Train to Atherton from Manchester takes about half an hour and then a 15/20 min bus ride on the 582 to Leigh, so not much difference on time, the issue will be which station in Manchester you arrive at, if Piccadilly get the X34 as that leaves from Piccadilly bus station, if you arrive at Victoria then the train to Atherton could be the better option as that also leaves from Victoria.

The X34 does stop at 6 so the return leg option would be the 26 this takes about 1hr 15mins from Leigh to Manchester. or the 582 to Atherton etc if thats the way you came.

As for signs in the bus station for LSV I honestly have no idea but leave Leigh bus station with the George and Dragon on your right and the Goose on your left, turn left past the Goose, go over the canal bridge, and take the second street on your right Etherstone street, follow this to its end, this will bring you out facing Leigh East and the start of the Sports Village, you'll see the stadium on your left. 10min walk from the bus station although you'll pass or see plenty of pubs so it can take quite a while longer than that.

Buses from manchester to leigh X 34 Piccadily to leigh. 12 hourly from piccadily bus station to leigh. I think the 26 and 25 goes from picc to leigh (not to sure) your best bet is getting the train to piccadily and finding your way to the ground by bus. Not very helpfull i know but leigh and buses isnt by strong point. Good luck saturday. If anyone deserves to make the play offs its wakefield.

One last note . Leigh bus station is about a 5-10 min walk to the stadium.

And we all know this saturday dilema is skys fault.

Basically search gmpte journey planner. That tells you all you need to know.

Leigh will welcome the Wildcats to the one of the best stadiums there is.

Enjoy your day in Lobbyland.

If you are in the South Stand, enjoy. 3 sides are seated. The North stand is the only terraced area.

Is Parky Pig still around.

Good old Parky!

The 26 does go from Piccadilly to Leigh.

And yes Parky is still around doubt he’ll be at your game tho’

One of his best was in the middle of a game at Huddersfield he collapsed holding his leg, after 5 mins of treatment from the physio, they sent for the stretcher, they carefully lifted him onto the stretcher and just as they were about to pick it up, he jumped up and ran off doing cartwheels etc. Even all the players and the ref were laughing, not to sure the Doctor was.

If we're in the seating area do we have to sit down? I hate sitting at rugby games and the atmosphere is a lot poorer when fans are seated

Get in Northstand

There is another way

Train to Birchwood then Network Warrington 28 or 28a bus from the train station into Leigh

For the fans that come to Leigh by public transport or are having a few drinks around the town and don't fancy walking to the stadium, although it's not that far of a walk, there's a 597 bus, run by Maytree Travel, to the sports village. The bus stop is the one on the main road outside the bus station, opposite the Leigh Arms and next to the Goose. The times of the 597 bus after 4pm and leading up to kick-off are 4:16pm, 4:51pm, 5:21pm and 5:51pm.

Thanks to the Leigh fans for the information in response to my request much appreciated.

Unfortunately, I will have my 12 year old son in tow so sampling the ales at any of the locals is going to be a none starter

North Stand is all terracing.
West (main) Stand seating and you will have to sit.
South stand is seating, you will be asked to sit, but like the Leigh fans did on Sunday against Swinton its not been unknown for fans to be allowed to stand at the back.
East stand is a protected environment!

Kids will be fine in some of the pubs like the Centurion just over the canal bridge, and in Leigh East club house.

Hi Glow

Any ideas on where we could watch the Catalan v Bradford game in Leigh before our game on Saturday ? My wife emailed LSV and they say they will not be showing the game.
