Nearest train station is Atherton, as jonny the leyther says. However, there's work being done on the railway bridge. The 582 Bolton to Leigh bus takes a diversion and therefore doesn't stop outside the station. So it's a 10 minute walk to Atherton town centre to catch the bus to Leigh. No buses run from Newton-le-Willows to Leigh after 7pm.

My head against Widnes and Halifax said we'd get beat and my heart said we'd win so I'm hoping for the same Thursday but as everyone has said it's a very short turnaround and it could be our downfall...

Leigh's pack and 6 & 7 will be a lot better and more existent on Thursday but I'm going to stick my neck out and go for an Eagles win, you never know!

Eagles 24 - 20 Leigh
Attendance : 1,760
M.O.M : Simon Brown

If travelling from Birmingham (presumably) then you're just as well going to Wigan or Warrington and getting a bus to Leigh from there. Failing that there are regular buses from Manchester.

Probably best going to Manchester in that case and getting a bus from Piccadilly Gardens. If you're lucky you'll end up on the same bus as RLFans legend frankb.

Yes because at least you know the token weirdo on the bus is a RL fan.
