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.

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”
