Does Leigh have a Railway station?

Oh yes it does. Leigh (Kent), via Tonbridge.

She'd only heard of Wigan because of some Dutch football players that played for Wigan Athletic in their Premier League days . Thats the power of football and the Premier League ,

Chances are that plenty of Brits have only heard of Wigan because of the soccer club's time in the PL too.

The atmosphere in the town has been fantastic since the start of the euros, the council and the LSV have really made an effort and it shows. I’m glad they have had every success after all their hard work. Nice to see such a positive piece for a change of reading all the negative RL ones. 

If it was RL, there would be posts bemoaning the fact that women, yes, women were allowed to play the game, but not just that, but women from other countries and cities that aren't former pit and mill towns!

My experience of trying to match drinks with serious Dutch boozers is that I'd plan your route home in advance and not have anything in the diary for the next couple of days.

Well that won't be a train route then

The only Brits who know that there is a Newcastle in Australia will be rugby league fans.

As a small child in Bury, I was livid when I discovered that Bury Town play in Suffolk.

And don't even get me started on the nonsense about where Leeds keeps its castle.
