In the last couple of days I noticed a post on the Bronchos site by someone from the Leigh club offering fans of the Bronchos club 10 double rooms on a bed and breakfast basis (for the Wigan v Bronchos match) at the Park Hotel at the side of the ground, I thought that this gesture from a small cash strapped club was a magnificent



By late this afternoon the offer had been taken up by Bronchos fans and all rooms had gone and the fans praise for a small club like Leigh on the site was heartfelt.



Do Wigan fans think that the Wigan club in hindsight could have done something on a similar basis.

Well done to both parties, but I doubt that the London fans would appreciate a stay in Wigan in Brunels or the Bellingham.

Well done to all involved

are these rooms free?

According to the post on the Broncos board yes they are. If you read it, it comes from Rob Parker who played for London for a time (I think) so there is the connection. It's not completely random!



Do Leigh get some sort of discount for guests at the hotel?

Leigh will get some money from hosting the semi-final - I'm guessing a little bit more than the cost of 10 rooms.



I'm more interested as to what have the RFL have done to encourage London fans to travel?

You'd think they were coming to play on Mars! It's a great gesture and there is no doubt that the location of the game isn't very fair but I don't see why we should have been trying to come up with similar. I've never been been offered a free room down in London in the 15+ years I've been going there.



Maybe we could have set up a few house shares in Platt Waz and Norley for them.

Four of us from Edinburgh are staying at he Park next Saturday . The more RL fans stayng overnight after the match the better the party .





Well done to Legh for a great gesture

They have been given the privelage of playing a semi final against the biggest name in world rugby

We may join you for a couple of pre-match drinkies.

Want to re-think that one Brian ? Got the part timer err.... sorry Dave (Captain 13) in tow next week

He's a married man now, he has to be on his best behaviour.
