Nightmare to get too on coach left at 7am got to Tottenham at 12-15 with half an hour stop. Coming back we was on coach at 6pm ready to go blocked in on coach park it was 7pm when we got on the motorway 15 min stop at services got in Wigan for 11pm .Long day but worth it to watch us win. What a stadium it is superb in every aspect .

I did the coach too (mostly cos I was worried about train issues, which seems to have happened to some extent).my coach was even later, didn't get back till around 11.20. And then had to walk home, cos the taxi queue was a mile long of course.

Coaches were ok I thought. Wembley was never a breeze either. We were probably lucky we arrived about 12ish around the ground and it was busy fighting through to the coach park. A few others I know said it was more chaotic later on. I was pretty surprised we got away as quickly as we did, as I had visions of being sat on there until 7/8pm. I felt for the Leigh fans legging it down from the coach park about 12.15/20ish and I got told a few if their coaches were even later and some missed the first half or more.

Did anyone see the car full of Leythers broken down on the motorway giving out the fingers to Wiganers, no way they got to see their game until half time (if at all).

The stadium is superb, except for price of booze and grub, but the area is horrible and access to and from it is awful. It confirms my view that I wouldn't live in London for a solid brass pig. Whilst I wouldn't expect him to be happy, doesn't Watson come over as being a curmudgeon to rival Powell. I understand that there is a rumour that we won in the closing stages. Is this rumour true?
