe you would contemplate watching the dire v the pies !!!!  and have the academy boys play at the wids instead of what will be a dream for most of the young lads . Well done the Vikings for organising and giving some of the lads the chance to play on their hallowed turf . I know it was annoying some who had witnessed a academy Saints team get the opportunity earlier in the year whilst our academy had to play at New Brighton. Will be a great day for the boys and well deserved for their hard efforts this year. Can't wait to cheer them all on EXPECT A CRICKET SCORE !!!! then we can all see which current Premiership side have made REAL BIG strides .

pleased with this, flying in from Cape Town on the 3rd September so should be up for a good day on Sunday

Delighted by this as it will be the first time some of our players will have ever played at the Stobart and others have not played there since they were 9.

Sheffield have been on the end of some big defeats and hopefully Widnes will be able to end their season in real style.

I remember going to a Sts V Widnes under 18's game a few years back with the game being played before a Sts first team game and we were made to pay for a full price Sts ticket even though we had no intention of staying to watch their game - im not sure if all clubs operate this policy though ?

Think we played Leeds last year or the year before and they made you pay full price. But gave you a refund upon leaving if you left before the main event.

Will definitely turn up early. Can't get to Saturday games as a rule so having a Sunday double header is fantastic.

Sounds like a plan  

Wonder what will happen to this game if the first team gets moved to the Thursday night?
