February 2014 , me and my 12 year old son went half way around the world for six days to watch the Wigan play the Roosters . Trip of a lifetime . Arrived in Sydney same time as the team. Ian Lenegan made a point of shaking our hands in the airport, and thanking us for travelling so far to watch the lads . We went watching West Tigers train curtesy of a mate who’d previously played there . Had photos with Pat Richards at Wests , who’d just returned there from Wigan . Went up to Parramatta to the best RL merch shop in Aus , Peter Wynns Score . Cost me a fortune
We spent an afternoon in Coogee Bay with the Wigan squad at a BBQ.
Did a Sydney Harbour Dinner Cruise with Brett Kenny as guest speaker , and ended up on Granada Reports

being interviewed
Spent the night before the game with all the Wigan fans in a bar by the harbour . Great atmosphere!!
Game day was amazing , bar the result ! Lots of Wiganers and ex pats in the Sydney Football Stadium that evening .
A fantastic trip that we’ll never forget
