Heading over from Wigan in Feb

[Wiganer]

Hope you love Sydney but hate watching the game.
I hope we get the chance to have a few beers with you all before or after the game.
If you would like help in organising pub get togethers whilst you are out here, send me a PM and ill happily do what I can.

Wigan are a second rate team playing in a second rate comp.
No Wigan player would make The Roosters 17.

[Wiganer]

Your banter is boring, Thirteen. Put some effort in Zzzz.

Welcome to the Chookpen, Wiganer.

good onya mate!! you and the boys will have an awesome trip i'm sure. trip tip.....dont forget to spend a day at the coogee bay hotel Its right on the beach and i am sure there will be heaps to look at!!!!

Thanks for the replies up to now.

To be honest, I'm just happy to be following my dream of watching Wigan in Australia. The actual game and result isn't really that significant to me to be honest! A victory would be a bonus. I watch the majority of NRL rounds over here and no doubt about it, Roosters and the NRL are far superior. We're going through a transition but hopefully we'll earn some respect that I think is sometimes lacking for the British game.

I play myself so absolutely buzzing to visit the city and a country where RL is a national sport as RL is religion in Wigan, sandwiched between egotistical big football cities of Manchester and Liverpool. Wiganers are good down to earth folk, like a beer and create a great atmosphere inside and outside the ground. Make sure you take time to have a chat with us…Though be aware, our accents are much more broader than the Burgess boys!

Forget the Olympic on match day.... unless you enjoy drinking out of plastic cups.... you may as well drink at the stadium.

Yeah I always wondered about the fact you guys largely invented the English language but so many of ewe cannot speek it well..

In addition to the Coogee Bay Hotel the nearby Clovelly Hotel near Clovelly Beach is pretty good too!!!.....Plenty of Backpackers from the 'Old Dart' around Coogee, Clovelly and surrounds so you will feel at home...but with way warmer weather!!

Oreet, myself and 4 others will be visiting Australia for the first time to support Wigan against you lot in February. There will probably be a good 200-300 Wiganers making to trip so should be a good atmosphere!

We're obviously buzzing about the trip and wondering where the best place will be for pre-match drinks where we can hang some flags, sing some songs and have banter.

Cheers!

[Guest]

I wonder how many tickets have been sold for the game. Cant wait for the game

[Wiganer]

Again, cheers for the messages.

We're over there for 8 days so any suggestions of things to do in and around Sydney other than getting blind drunk?
