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!

Well lets face it, we pretty much are. I'm not going because I have a very important cricket game that day.

However, it's either going to be an absolute mauling or a 2 point victory by London. Neither of which I want to go and pay money for.

I just hope your players share your complacency!

Maybe you can persuade a few thousand more of your dedicated 6,000 who attended last night to do the same. That would be all that the clowns at the RFL deserve for their cowardly decision to find a stadium that will "look good" on TV.

I completely agree with you. The RFL do not have the foggiest! Feel sorry for your fans, I really do.

Like EW says the Park Hotel is on the same site as the ground (less than 100 yards away)and the M6 is only 10 min drive away.
For those having a walk into Leigh (10 min app) you would be made welcome in the George and Dragon Pub ,the last time I was in John Smiths Cream flow was only about £1-60 per pint, That was in late Jan.

See the thread on the Wigan Site headed "USUAL SUSPECTS", the landlord of the pub is doing a bit of advertising.
For anyone going by train , the nearest station is Atherton (3 miles from Leigh) 582 bus 40 yds from the station and after a 10 min journey you are dropped off at the George and Dragon front door.

'stillinthepast' the 'Landlord' you mention, is not in Leigh or even Wigan.
Bert runs "The George Hotel - Pub in St Helens"
There is a 'George & Dragon' in Leigh town centre, but it's nowt to do with the 'plug' that you have read.
All the best v the Pies.

Dave

go for west stand, block D. N is the back row before the corporate boxes, between the half way line and the 20m line. South Stand is seated behind the goal.

Thanks a lot Budgiezilla for pointing out my error, I suddenly realised this afternoon that I had got my nickers in a twist with my post.
I now know that the George mentioned in the plug is in St Helens (and that the Saints George plug was for the Saints Wigan match next Monday).

Now for the good news, after a bit of research this afternoon I can now confirm that Tetleys Bitter can be had in the George and Dragon in Leigh town centre for £1-50 a pint.
The motto is the more you drink the more you save.

My ticket arrived this morning - block D, row F. Have to say that the RFL ticketing side seems to work very efficiently, perhaps they could give the rest of the organisation some lessons!
