Guide to the Stobart Stadium Halton

[Bainsey]

That is the reserve stadium.

Location - Ditton, Widnes
Prices - Season Ticket Holders - FREE, Adults £4, Children and Concessions £2 (Pay on the gates)
Pubs - Cricketers Arms on the corner of the stadium next to Ladbrokes. 'The Albion' at the end of the road, about 10-15 minutes away.
Capacity - 13,500
Eating - McDonalds on the same road aswell as 'Pauls' Chippy

Parking - There is limited spaces in the Car Park attatched to the Stobart Stadium, however this is literally limited.

Parking at McDonalds is not recommended as your car will be clamped. Free parking at the Car Park to St.Michael's fields, no further then a 2 minute walk from the stadium (no further then Everton club shop to the Church at goodison for example)

Seating - New stadium means unobstructed views, and more of less brilliant view in any stand.

Only South stand is open for reserve games (around 3000 seats), North stand open due to popular demand (Mini Derby)

I live a joyful skip away, so any more questions then ask me.

Be great if you could be the official GOT roving reporter covering reserve team games. Do they play youth team games there as well?

 

[Bainsey]

lol. bastards.

Its free parking on St.Michaels field, also you can park right along Dundalk road, which is still only a minute walk.

Park outside my house and i'll have you's though

Youth games arn't played there, only reserves. The stadium also has cheerleaders, two of them are my friends from school and college lol.

Heres a few more images from watching Widnes and Everton.

Good thread this Bainsey. Got any more pics of eitther you or the cheer leaders?

 

[Bainsey]

lol nah.

See you had some pics from a Widnes v Wigan game there. Given the number of ex Wigan players playing for Widnes there isn't really much difference, but which team do you follow?

 

[Bainsey]

Not many Wigan players there now, since they went into administration they lost 90% of their players. Only kept Mark Smith, Gavin Dodd, Paul Noone, Bob Beswick and Dean Gaskell from the team that lost out in the final to get to super league.

I of course living in widnes support the Vikings.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Be nice if you got back into super league, Widnes were always a big club and challenged Wigan in the 80's. Not sure where it all went wrong for you.

 

[Bainsey]

Getting relegated so the RL could reduce the size of Super League, getting promoted to be relegated two years ago to allow Catalan a French team into Super League.
