Was thinking about going, but then realised that the England game was on the same night, so kicked it into touch.
I know it's been aired before on the forum, but the RFL are mad putting an international on the same day as the England game - it should have been on the Friday night

I live in Manchester and was hoping to to take my daughter to her first International - and have the opportunity to see Leigh's new staduim.
However, we don't have a car and rely on public transport - and the staduim is a complete 'mare to get to be it by train or bus. Over 2 hours each way!!
Shocking!!
Does anyone have any ideas???

Do buses still go to Leigh from Birchwood train station. If so that would be quicker.
Its not bad marketing from the RFL to have the game on the same day. If England do hammer France and the wendyball team beat USA then it should gain extra media coverage as it "Great day for English sport" days.

He will deserve it if he contributes to a winning performance.
Clearly he has never done this in the past and thus has never deserved to be in a final, i suspect that the same scenario will occur tomorrow.:30555.jpg |

We will be lucky to get any coverage at all. Majority of papers/tv will be covering the world cup with England and nothing else. |

Depends on whereabouts in Manchester you are, but try the train from Victoria to Atherton and then you can get the bus from outside the station to Leigh (10 minutes away at the most). |

its a shame it clashes with the footy, unlike some on here i love England Football and the world cup is the best it can get so i will miss out on the trip to LSV. I found it a spot on ground when we played in the friendly apart from the dodgy foreigners not topping the beer up and then acting all dumb when i told them "top it up".

Thats 30 mins to get bk to Wigan (or wherever) and in a pub, and what decent pub will have space at kick off time??? I can fully understand why people arent going. I will be going but i'll be leaving 10-15 mins early to get bk and watch it.. |

As mentioned tyou might be better getting the train to Birchwood then the bus from there. 28 runs every hour past Birchwood Station, takes about 15 mins to get there, only problem is getting back (would have to get bus to Warrington). LSV is a 10 minute walk, or two mins on the bus if you are lucky.

Also there is some good pubs so no excuses  |

Never been to Leigh, but I imagine it's not the easiest place to get to.
I reckon they should have played this game in Wigan, and aimed for a massive crowd with cheap tickets. Either that or Warrington which has excellent rail links, so would enable more people to get home in time to watch the football.

I'm going - Getting the bus from Warrington bus station and walking to the ground from Leigh bus station. Google maps reckons it takes about 15-20 minutes walking.
I'm looking forward to it - any idea on how many are going in general?
