| Quote: fevrover40 "Any Wigan fans wanting a few pre match beers are more than welcome at Featherstone WMC on Green Lane only 2 minutes away from the "Big Fellas" stadium. We offer Carling lager at £2.60 pint, John Smiths Bitter at £2.50 pint, Black Sheep real ale at £2.20 pint.
Everyone is welcome.

Sounds good to me, Black Sheep's a decent pint, and anything's better than the gnat's pee we get at the DW. |

Fevrover, I hope your wingers are not as fast as your walkers...it's half a mile from that WMC to the ground!!! Might give it a go though, and if we break the two-minute barrier I will let you know...
Cheers,'"
Definately only a few minutes walk.... depending on if its raining or not lol.  |

[quote="headhunter":lnxdgxk2]Union people are idiots. They almost universally accept that league is a better, faster game played by better athletes, yet for some reason they continue to disregard and belittle it. That game is tedious as hell from start to finish. If he'd ever played or even bothered to give more than a fleeting chance to league he would realise that the game is far more 'technical' than Union ever could be. Booting the ball into touch, scrummaging and forming rucks and mauls aren't areas that involve any skill, technique or mental capacity whatsoever. These are clumsy, outdated facets of the game that are also extremely uninteresting to watch and thus have to be defended in some way by people who are too prejudiced to see the truth.[/quote:lnxdgxk2]: |

Only problem is that working mens clubs aren't renound for serving good real ale! Its usually been there weeks and can taste like death and even worse than the nitrokeg crap! If they keep it decently though will be all over it. |

Dont know what WMC you go to mate, but the turnover of real ale in our club is pretty good. I gaurantee you will like the black sheep. Hopefully a few of you will sample one or two pints!!!
We are also putting on pie and peas at the bargain price of £1. If you can give me an indication of how many would like to take up our offer it would be massively appreciated.
Thank you
Darren |

| Quote: Big Man "This could be tricky, normally the longest queue in Fev is for the chip shop but with Wigan being in town the queues will be pretty similar. If you are lucky you will be in the chippy queue first and then you just tag on to the next queue for the rugby.
As you stand at the railway end the family stand is on your left, you wont miss it, its the one full of screeching schoolgirls with a drum and they only know one song.
Enjoy your evening ![]()
I'm assuming that you were one of the silent Cas fans, very poor support for your team that day, IMHO

As a Leigh fan all i can say is you must be right as when we come to Post Office Road you don't half make a noise in that stand, and never give up singing, and i am sure tonight you will make it a brilliant atmosphere.
Hope both sets of fans enjoy the game. |

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.

Thought the ale would be cheaper than that for a WMC.

Agreed, but I understand everyone in Fev has bought ear-plugs for their whippets in anticipation of the Wigan fans' chanting being as high-pitched as theirs. |

| A big thank you to Darren and all at Fev WMC for the warm welcome and hospitality last night.
Pie & peas was a great idea.  |

Sad the great effort put in by all concerned was spoilt by the three idiots outside throwing bricks etc at us as we went back to our car. Obviously not been to the game.
