| I'm not a big fan of any Superleague club in particular. In fact to be honest I'm not a big fan of Superleague itself.
But I have been to Wigan twice since I've been over in the UK and I can honestly say I have never met a more friendly, helpful group of RL supporters anywhere this side of Sydney. The difference between the way people are in Wigan compared to London is amazing... whether its footy fans or people working in shops. Definately a memory I will take back to Australia with me at the end of the year.
Whether it was chatting to Wigan fans on the business park next door to the stadium, in the ground itself or in the Walkabout in town our group were made to feel very welcome.... despite being Aussies (and one kiwi) Even the parking attendants on the business park were friendly!
Good luck for the semi final against Leeds. I hope you get to the grand final and win it.
And with the signings your club has made for next year Wigan should be top of the pile for a few years to come.

| To be fair, you get some great pies in Oz.
I remember once seeing a pie-shop in Sydney next door to a place selling take-away Japanese food, fantastic!

If anyone reading this is planning on going for the 4 nations you really ought to check out the home of possibly the greatest pies in Sydney... if not the whole of Australia
Harrys Cafe De Wheels
www.harryscafedewheels.com.au/Menu.aspx
Scroll down the page and check their products out.
Do your taste buds a favour and have a Tiger pie. Or 2.
You wont look at a Wigan meat with potato pie again

Yes they are famous in Sydney, on a back street if I remember rightly, I've had a couple of pies from there myself, pretty good.
Love the fish and chip shops down under, totally different to the UK.
You get to pick the type of fish you want and how you want them to cook it, nice and fresh and scrumptious.

Only this side of Sydney? So, c'mon, what's so special about the other side of Sydney?
That apart, thanks for the support. I know one or two Aussies and they're fair dinkum.

You are probably thinking of the Haymarket Harrys... just up from Paddys Markets.
Easily missed even though its only about 25 metres off the main drag George St as its tucked round a corner and only visible from the Haymarket end
