Would have preferred to go by train from Lowton

i am going via train, from wigan, does anybody know if there is a bus from station to bloomfield rd, its not because i'm a lazy sod but for my poor old dad with his dodgy knees honest

Just get a tram from the North Pier to the South Pier.

Tell your dad to show his pass. You will have to pay tho Stephen.

another point i meant to make, people travelling to blackpool will porbably be travelling via northern rail, i wonder if the rfl and the sponsors thought of doing some sort of discount on your fare if you had a final ticket. just a idea

Not if you live in Appley Bridge

Nozzy will only be getting in at around 4am Sunday morning so its the 12.14 from Pieland for us

And big Nozzy has come back to his "egg chasing" roots just for the day - unless we can convince him BWFC is the wrong option

Bring it on!!!!!

Cant understand why go on the train and have to get to Wigan to get on the train.
Its only £10 non lisa MEMBERS and £8 LISA members return on the coach.
How much is it on the train return?

Its a lot dearer www.northernrail.org/journey/planner

Dick, some people cant stand coach travel, some people enjoy trains, some people want the flexibility of when to go and when to return - there choice but they are going and have bought tickets.

It would take me forever get from Appley Bridge to Leigh and then back again at the end of the day.

For any Leigh fans living in Bolton, Wiggin, Chorley etc it is a no brainer to get the train.

I think going on the train adds to the final being summat different to the usual away games. Plus I'm staying Sunday night anyway.

6 of us going from Wigan 10.15

Me and the girlfriend getting the 9.40 first class to Blackpool Pleasure Beach, spend all day there. Night round Blackpool, if we survive will reach our Hotel. Then pub crawl to the game on the Sunday
