Same for me london Youth and Junior finals day at Hemel for those who want a match day fix

Re: Coach to Semi : Sun Jul 21, 2013 12:49 pm  

Don't suppose they have given any thought to running the coach from central London, or even organising a drop off there on the way back?

Re: Coach to Semi : Sun Jul 21, 2013 1:27 pm  

Last Twickenham train back to London 11 minutes past midnight, should be back by 11pm (7:30 + 3 1/2 hours). Know an hour plus of delays not unusual so risky. Think coach could leave at 7 pm prompt unless its extra time or we win then I won't care.

So signing up to the Gus Bus and accepting Night Bus/Taxi/Hotel if stuck on Motorway.

Trains start running again at 06:45 on Sunday if we are really delayed!

Skolars full size coach (Lanes coaches a sponsor) was great last night left at 7pm from Halifax back to Skolars about 11.15 (further than Leigh). Skolars lost bowl final to a strong North Wales Crusaders side but gave everything for an competitive hour and tired after that. Much better organised than Broncos, no threats of last minute cancellations and even the loan of an away shirt if you weren't in the right colours!

The biggest delay, PaRL, will be getting some of the supporters out of the bar (on a good day, I could be one of the worst offenders).

Having had to get a taxi home to SE london twice from Twickers, I must admit I'm not keen to part with another £120! After all, that would buy me a Skolars ST for next season.

Hope those that go have a great time and the coach doesn't break down or run out of petrol.

Shades of Workington in '85, when the coach broke down at Shap on the way back and we arrived at Hammersmith Odeon at 6 a.m. - at least we'd won. Bit puzzled about potty breaks - there was always a facility on the coaches we used.

The club could look at running the Bus from Oxford Street...it would cost no more and at least if it were delayed on the way back, their is access to the Night Bus network.

How many fans do you think you will take think it's a bit out of order playing it at Leigh like a Wigan home game reminds me a bit of our semi in 86 when we played Leeds at elland rd drew the game and went back to Leeds again for the replay

Cant see there being any more than 150.

Challenge Cup Semi-final

''Cant see there being any more than 150''

Very poor show that, for such an important game.
