Looking forward to the long awaited return to Widnes in what could be our toughest game in the Championship so far.  Don't know what The Chemics crowds are like these days but hopefully there will be a good turn out.

More memories of visits to Naughton Park but do recall our 1st game on the plastic pitch in 2012 (poor Richie Mathers' knees ).   Really tight game, in front of over 8k, until Ben Cross threw a wobbler and copped a red card.

Averaging around 2,500, how many are travelling over?

Don't know yet but I read that Widnes have made some changes to away fan allocation in anticipation of a good following.  You probably know more about what restrictions have been lifted/changed?

I believe sections A B & C of the North Stand have been allocated to Wakefield, these have been closed off for the last few home games.  Your probably looking in the region of 1,500 seats in those sections.

Might not be quite as many Trinity travelling fans as usual,seeing it's just after the Wembley weekend and all the extra expense for them going to the 1895 final

Toulouse v Doncaster is supposed to on ViaOccitanie TV. However, this stream is sometime geo-blocked and sometimes not.

I've often watched matches on there without using the VPN, but I think those were domestic French league fixtures.

I guess just try it and see. It's not too bad a picture, and you do get a commentary, but it can be a bit "glitchy"

Got it all on at Toulouse. Missing a couple of form players but the lads who've come in are good players with a point to prove.  COYD
