Help required: NRL Grand Final coverage
Posted: Mon Sep 27, 2004 2:20 pm
Hi Wigan fans. I hope I am not out of order asking about the Australian NRL Grand Final, but I do need help (no, not something a mental health professional could give )
I will be in Blackburn on Saturday 2nd, and from there, I need to go to a place where I can stay overnight, wake up bright and early to catch the NRL GF on Sky Sport.
I know Wigan has a proud RL tradition, and my Manchester mate backed it up, by suggesting that there was bound to be a pub showing it in Wigan, with a good atmosphere.
The latter is important. My Bulldogs team made the GF, and I am hoping there are some enthusiastic followers, that obviously will know about the game, as Wigan supporters surely do.
Can anyone confirm this, and provide the details of a venue in Wigan? My mate says Wigan would be better, because of the atmosphere as I said, but if it was too early (10:30am kick-off), that Manchester would surely have a place showing it. I don't mind the latter, but... again, the atmosphere is really important to me.
Thanks in advance.
