Thanks for the tip. I checked on another website today and yes I can do train from Sheff to Manch then to Newton-le-willows then bus to near the ground.

Ask frankb or bentlyman on the fax site , he lives in Sheffield and has done the trip many times

Haha.

Go on Google Maps and try getting a route from USA to Japan. They suggest you kayak from Cali!

Buses from Newton aren't great on a Sunday - you'll be better served going to Manchester and jumping on a 26 bus from Shudehill bus station.

There are no buses from Newton-le-Willows train station on a Sunday. The 34 bus that comes from St Helens, only operates to Newton-le-Willows and does not continue to Leigh on Sundays.
