what's the wigan equivalent of the Lower Angel or Wilkies?

The Swan & Railway opposite the station used to do a good pint. Not been in for years though.

The Anvil next to the Bus Station

Need heart to go in there.

Moon under the Water just up from the station on the right Witherspoon pub cheap good beer and food. Then a twenty minute walk down to the stadium use the canal from Pottery road.
Cant not wait till Friday

Last orders bar and mortimers on king st for pre match drinkies

If you like real ale then turn left out the station, walk up into town turn left as you pass last orders ( unless you've no taste buds then you can go in there) walk into the church grounds keeping church on your right, you will then see the anvil, in my humble opinion the best real ale in town centre. Boulivard and moon under water are alright.

Loads of places once you get out of the station.

Crate of beer is the best for Wigan away.

Not sure about where im drinking in wigan.... But im starting in the Rodney at 5

Sam's bar isn't far from the ground. It is always full of fans and a good atmosphere before and after the match!

....old Wigan joke (no, not Doc Murray)

A bloke's driving his car down the A49 in Wigan, and he's lost, so he pulls up next to one of the natives

"Excuse me pal, how do you get to Goose Green Labour Club"

"Me brother takes us"

I'll get me coat
