When I went to watch you lot at Salford in the league game when you thrashed them. I was sat in the east stand with a lovely couple from Leeds and a Salford fan. We had a lovely evening and at the end the fella from Leeds shook our hands and I said that it would be good if we drew you in the challenge cup. Well we have and if the gentleman reads this board I will be in the west stand north end near the middle. Hope all you lot have a safe journey both ways and looking forward to the game.

Has anyone got any other pub suggestions or is the Goose the best for atmos and Ale?

Noticed a couple of pubs closer to the ground but don't know if there still open or any good (Bridgewater Arms???, The Bridge Inn???, The Britannia, The Ellesmere)

Any info would be good!

Bridgwater and Bridge Inn both shut. The Britannia and the Ellesmere (now known as the Centurion) are on the way to the ground from the town centre so I'd suggest starting in the town centre and then popping in on your way past!
Plenty of pubs in the town centre which is only a short hop across the canal bridge from the Centurion (Goose is 10 minutes walk from the stadium with plenty more pubs in the immediate vicinity). If it's a nice day then the Waterside Inn has canal-side dining areas and does decent food and ale, although the Goose is much busier on a matchday (and is my usual matchday haunt).

For Pubs (and for food) go to either:
Goose, Yates (Lord Street) and The Waterside - these are about 10-15 mins walk to Stadium, Centurion, Britannia and Ellesmere already mentioned.
There is also the Harvester on the Parsonage Retail Park (where Sainsburys is) - on the other side of Leigh.
Robin Hood (near Fire Station) park there and you can walk to the Stadium.

This is what Rugby is all about.
Great rapport with the fans a bit of banter and sharing ideas where to go for a beer and a meet up before the game.
Well impressed with the Leigh guys so far.

Is the game not televised at all then???

Sorry if this has been answered in previous messages...

No mate.

get to leigh east before the game and help an amature club out along the way

if anyones getting the train to atherton then phone call a car 01942888111 - there a cheap taxi service
Hilton Park/Thomas Burke/Avenue/George and Dragon/Goose/Cheers/Centurion all in a nice line. 20 minute walk unless your hammered.

Safe journey, i'll bring you all some tissues

All you Leythers seem a decent lot

And have a serious drink problem judging by our pub obsession

You lot do like a bloody drink don't you?! Good effort

Just read on Twitter that we have by all accounts sold 2k tickets.
