Quote ="Bent&Bongser"Is there sufficient a stadium in Bolton? Walking down Hope Street, Leigh, on a clear day you'd think that you could reach out and grab that little stick atop Winter Hill. But that little stick is blummin' huge and, at Bongser's age, takes a good 30 seconds and more to circumnavigate.
Point? Horwich is a lot further away than Bolton.
Presume CowYed is from Westhoughton anyway. Bongser lives in Bent. The latent interest is there. But there are far too many Wiggin shirts around Atherton. Glory seekers (from the old Leigh vills) will stay reflected glory seekers until Leigh pick up some serious silverware again.
For Bongser, it should be best 17 for the C Cup tie next week.'"
I more than get your point Bongser but as an Exiled Leyther living in Warrington and being a Wanderers fan to boot, there are far more connections with both clubs than there are with Wigan.
Bolton is a huge Town, and although it may be a little further away, easy to get to and it doesnt stop 20k week in a week out watching an average football team play in Championship 1.
Point ? Nothing to lose, spread the brand, day out and no doubt far more than the 9100 in the previous fixture v the crustmunchers will attend !
Another great win last night, so happy days !
