33718_1325770967.jpg Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.

| St. James tavern on shaftsbury avenue, nr. piccadilly circus/soho is always a good place to find wiganers. As is Covent garden on the Sunday lunchtime.

For the record, and a quick education for you.
The term "Goon" eminated from the fans of our great rivals here in Wigan, namely Wigan Athletic aka Wigan Pathetic when their following included a gang of marauding oafs entitled "The Goon Squad".
Ergo, if you are singling out Wigan RL fans as "Goons" you are not only way off the mark but also labelling them with the tag of their town rivals.
Of course, I could be wrong and you are merely stating that you are not a fan of Arsenal whose fans are similarly named Gooners.
Hope that helps?

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

If anyone is looking for a good pub over that way you can't go wrong with The Coal Hole on the Strand. Cracking selection of real ales and decent enough food.

You may well use crayons (and probably tippex) on your computer screen. I don't.

To be honest there are far better Nicholson pubs than that one. If you do that one there is a cracking Sam Smiths pub further down the strand by the Wellington.

Fair do's and good info. The Coal Hole has some great memories for my family and we always make the effort to nip in for a pint when we're down there. I'm sure there are better pubs though.

The Cole Hole is a solid all around boozer. I can't think of many Nicholsons pubs that are significantly better.
If you want cheap ale around that area, there is Lyceum Tavern which is also on the Stand, and Chandos which is just off it, closer to Trafalgar Square - both Sam Smiths pubs. Think it is about £2.20 for the bitter at the moment.
Here is a map (my map ) of all the Sam Smiths pubs in London: g.co/maps/epgk
