I am heading into Manchester/Old trafford on my own at dinner time and meeting up with family/extended family later on about 4pm. Was wondering were might be best to bump into some fellow wiganers and have a decent chat about the game?..

Try the Oyster Bar near Victoria Station everybody going there

Cheers mate... I wasn't planning on wearing leather... Is there a dress code

I am sure there will be planty of Wiganers in every pub in the area on the morrow , in fact I don't think you will be able to move for them .

Theres gonna be Wiganers all over the place from what ive heard

Having a decent chat about the game will be a struggle though unless you get there early



Places ive heard/read that Wigan fans are going for a drink:-
Shambles square/Exchange square, This seems to be most popular so far
St Ann square & Albert square (Manchester food & drink festival)
Pubs adjacent to the ground either Sam Platts, The Trafford or the Bishops Blaize
The Lowry

Yeh Cherry and White.

Moon, sinclairs (oyster bar), beer festival, pubs near old trafford. There'll be Wiganers everywhere. They all come out the woodwork for a final. Shame they can't turn up all year.

Thanks Guys.. There ain't much difference between "Cherry and white" and " Red and White" in colour so I best be careful.. One wouldn't want to be found conversing with the enemy!

There is a massive difference between " Cherry and White " and " Red and White "

Heading to Sam Platts when we get around the ground. A better bet than The Bishops and The Traffors IMO, everyone getting off the trams will head straight to these two pubs and they will be rammed.

Here it is on google maps for those interested[urlhttp://maps.google.co.uk/maps?oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&q=sam+platts+pub+manchester&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=sam+platts+pub&hnear=Manchester,+Greater+Manchester&hl=en&view=map&cid=1673817812883537177&iwloc=A&ved=0CIUBEKUG&sa=X&ei=cWSmTLalHdqRjAeX58FH[/url

Computer says NO!!!

People wearing the shirt say " YES "

Sam Platts is right on the Canal.. NIce i might give it a try.

If you see a sad get in a black coat looking lonely please say hello... I accept pints of larger as donations.

Who'd have thought the man from Del Monte would be able to make it to the Grand Final.

Might be a " Pineapple Head " stood on one of the touchlines,

I am banking on Sam Tomkins scoring a PEACH of a TRY..

Pat Richards is pearfect

I agree but Lime Farrell has well "desserts" his place this year

Stop. I'm off for some kip, long day ahead, see you all tomorrow ( today ) block E235

Head for Sacha's bar on Tib Street - its probably halfway between Piccadilly and Victoria.

You'll pay 25% less for each drink there - am surprised the whole of Wigan isnt heading there!

Remember you'll need to pay to get into the likes of Sam Platts and Bishops Blaize

Thanks guys and girls... I guess its oyster bar to start with...Come on Wigan...

Gonna give The Quadrant a try after parking up.

well said woody, i big time agree it does my head in that,
