O/T Wigan area : Thu Jan 05, 2012 9:08 pm  
Thinking about moving back to the Wigan area for the first time in a very long time. Looking at the Redrow houses opposite Robin Park. Anyone know what the area/schools are like? I know it'll be handy for the rugby and the missus shopping!

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

If you want good schools Billinge is the place. St Marys and Chapel End both are very good primary schools. St. Marys is a feeder school for St. Peters at Orrell, one of the top performing schools in the county. There are some nice new builds on the old Billinge Hospital site.

Too close to enemy territory there for me Brian. It's bad enough working with a couple of the buggers never mind having to live on the same street as a load of them. :lol:

I'd vouch for St Peter's good school with plenty of positive discipline seems to get the best out of it's students it would be my pick of high schools in the area.

How Lowton (nestled between Golborne & Leigh which is part of Wigan Borough) and on our side of the East Lancs Road could be classed as Warrington is one of life's great mysteries. :shock:
