Should be in Wigan about 2 hours b4 kick off for a pastie and a couple of swifties in the pub opposite Wigan Wallgate.
Hope we meet up before the game Brian. ![]()
For a few swifties you'd do worse than venture into The Anvil near the bus station.

Think it's a great draw for both clubs, good banter, better crowd for both clubs than any other SL v Champs game would have been, you get to go through, we ease our bank balance.
Looking forward to it, one try and we'll go bananas. I expect about 2k Leythers there, maybe more.
Looking forward to watching Tomkins play, hope he does, and going for a beer with Captain 13.

He played against North Wales Crusaders last year so would be surprised if he doesn't play against you. |

I really do think Wane will put our a strong of a side as possible.
Am I right in thinking cup gate receipts are spilt 50/50? Might be worth, and as gesture of goodwill, to make it 75% in Leigh's favour. That might encourage more Leigh fans to turn up as it will benefit their club more. We need to really maximise the interests of Wigan fans for this game. One way to do this is for Leigh to bring a substantial following.

| We need to be careful here. I mean the village of Leigh does have similarities wirh Australia. Oz was created as a place for us to dump our convicts whilst Leigh was a place for Wigan to dump those who were still inter breeding and being born with more heads than they were fingers. Australia shook it off and became a vibrant nation. Leigh, well.........didn't.

Yes, they've discovered you can eat oxen (a dish of oxen a' la lobbee was featured on food & drink last month), so the wagons will be pulled by mainly mules, domesticated foxes, a cocker spaniel named Bernard, and, in one case, a blind pig that navigates in braille, it should be quite a convoy. Rumours are circulating that parts of the trek are being covered live on the Discovery Channel, narrated by David Attenborough, the remaining parts are to be recorded by BBC's Crimewatch. |
