Looking to stay over the night for our game on the 15th of May, hopefully in and around some good pubs and relatively close to the JJB.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Premier Inn at marus bridge might be worth a look, Taybarns for food adjacent, about 1 mile from the stadium

Brocket Arms is looking good, will book it tomorrow at some point.
Looks like it could be a cracking game between two sides attacking well at the moment, really looking forward to it.
Thanks for the advice.

If you are into paranormal experiences, Mabs Cross Hotel on Wigan Lane is recommended.
Many rings got mysteriously snatched there.

Wigan is rubbish for hotels for inbetween the town centre/JJB.
The Quality Inn across from Central Park is probably the nicest but is on the wrong side of the town centre. The Brocket, although pretty far out of the town centre is of a good location and is part of one of the most popular, decent pubs outside the centre.
There's a hotel being built on the Trencherfeild Mill site that will be of a good location for the town and JJB.

Conroy - Being a Latics fan i'm already immune to watching sh*te.
Sally Cinnamon - Treat the Saints forum as you would if you met a girl from St Helens. Best policy would be to avoid altogether but if you absolutely can't resist temptation then take every possible precaution.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_36121.jpg |

The Quality Hotel is now the Oak Hotel Wigan (or Wigan Oak Hotel) - You're sacked Judith!
As someone who's stayed at the Brockett on a regular basis I can only advise you to ensure that you're smashed out of your head or that you take sleeping tablets to ensure you get some shut-eye. The bar staff have a very annoying habit of sorting the empties outside at gone midnight and at the crack of bird$hit. |

We have stayed at the Brocket on many occasions and the only thing that really lets it down is the ridiculous size of the car park! We parked our new car on the road outside (in front of the disused garage) and some lovely person scratched it for us! We tried the Bellingham which was OK - good car park but unfortunately there was a wedding on and the noise continued until the small hours. Rooms were a little tired but OK and the breakfast was very good. Bit of a walk to JJB so you need plenty of sustenance from pies!!
