Let me add the following headline Wigan RLFC and the RL embarrassing.

I live in Atherton which is 3 miles from Leigh so I thought why not go down to Leigh instead of going to Wigan for a ticket.

Last Friday morning (26th July) I went down to the Leigh ticket office enquiring about a ticket and was informed that the person who could help me was in a meeting, I was advised to phone Wigan.
On Saturday morning I phoned Leigh and was told that as Leigh was only hosting the match all tickets for the match had to come from either Wigan, London or RL headquarters and that Leigh wasn't on the system to sell tickets.

The same day I sent an email to Wigan and the RL pointing out how stupid it was if supporters local to the stadium either being Wigan supporters, Leigh supporters or neutrals could not get a ticket from the venue.

I put this on the Leigh Forum and I admit a Leigh supporter friend of mine said he could get me a ticket, he even asked me which stand I wanted, I thanked him and declined is offer saying I would see what the outcome of my emails to Wigan and the RL would be.

On Wednesday this week after getting no answer off anyone I phoned Leigh and asked if the ticket problem had been resolved and lo and behold I was told that Leigh had been given a batch of tickets.
I jumped in the car and went down to Leigh and was told that the tickets had arrived out of the blue at 11.00am (Wednesday the 24th July). I was asked did I want behind the sticks or on the side, I said West stand.
I was told the only tickets available in the West stand was block B, so I bought one.

This afternoon I have been on the London board and they have a map of the seating on and guess what Block B according to the London board is part of the London allocation ( not that I am bothered).
And to cap off this tale I have had no reply to my emails to Wigan or the RL, PAR FOR THE COURSE.'"

Weird RFL protocol !!!
I am A Leigh fan, who lives in the town. Last week went to the LSV to buy tickets for the World Cup game at the ground (Tonga v Cook Islands). Only to be told they don't have the actual tickets, and to do it online....eh ???
With a £2.50 postage charge, not much I know, but surely the actual VENUE should have loads of tickets, like for today's game for instance......one 'confused' LOBBY GOBBLER.'"

there is still a booking/handling charge of £2.50 if you pick the tickets up in person from any box office!! which I find ludicrous, cant understand the RFL's protocols or pricing policy at the moment
