For those still looking for flights it looks like Qatar Airways have a sale on at the moment, they fly from Manchester and Birmingham and the lay up would be in Doha. Flight from Doha to Sydney is direct.

Hi Tooms, I sent you a pm a couple of days ago. Just need to know your numbers pal. Cheers

I don't know if you've seen this but it's a very good read. Any of you who are undecided about the trip then this article should help you make your mind up. www.wiganwarriors.com/news/2017- ... i-nsw-blog

More or less got our itinerary sorted now, booking flights in 3 weeks. We are planning Sydney / Wollongong / Melbourne / Sydney / Gold Coast over three weeks. Going to be epic.

We arrive in Sydney fri 9th morning staying rushcutters bay going to get the train to woolongong Saturday morning to spend the day there but have been told the trains back to Sydney after the game finish early does anyone know about this?

There is a talk at the KC, Thursday night 6pm - hosted by Andrew Earle. On the official website under the NSW section.

Originally only for his customers but now extended to those travelling independently - at least that's how I read it !

Personally I would like a bit more consideration than I have felt so far, just retired so lucky enough to have an extended trip !!

Really frustrated with the match ticket situation - you are entirely limited to a robot nominated 'best available' - must have been programmed by the Apprentice team as best concourse for us are the Wigan end !!

Be nice to see a goodly number of 'independenters' on Thursday, who knows what might be available.

Going to be great, can't wait.............

Might be an idea to check meeting time before going.

Neither game will sell out, likely I'll get them when I am in Aus.

Andrew Earle have e mailed me to say the meeting at the kc will not be relevent to independent travellers I am quite dissapointed with this first time in Aus would like to know a little about transport tickets where the fans are meeting up etc

Just booked Etihad flights from Manchester out 6th, back 21st so plus 2 more black and whites in the travelling army - what is the general consensus about location of accommodation please? I was going to stay around Wollongong until after the first game then head to Sydney but just renewed our passes and someone at the shop said it's really quiet at Wollongong so I'd be better based in Sydney - any ideas please?

We are staying in Sydney for the duration and hiring a car so we can drive down to Wollongong on the Saturday. I hate all the messing with changing locations so thought this was out best bet. Mind you, my hubby is a Leeds fan so it looks like we'll be having a stop over in Melbourne on the Friday evening!

Thanks Karen, we know people staying at both or just Sydney, I was sure I'd seen the trains stop fairly early as getting back to Sydney after the first game might have been tight? Obviously if you're driving, that isn't a problem but I need to have a photo sat on that grass at the WIN stadium with cold beers to send back to the rest of our away game group who couldn't come or can't get into Australia due to previous indiscretions.
