[Archived] Wigan Away

[mattjansen]

After nearly eight months without Rovers live its now time to go over the pond again, Wigan away in december. Are there any good pubs to frequent/avoid around wigan?? Anyone travelling from Liverpool on matchday that wants to meet up that would be great.

Wigan is a place to avoid mate, its a bigger hole than most parts of Lancashire and its full of pie eaters

It is quite hard to avoid mate when over for the football, ill take my chances! Pie is good

[stuwilky]

The Orwell at Wigan Pier isnt a bad watering hole. Will be a few Rovers in there and isnt that far from the stadium.

[John Howarth]

There is a bar attached to the club, specifically for away fans. They do a wonderful pie and peas as well

Found an away-guide where Orwell and Red Robin was named as friendly pubs, will probably search for those. Is Wallgate the best station to aim for when arriving from Liverpool?

Doesn't matter whether you come in to Wallgate or North Western - they are across the road from each other and both within an easy walk of the JJB. I think the faster trains use North Western.

Ok great, takes about thirty minutes from Liverpool so its quite nice. Will be great to get over again.

Just had a look at Wigan`s website and home fans are being charged just £20 for this fixture hopefully they will do the same for away fans.

Me too,£3 return from Rochdale was too good to turn down.

I just hope they have a decent well-stocked bar.

But how about this strange fact Wigan last season went 10 league games wtihout a win ( we're on 7 ) on the 8th game Spurs away they were hammered 4-0 hutchings was sacked 2 days later , Bruce appointed still didnt win until the 11th game when they beat us in one of the most bizarre games of footy I've ever witnissed ( how we came away with nothing is a mystery )

Because in the first half the midfield and defence was none existent. The first 45 minutes of that game made the second half against Sunderland last week look like a masterclass. You can't play that bad for half a game and expect to get anything. Second half we were very good until Emerton got sent off and the linesman kept his flag down for their 4th goal. Either way it was a shocking performance by most of the rovers players.

I still have nightmares about Wigan away last season. I had the worst xmas-do hangover ever, I was sat right behind a guy with the noisiest drum known to man and it was probably the worst performance of the season. I'm ashamed to say it but I left 20mins before the end as I could not handle another minute of it!

Is that the one where to smoke you have to stand outside on a wooden walk-way over the river? If so leave your phone at home, personal experience and all that.

Yes cheap tickets, I've been a couple of times already this year friendly town and good win against City!

[laughatthedingles]

Their website states that tickets are from £20 with a free junior ticket for every adult one purchased.

clicky clicky

[mattjansen]

[Hasta]

Does anyone know if The Marquee is still available for away fans.

[Ben-2000]

[Sandiway Blue]

Return transport to Rochdale on bus,then return train from Rochdale to Wigan AND match ticket all for £27 each.

[mattjansen]
