Not denying that and think you will likely get a game or two. My point was simply to the 'better chance than DW' post!
Fred give over and stop making a fool of yourself unless you want a Leyther only board? Just making points & conversation.

| Quote glow="glow"Often wondered how many 'other' fans do actually go to games on the train.
Do trains regularly run on a Sunday from say Widnes to Batley, Hull - Warrington etc? and how long does it take compared to the car?
I'm genuinely curious but not enough to look it up

FWIW me plus around 6-10 do it for every game... Bar yours of course

Sorry J20 but your post was antagonistic and deliberately designed to be so. Either way questioning a moderators decisions is also against the AUP, so he will do as he sees fit.

You'll just have to trust me on this one.

So 10 out of an away following of say 500?
Looking at Jonny's time table you must set off early to games? Changing here there and everywhere and then of course you've got to get from the station to the ground, 15 - 20 minute walk to the DW, not being a trainspotter I don't know if this is typical, furthest or nearest station to ground, but it all sounds a PITA to me.
Sorry Jonny  but I'll stick to the truck

| Quote jonny the leyther="jonny the leyther"Widnes to Batley if you set off at 9:53 would get you there for 12:16, 3 changes though. Return at 16:58 would get you in smogland at 20:06

It would get you to Batley train station at those times, don't forget you then need to get to/from the actual ground, that 16:58hrs departure looks tight
I've used public transport for away games quite a lot, much better option and made it more of a day out and can have a 'proper' drink rather than if I drove, the vast majority of RL fans though drive or go on club coaches so I can never understand this 'poor transport links [iline [/i' (pun intended  ) when hardly any RL ground has a train station next to it.
Leighs transport links are pretty much no better (or worse) than anyone elses, however we do have a big advantage of having the most modern RL ground in the country along with the best facilities, that will be the bit that ensures Leigh does get a world cup game

| I'd say ours is as good as it comes, there's not many you can park on site for free at and although some say it takes 10 minutes to get off it takes longer than that to get to your car at some grounds.
Also at some grounds parking can also be a little iffy, we once got milked  parking near McD's at widnes.

It is about a 20 minute walk to the ground from Batley Station but if you miss that train you could have a pint or two in the Good Real Ale pub just opposite the station.

See Frank get's it! Why leave at 5 when you can have a few swift one's in the cellar bar first? It's Rugby League, make a day of it
