Did nobody give you directions, bless.

Wow more London fans have replied to this thread than actually attend there games, impressive.

It's their, not there.

6,237 bothered with Widnes.....do you expect any more to trek the 12 miles to Leigh to watch what many expect to be a hammering? Are you saying that Leigh fans will pile into the stadium just to boo Wigan





The RFL had better offer tickets for a tenner or they could well be looking at a sub 5k gate.....



It wasn't funny in 1983 and it hasn't improved with age! Regardless of if Londons fans arrive on a Vespa or in a Taxi, the RFL have yet again laid their stall out with regard to London...personally, as much as I love RL, I can't wait until SKY pull the plug on the TV deal....because then, a great many idiots on here can go back to the winter sport played in front of a handful of Whippet owning pigeon fanciers bemoaning the fact that Thatcher closed your loss making pits!

Have you checked if either ground would be interested in the few quid we would throw their way?

Indeed it is, my momentary lapse due to sleep depravation after reading this thread. But well done to the pedantic one, you must be so proud.

Nearest station 3 miles, that's close, only about 40 minutes walk for a quick getaway then.
Warrington's is about 3 minutes away as i very well know, main line for Leigh, you have choice of Bank Quay, Wigan, Piccadilly, more than 3 miles. Leigh is terrible to get to by public transport and i'm from Golborne.

Just out of interest where would have been a suitable venue for this semi?

Ps I don't have pigeons, whippet or have worked down a pit...ok Rodney.

A suitable comment for your shallow-minded dig at London I thought. If Leigh were the one club in the SL (as London are down here) I suspect your travelling fans would be fewer than ours given the costs involved 13 times a year.

Go to a bus stop and put your arm out, they may stop.Otherwise stop with the incessant whinging.

Which station was you on about, Atherton, Daisy Hill, N-L-W, Walkden? All miles from LSV

Athertons about 3 miles , with daisy hill not much further, Newton le Willows isn't too far for the millions of RLfans who travel by rail.
Buses from Atherton into Leigh every 7 mins or so

Is that the same Warrington fans who managed to attract 7,600 with the Hudds stand over half full? Where as Widnes brought a couple of hundred to the DW.

Sour grapes.

Leicester Tigers ground, Sixfield in Northampton (maybe a little small) or Oxford Utd where I understand the Wigan owner still holds some sway.

All easy for both teams to get to via a range of transports, all have held RL in the past and all of a reasonable size

The games should have been a double header in my opinion. BUT, LSV is a great choice and a great venue. I would much be in a packed crowd of 12500 than a half filled stadium. London cannot win really unfortunately. If they had justified attendances (instead of 2k), i am sure the RFL would have thought differently. They could though have just played it in London. Irrespective, they would still be outnumbered 7 to 1 !

Indeed, if you live in Wigan.

Unfortunately I can't see there being a large crowd on given the ticket prices - £18, £20 & £26 pre purchase and add £2 to those for on the day purchases. Concessions are half price

Doncaster...85 miles for Wigans faithful and 190 for the vespa!


AHHH.....so you're one of the un-working/unemployable northern masses then....strung up any Monkey's of late?

thats not nice gf we are a town forced under wigans foot back in 74 but i can understand your anger so as long as they open the south stand so us brothers can sit together i'll be ther supporting your lot.Come on london

I think in a World Cup year, the RFL want to play it on the safe side, which is understandable. Sending thousand if Wigan fans down south, who will be buying up a lot of WC tickets, may stretch the finances too far. London WC fans probably won't watch the Broncos.

It's unfair on the neutral stakes, but I can see why they've opted for it.

6k of them turned out at Widnes at the last minute for a first round playoff game. I imagine plenty more would travel to a neighbour town for a CC semifinal.

Wrong side of the country for the monkey, mongo!

North of the 18th Green at Potters Bar.,.......it'll do for me

WTF



We have been told that the RLWC has already made money. Are you suggesting that the removal of a neutral ground for this game is now about maximizing profit?

Shame on the RFL
