We are attempting to get more tickets in this block, but as of now this section has sold out (in under three hours)!

Tickets in all areas are selling fast, and with news of a lower than expected capacity at Bloomfield Road for the final we would urge fans intending to pay on the day to reconsider. Season ticket holders have until after the game against Halifax to claim their discounted tickets, or until tickets are sold out.

More updates when we have them.

Good and bad news.

We are going to delay putting tickets on sale until midday on Tuesday as opposed to 10am as stated earlier. That’s the bad news.

The good news comes in two parts (with more to follow). The reason for the delay is that we are waiting for confirmation on special offers that will be available to Season Ticket Holders, as well as the possibility of discounts for other groups if they buy from the club.

Please try and be patient - there is no point bombarding the club with questions at this moment as the staff have no answers to give you until tomorrow morning’s marketing meeting signs off on everything.

The second part of the good news is that we will be dedicating part of our allocation as an area for those who wish to, how shall we say, enhance the atmosphere. Noisy supporters should request to sit in this area, while those who wish to watch the match whilst eating a cucumber sandwich should request to sit away from the rabble and we will be happy to accomodate. Seats in this section will be available on a first come, first served basis. More details tomorrow.

Finally, we now know that our allocation is 1500 tickets (West Stand blocks L, K & J, Family Stand Blocks E & D and the North West Stand block H) with the possibility of ‘more if they are available’.

We will have more information on all of the above, plus details of pricing, travel and any other other promotional schemes that are given the go ahead.

Please do try and persuade your friends, families and colleagues to go along even if they have never been before - it’s a big day for both the club and the city and it would be great to see a Salfordian (and Mancunian) invasion of Blackpool that weekend!

Widnes will now be accepting cash payment from REDS FANS ONLY at the East Stand turnstiles.

Tickets are still available from the club and we urge you to pre-purchase your tickets from us as the club gets a percentage of each ticket sale.

Thanks.

Tickets will go on sale for the game in Blackpool on Sunday July 6th at The Willows from Tuesday at 10am.

Tickets are available to personal callers, or over the phone on 0161 736 6564, but please be aware all tickets will need to be collected and will not be posted due to the risk of them going astray in the mail.

We will be finalising our official travel plans early next week and will update the blog as soon as they are confirmed.

Well done to everyone at Bridgend yesterday - team and fans. It was a great day! Let’s make sure we take a big crowd to the final - drag everyone you can along! The lads deserve as much support as possible!

The club have an allocation of tickets for Widnes Vikings v Salford City Reds on 19 June priced at the advance discounted rate of:

Adults £12
Concession £8
Junior £6

Fans are strongly urged to purchase a ticket in advance of the fixture as there is no cash entry at the Stobart Stadium and you will have to purchase a ticket from the ticket office at Widnes should you arrive on the night.

To alleviate potential large queues of ticketless supporters we advise purchasing them from us, and also Salford City Reds make a small amount of money from each sale so some of your spend is going towards helping your own club.

Please also be aware that these are advanced sale prices and entry on match day will be more expensive.

Fans are also advised that the Stobart Stadium is a non-smoking venue and that alcohol cannot be consumed in sight of the pitch, in line with legislation on football stadia.

Big night on Rugby Roundup tonight 6-7PM, Salford City Radio 94.4FM (or online at www.salfordcityradio.org)

We’ll be previewing the this weekend’s Northern Rail Cup semi final against the Celtic Crusaders and will be speaking to Shaun McRae ahead of the game to get the latest team news.

Also Forever Reds’ Paul Parkin should be returning after a spell on his sick bed so if you have anything you want to ask or talk about email us in the studio at studio@salfordcityreds.org and we’ll read out your messages on air and try and play any requests you have.

If you miss it tonight the show is also repeated on Friday 6-7pm and this week during the journey down to Bridgend we’ll be doing a live link up from the fans coach to the Sportzone show on the station…

Cheers,

Paul
