Wouldn't it be nice to have a venue, where the pies only have to travel the same distance as most London fans have to travel to a home game.
Good Options:
Crewe Alexandra
(Main Line from Wigan, only 11.20 rtn, two stops, spread RL word)
MK Dons
(middle of nowhere, to depress everyone off)
Stockport County
( to depress everyone)
Northampton
(small stadium, to spread the word)
we have to have a full stadium, though if at St Helens, maybe they will do a deal and come out for us, though, I think it will be Salford, another town without a station.
Also want Sunday Game, though not a late kick off

I can't seem to find any directions to the ground. A little help?

Nightmare.... There is no longer a train station situated in Leigh, but there are several train stations situated in neighbouring towns that can be reached by bus from Leigh. The nearest train station to Leigh is Atherton, which is served by regular trains from Wigan  
From a football site posted 4.5 years ago. Assuming correct... "The nearest train stations are in Atherton and Daisy Hill, both approximately four miles from the stadium with regular rail services from Manchester and Wigan Wallgate. If travelling to Atherton, the 582 bus service runs past the station at regular intervals (every ten minutes or better) and takes you to Leigh bus station, while the 615 service runs hourly past Daisy Hill station, again terminating at Leigh bus station." www.thefootballnetwork.net/main/ ... 139032.htm |

I can't believe this, how is it considered to be a fair choice of venue? Do the club have any say in this?

I suppose it doesn't fit the narrative for Broncos supporters to actually be present at the game.

Don't be silly the club doesn't even have any say in the location of home fixtures. |

Last time I went there I did it by bus from Manchester. I've never driven there but know someone who got badly snarled going there - limited routes in from the motorway caused problems if my memory is correct. Perhaps allow a little time in case that is still an issue. A prior commitment means I can't make it, enjoy it if you are going. Whilst not ideal by public transport it is possible if you do want to travel.

If we didn't know already confirms where we are within the "rugby league family"

Well f**k my hat, I didn't know that!
Come all without, come all within, we're London Broncos not the H********s!:16679.jpg |

This has got to be one of the most ridiculous decisions made by the RFL - and they make a living out of making ridiculous decisions!
I sort of thought somewhere like Donnie might have been a reasonable choice - it's been used before and it is further than walking distance for the Northern club involved in the tie!

It would be funny if Widnes wins tonight.
Or would the fixture just be relocated to St Helens on that basis? |

On the other hand, the local Leythers hate Wigan with a passion and won't be happy to be hosting them! If we could get a few of them on board we would at least make a noise!
