Sunday is also the first Warrington Half marathon so loads of roads will be closed, diversions in place, extra traffic for runners etc etc. Roads should be back to normal by 1pm apparently but it might be worth allowing a bit of extra time.

Also anyone going by train should be aware, The line though Warrington Central (The station right near the stadium) is closed for engineering work. Change at Newton Le Willows for a replacement bus service.

Marvellous planning so far then!

Looks like it doesnt it. They could have had any weekend for that Half marathon. As for the railway nothing suprises me. There was 'planned' engineering work on the main line to London from Warrington on the cup final weekend, so we had no chance.

this shouldn't (fingers crossed) affect anyone travelling to the games. The route is on the south side of the river (down by old Wilderspool). Start and finish approx 1.5 mile from Halliwell Jones. There is also church service being held with a march past afterwards in St Elphins church (near sainsburys -big steeple with scaffold on it) at 10am. this service closed Church Street just off the A57 last year, but was re-opened about 12:30pm. approx .75 mile from HJ

good luck on sunday, will be myself plus 3 there second half to add our support

I'm glad i'm going by coach. The railways are a complete joke at weekends. I've been to 3 away games by train this season and 2 of them have had rail bus services on them. Not to mention them trying to rip you off for travelling from Keighley. Keighley to Oldham is £17 quid or so. From Br*dford Interchange it's £9.

You got well over charged. What they should have done, was sell you a Metrotrain dayrover that costs about £5, that would get you as far as Walsden, then get a Walsden to Oldham Day return again about £5.

Just a quick question from an outsider do the cougar fans see new reserve team coach matt Bramald as a successor to first team coach Barry Eaton

I do not think matt bramald is anything more than reserve team coach. It would be great if warrington shout for the cougars on sunday. If it will sway you i like lee briers.
