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!

Someone has a long memory...

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

Good post sir.

Anyway, moving forward, what are people doing for this? Reasonably priced rail fares to Manchester seem to be tricky to come by so tempted to drive up and stay over somewhere. But then Leigh doesn't seem to be a great place for hotels...!

Just over 6,000 for the Wigan v Widnes game, what are the predictions for the semi at Leigh?

Looking like the 'Gus Bus' for me. Although I'll see what the details are for that.

I've bought my ticket, anyway (by phone - neither semi's on the RFL ticketing website at the moment

).

Is there a designated stand or blocks of a stand for London fans? Away end presumably as Wigan are at home!
