I'm coming up for the Fri and Sat games next week staying in Warrington.

Which is the best way to get to Leigh on public transport on the Sat.

Any good pubs to visit pre and post the game would also be appreciated

You want the 19 from Warrington, get off in the town centre and ask for the Thomas Burke pub, start your day from there, open early doors 9-10ish, and follow the crowds.

19 bus from Warrington takes you into Leigh I think. Otherwise it's a train from Warrington to Atherton and then bus/taxi to the ground.

Pubwise there's a Wetherspoons (Thomas Burke) & Goose in the town centre (10 minute walk from the stadium)

Then there's The Centurion closer to the ground.

You can get the 19 or 28a from Warrington both will get you in to the town centre close by the Goose.

Or make lif easier for yourself an book a room at the Park Inn next to the stadium rather than staying in Warrington

There's trains from Warrington Bank Quay to both Earlestown and Newton-le-Willows. The 34 St Helens to Leigh bus goes from Earlestown bus station, behind Wilkinsons, and from across the road from Newton-le-Willows train station. The 34 stops at the Britannia pub before the bridge. The LSV is 5 minutes walk down Etherstone Street from there. You could stay on the bus to go to the town centre pubs. The last bus back to Newton-le-Willows and Earlestown leaves Leigh at 6:40pm.

Five min's!

You are 'Usain Bolt' and I collect my £5

pub wise the thomas burke, excellent beer and decent value food, and if your a real fam then the white lion has imo been serving some outstanding beers lately and deserves your support, if however you drink owt then there are loads of pubs in leigh to go into.

Game heading for a sell out.

Would be great to see LSV full.

Buckets at the ready !!

Can you remember where it is Glen?

I`ve just ordered 3 for the North Stand with 5 of us in total....The tickets were only in the 1100s so probably another 1400 to go?

You know where my heart is Delboy !!

Definitely five minutes from the BRITANNIA. I walk that route every day. Around 10 minutes from the bus station.

Really looking forward to having a drink in Leigh and loads of fans from different clubs mixing together in the town, England fans everywhere.

Hope the atmosphere before's like CCup final day.

Is the ground far from the town centre or easy walking distance?

Looking at having a few beers then going up to the game. (Dont want the missus moaning to much about a long walk especially if its raining!!!)

Bring some washing and leave the missus doing the ironing in the hotel.

LSV is a 15 minute walk from Leigh Bus Station. But as I am gym trained I do it in 10.

I thought you were a Frail OWD Goat



.

Brilliant!



You can do a decent little pub crawl if you start at The White Lion-Wetherspoons-Goose-Centurion-Stadium

Or the 597 from Leigh bus station to the Leigh Sports Village

Leigh, Bus Station 09:47 then every half hour

If there are a few of you from Warrington I would look at the cost of a taxi as the bus takes about 40mins

How would you know, you normally jump ROMANS TAXI

You wouldn't find your way to the stadium anyway mate, you always get a passing

You get picked up at the Goose and returned to the same place, then seen accross the road

Never caught it but 40 minutes ? Which way does it go via Bolton or maybe the driver gets out for a quickie has a shower a pastie gets dressed and back on his bus ?

Well would not surprise me the time I stand at the bus stop in Salford waiting for a bus back to the capital.

Any bus drivers reading this tell me why do you not operate to the timetables or is that just there to annoy moaning old sods like me ?

Oh and why don't you work Boxing days ?

Be happy.

Is that what he does when i am not there benter? He must be getting lazy.
