Are Widnes expecting to take many fans to this? I know it might not be seen as a major trophy, but it's still Widnes at Wembley so I'm guessing they will. I'm also guessing that although a large number of fans only watch their own team's game on multi-match days, the majority will definitely go in and watch the Challenge Cup final. Given who the teams in that final are, it could be quite lively to say the least!
I think it's a good concept though, and could potentially add 10,000 on to the Wembley gate if Widnes fans really buy into it.
They bought into the semi final in large numbers, added to a tremendous atmosphere, and (rightly) celebrated in style when they won. After the horrors they have endured, this season, I would expect them to attend the final in numbers too.
I hope they (and Sheffield fans) enjoy a well-deserved day out.
