What are the refreshment arrangements in the general vicinity of the stadium?

Leigh East clubhouse is good. 5 minutes walk.

Robin Hood is 10 minute walk from the ground and has great food and real ale on so that's where I go on the Lowton side of the ground. Good place to park and walk to and from the ground.

In Leigh there are quite a few decent real ale pubs too.

At the stadium itself, garbage.

That does not surprise me.

Oddly, Guinness/Tetleys from a can and bottled Carlsberg is still way better than last year, which was watered down p!55

And if you're lucky enough to get a chicken balti pie that isn't cremated then it's a belter! Usually serve chilli and wedges on the concourse plus the Legends Bar at the ground usually has special offers on food and drink.

Leigh town centre is 10 minutes from the ground, a lot of our forum posters drink in the Goose adjacent to the bus station. Usually 3-4 real ales on, a good range of food and a good craic.

We will be setting off at 3pm to get over to Leigh in good time to absorb the culture and atmosphere. Apparently Leigh is "the new" Catalans. It's somewhere different, it's only £18 and you won't be paying £4.80 for a pint of Peroni in one of Leighs' town centre alehouses like you would do in Leeds. All in all a cheap day out and a chance to learn a new language.

It's an hour drive, finish at 5 should get there fine

Well if your in leigh for 4.30 or before then i'd get parked up at the stadium,then i'd get a taxi to the thomas burke,walk up to the white lion,move on to the goose which is the big pub on the corner of the bus station,then try the centurion and then onto the stadium.if you want food then the thomas burke and the goose are the places to try.

Thanks for that, we'll check them out. What's the local brew, is it Robinsons ?

Unfortunately we dont have a local brew in leigh,though i must say the taste for real ale is slowly starting to grow.The thomas burke,White lion and the goose have real ale on.Personally i drink Guinness or most anything thats dark which seems to be limited

GO to 'White Lion' they have 'Otter King' what a lovely tipple.

Park inn hotel is part of the Leigh sports village they usually do a deal on match days for food ect Morrisons Supermarket is across the road from the stadium and have a cheap cafe... The Legends bar close to the ticket office do cheap food pasties chips ect ect and Leigh East Club is two mins away cheap beer and pies ect and rest friendly ..Hope to see plenty of you there sampling the culture of LEYTH

Nice post and although I know JC and his advice is very good I personally would park in the town. It's not very far to walk and you could have another one for the road after the game. Hope you lot enjoy your visit and have a safe journey.

Now that made me laugh.

As jc and Leyther Matt says the Goose is were a lot off our message board go before games, a good atmosphere and a few real ales on as well, you will all be made welcome.

I reckon our lads will be doing the White Lion-Tommy Burke-Goose real ale run.

Will be good to see you in the Goose with us North Stand lads jonny.

Looking forward to it mate!

We know all about Zak, from his start at Featherstone - he's a class act. As a result of our well-documented financial problems, we've cut our wage bill almost in half, this season, and have been giving game time to some cracking good young players. They will benefit enormously from the experience on Friday and may cause you one or two surprises.

We will be in the centurion at about quater to 6
Lubricating our throats....
ready to get in the North Stand with the Lads

and sing our hearts out

cant wait to see a classy Leeds side
your the red hot favourites, just like in 71





see you Friday
have a safe journey

Any idea how sales have gone at your end?

Also what are the Loiners plans who can make it in the daytime?

We should be there by 5-30/6ish just planning on staying near the ground for some grub and a pint or 2.

Depends what you want then mate.

The Robin Hood has free parking and you can walk to the stadium in 5-10 mins and has great food too. Cumberland on tap.

For atmosphere you're better off in the town centre, Goose is where the Leigh fans will be at that time, but good food round there is scarce.

The Harvester Pub is good for food located on the Retail Park (nr Sainsburys). The Stadium is then a 10/15 minute walk (past Leigh East Club) and you can park there too.

Food, drink and parking advise. What more could we ask for?

Lad.
