The soccerdomes awful mate.

As i said i dont drink , im a miserable GIT .

Rubbish! Look at your profile pic!

That was taken when Frank B announced he was going home



.

Me and the brother in law will be in spoons West Houghton early afternoon whilst we wait for the rest to turn up.
Then on the mini bus to pie land! we have a couple of owd buggers with us,so will be dropped near ground i think..looks like red robbin then!

We normally go the Berkerley for food, pretty good and reasonably priced. The pub directly opposite North Western has a good range of ales from what I can remember.

That's where we will be in the bricklayers arms

Cracking little pub isn't it!

Ben Jonson is boarded up now isn't it.

None of you fancy Rigalettos at the stadium, do a cracking early bird menu and my lad is a chef there - can't even make beans on toast at home

Where is the Bricklayers then Jonny?

Can't find much on it mate apart from this... www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/20157/

Cheers Jonny. Never been there myself, but know the area. Think its just off Market St.

Not sure the name of the boozer but if you follow the stadium around to the right hand side of the east stand, cross the canal follow the road around and there is a Wigan local boozer on your right, I've had a good few drinks in there wearing my Leigh shirt and had no bother (apart from the normal banter) If not the red robin is always busy but not heaving and the ale is ok. Jut a quick note Sharpeys fish and chips are good but really expensive, £7 for fish and chips.

Ah but Charlie can afford it wurzel.

The Ben Jonson is still open and does very well , i must admit though , i have never had a bad meal at Rigolettos , very good , built into the Stadium .

Bricklayers Arms no longer a boozer, its a homeless shelter now

There's a Brickmakers Arms on Woodhouse Lane along Frog Lane. From there you can get to the stadium across the canal bridge. Like Lambretta says the Bricklayers Arms, near the bus station, is now a homeless shelter. The pub closed down many years ago.

How can you tell the difference? Seems to me all pubs in Wiggin look like homeless shelters.

Brickmakers turns out to be the one I've been in, not bricklayers! Belting little pub.

Go into the pear tree on frog lane, opposite deanery school then just walk down to sams bar which is now run by former Wigan player nick du toit, it's just a 10 min walk then to the ground,

Remember a story I was told when he first arrived no idea if its true but…………

(Sorry mods

)

A few of the players were in Bluto’s, music blearing away, the game at the time was go up to a girl and ask very quickly “Ya C*nt a biggan”.

The startled girl usually replied with “WHAT??”

The reply was then said very slowly “You come from Wigan?”

Apparently when it was his turn at the game he asked “You got a fat tw*t”

Lol it wouldn't surprise me


Pop into SAMs bar nick serves behind the bar you can ask him if its true! It's a cracking pub usually gets busy and he's turned it into a proper rugby pub

a proper rugby pub, but i doubt a proper beer pub. I shall be in anvil ith young frank

Probably wont get chance to get there, like others I’ll probably be in the Anvil, waiting for young glow’s train to arrive.
