Hope you parked okay , we arrived in leigh at ten past 1 this afternoon , queued up for half an hour to be told the main car park was shut (as we expected by the way ) the steward then told us that we would get a space at pennington flash (as mentioned above) where we queued up for another 20 mins or so to recieve the message from a steward " the car park is ram packed, you can wait half an hour for a space if you want, you will have to try the local streets" by the time we found a space and walked from lowton high school it was 5 minutes till kick off ... is this one of the reasons why they dont get considered for super league ? was shocking . many people had the same problem as we did as they turned up 20 mins or so late..

You are not wrong. I arrived in Plenty of time... Roads were chocka. I saw the sign for overflow parking at Pennington Flash, that will be the safest be I thought. Wrong, full!

So had to drive past the ground. As expected stadium car park was full.

But a couple of observations....

- No footpaths by the main road
- A new Morrisons car park locked up and completely empty.

Who designs these towns I ask myself? I found myself turning into a right Victor Meldrew as KO time was approaching!

Anyway, I found a side street and just made KO.

Of course it is not Leigh's fault. The RFL put the game on and they ought to have had signs saying that car-parks were full and people directing you to where you could park.

I look forward to my visits to the LSV next year when I have no problem parking at the ground

What amazed me most was to see the old Hilton Park location completely empty. I mean, what a waste.

I was hardly moaning
