Does that mean Widnes are moving out?
I seem to remember hearing their lease is due up soon

City of Liverpool will play at Widnes Vikings Rugby League ground from next season.

Well this news will enable them to complete in the play-offs in they make them.

But I wish the good luck with their new deal.



Not as bad as Vauxhall’s to get to, but getting the the DCBL stadium from Liverpool city centre - where i suspect most of CoL’s fan base originates from - is far from easy.

And as others have said it’s an utterly soulless place to go to.

I don’t wish any other fans owned club Ill-will, but i suspect that they’ll find it difficult next season, irrespective of what league they are in.

Artificial pitch. And there is a period from October to February when Vikings don’t play.

So theoretically all three clubs could play there

i may have misheard or even dreamt this one but I thought/think Widnes are building themselves a new ground ?? Could be why C of L are coveted replacements

You’re not wrong Stuart but I don’t think that this is going to happen in the short term
 
thanks for confirming that one for me James,, grey moment from me ! Ian Ross is of coarse ex Chairman (? or fundings man) at Barnton. I think they have him to thank for the floodlights and some ground improvements, hence elevation from the Cheshire league. It certainly looks like he's serious about a new ground etc and Widnes are no mugs, good manager, play-off potential etc so thats a fair old legacy to Widnes if he one day did a disappearing act, so fair play to the bloke.
 
Former Accrington assistant Jimmy Bell had taken interim charge of Saturdays opponents Clitheroe until the end of the season

Certainly didn't look like a title winning side yesterday. Completely outplayed.

Probably taking it easy now promotion is in the bag😁
Big big game next Saturday for you. Having VM as the venue probably doesn’t do you any harm either.

Yes I'd agree with that. Certainly prefer to play them on a grass surface.
Wasn't overly impressed with the surface at Widnes earlier in the season

Not denigrating Albion’s performance as I wasn’t there, but re Leek it might have been a case of taking their foot off the gas.
