I see the neutral venue has a Wigan post code!
Leigh Sports Stadium Sale Way, Leigh WN7 4JY

Stinks

Being a Leigh fan, it's horrid that the Pies will be playing (currently beating Widnes 42-4) at Leigh. But we are one of the largest town's in Europe with out a train station. Surely St.Helens/Warrington/Widnes (now they are not involved) or even Salford would have made more sense. You guys will be impressed with the stadia (for a championship club using it) BUT maybe the LSV charged less for using it, than the other's. But it looks like it's been done to ensure as many Pies as possible will be there, being only a 7 mile trip for them, or a short walk for Leigh 'Wiganners' ! Anyway....ALL THE BEST V PIES !!!

It should be at a more accessible venue than Leigh, which is ridiculous. But no one has answered my point: should 10000 Wiganers travel 200 miles or should 500 Broncos fans?

Pathetic

Money talks, and sadly the Broncos don't provide any. I haven't suggested it would be fair or in any spirit of the game to play up north, as that is not how any professional sport works these days.
I think it's sad the game is being played at Leigh, and I would have felt the same way at Doncaster. If you look at my posts I am against rugby league parochialism, but I feel in this case, and as someone who has been to every Broncos home game over the last two seasons it is rather romantic, not to say naive, to expect a game like this to be played in the south. Life is not fair.

well if you do beat wigan I do hope you will be complaining to the rfl about playing the final in London where you are based!

The problem is this, Wigan will get to go through their exact game day prep for a HOME game whilst London will go through their AWAY game prep (hotels, travel etc). Wigan don't need the extra help from the RFL but unfortunately there is no integrity at Red Hall. They will claim its in the best interests of the sport to put on a full house for TV but then what use is that when Wigan rattle up a cricket score (in probability, sorry London fans).
We have an outstanding product on the pitch and a 'pop up store' mentality running it off the field.

The RFL will be happy to see London go now and claim they have helped you over the years but in reality they should have thrown a shed load of money at London (and no I don't think they have) to give you a chance but then again Brian McDermott said the same on his return to Leeds and the powers that be just don't get it.

Best of luck in the semi from a KR fan.

Grinch...be fair. If you were a Bronco's fan playing Wigan in a semi final, a ground about 10 miles away.......CC final has always been in London ( apart from when it was being re-developed) Come on London....love you to win at Leigh !!! !

The stupidest comment I've ever read. The CC Final has been held at Wembley Stadium since the 1920's. The only breaks from it was while WWII was being fought and when the new Wembley was being built between 00~06.

Not sure that will help. Went to Wigan for the Student World Cup Final back in 1989. The first two people we asked for directions to Central Park said they had never heard of it!

Actually, we're based in Twickenham Middlesex, but that doesn't suit your poor attempt at trolling...
