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.
