Good luck York, Knights by 8.

Some Widnes fans have already decided who we will face, on the road to the final.

I'm just happy that we're back in the play offs.

We're a bit short on numbers and might be one or two carrying injuries or playing out of position, but I reckon we're probably still a touch better than W. Wales were that day. The only team that's beaten Widnes by a big margin this season was Wakefield - 36-12 at Belle Vue. The team is pretty good at defending the line - they get a lot of practice

Gonna go with York.

I think from a Widnes fans point of view, we don't really have anything to lose at this point. Very few supporters would have expected us to qualify for the Play Offs this season, indeed after a good few years of rubbish I think most fans expected us to be closer to the bottom than the top but here we are, albeit a bit busted with injuries at this stage.

Allan Coleman, what a breath of fresh air he has been for our club. He has completely won the fans over with his enthusiasm and honesty, it's been a really good and enjoyable season. There's a real feel good factor around the club again at the moment and over 50% of our Season Tickets have been sold to new fans, which is good news. 

Big number of Widnes fans heading across to the LNER tomorrow, hopefully a good game and may the best team win.

Good game this plenty of support from Widnes.

[Agbrigg]

Good win by York, unless Fev overcome Bradford then another trip to Belle Vue awaits. 

[Jill Halfpenny fan]

Just back. First of all, well played York, they had a bit too much for us and deserved the win, good luck next week who ever you play. With regards to Widnes, looking at the numbers who travelled and the reception they gave the team at the end it certainly appears they've got the fans back onside.

They definitely did,after the final whistle the fans gave the Widnes players a good 'send off'.

Another great advert for the championship , both sides gave everything and the vocal crowd for both sides made for a great atmosphere.
