Just said on GMR that Wigan received 1,600 tickets so a quarter of the crowd will be Wiganers.

And quite a few more localish supporting Wigan

If fans are planning to watch the leeds v saints game head to a weatherspoons because i bet most pubs that have sky will be showing a football team from trafford.

What Barrow has a weatherspoons

Fixed your typo for you Gary

Craig Murdock was a marra.

I thought he played for Hensingham near Whitehaven.

How very silly of me lol

That is correct. I said Kells but it is Defo Hensingham

Majority of pubs have more than one screen in them so no need to head straight to anywhere in particular. If you find a pub and for some reason it's not to your liking then there will be another within a minutes walk especially in the areas surrounding the ground.

Pubs within a stones throw are;

1) The Wheatsheaf (small'ish but good rugby following - 2 bars 1 big screen)

2) The Ambrose (real ale, a few plasma TV's and a decent size)

3) The Kill One ( Cheap beer 2 bars plus a function room - which they surely must open for this?)

4) The Furness (good old fashioned big pub)

5) The Continental (massive bar which shows live sport predominantly soccer but rugby should take priority on sunday)

6) The Raiders Bar (within the ground - cracking little bar good atmosphere and where the players go but will be rammed)

Beyond these are the town centre pubs and at that point just follow the crowd. Plenty of good boozers.

No's 2-5 can be found if you exit through the main gate. No 1 is at the other end of the ground.

Enjoy the hospitality guys and girls.

Yes and very near the ground and railway station

Not sure about that, with so many RL fans knocking about. PLus, don't think I've ever been in a Wetherspoons that shows live sport.

Theres lots of pubs in walking distance of the ground that will be showing the game. I know i'll be watching the Leeds/Saints match. Barrow will be playing either team in the next round...LOL icon_biggrin.gif

Incorrect.

Is anybody else on Mayfair travel for this game?

No letting the train take the strain on this one

As part of the celebration of what should be a great game and day out, Barrow will be selling all sorts of bits and bobs inside the ground. I have been informed of one particular item that may be of interest to the Wigan fans.

There will be a limited number of lapel badges for sale at the stall inside CP on Sunday. These have been produced to commemorate Sunday's match and wil bear the Barrow and Wigan badges/crests along with he date of the match.

Im sure these will prove a very popular item for both sets of fans and all proceeds will help the Club.

Please remember there will be bars and refreshments inside the ground and you will find the prices excellent value for money. Please feel free to spend as much of your well earned as you like



Im sure I echo the sentiments of all supporters of the club when I say safe journey to you all and I hope you enjoy your day. Remember to avoid the Supermarket & Hollywood Park Carparks.

Can I also wish all Wigan fans a safe journey and an enjoyable day.

Although the BOD and many volunteers have pulled their pans out to get everything as good as it can possibly be, the facilities won't be on par with the JJB, so please be patient if queueing for drinks/food and pretend you're back at Central Park for the day !

The atmosphere will be second to none, guaranteed !

If we beat barrow on sun does anybody know why the draw is on at 1430 there is a link on the RFL website, why cant the draw take place after the leeds game as all the ties should be over by 1830 sun surley they can have the draw in the boardroom or one of the bars at headlingley were FANS can draw the balls out of the machine, have they got something to hide or not this just asks more questions.

I saw that myself looks a nice neat stadium and its got a full length pitch which some SL clubs cant say about themselves.

Getting excited now

I think you will be very happy with the surface at Barrow. It has always been a great pitch and is definatley better than some of the pitches in SL

Should be a great day tomorrow. Safe journey
