Running horses is usually a good meet up point before the game

Real ale suppers amongst you might want to try my mate's pub, The Turk's Head. It's not all that near the ground, though, being about a mile out of the town centre on North Road, but it's worth a visit early doors, with plenty pubs between it and the ground.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

There's also the Royal Alfred right by the station.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

Basically there are numerous places to choose from. I hear the Imperial's alright so long as you enjoy getting smashed on a night out.

How far is the new ground from the centre? Closer then Knowsley road?
I'm thinking of venturing in on the train.

From the station 15 minutes tops if you go the slower way over the nice new bridge, but that's just cause you are walking at the pace of the slowest group.

What's the rumpus, Tom?
[quote="Pemps":1dso5atj]I can't confirm Bennett's exact words but I believe they were along the lines of "Strewth Ian, I wouldn't touch him with yours. He's a flammin' Gala". [/quote:1dso5atj]

I would check if the trains are running on good friday into St.helens central as its been replacement bus service for a while due to engineering works while they fit overhead electric cabling between Huyton and Wigan.
This work will ultimately allow high speed electric trains to run from Liverpool via st.Helens and Wigan and then upto Preston and Scotland. Rather than as now having to make do with those slow smelly Pacer and Sprinter diesel trains.
Should make for more regular and faster train journeys between St.Helens and Wigan when finished in 2014
As for pubs, you have the whole town centre to go for. The Glass house will no doubt be rammed, so i would avoid that.
The George is worth a visit but will also be rammed.
The Counting House is a big pub with big screens only 10 mins from the ground. serves decent beer including real ale.
The Running horses is a Lloyds no1 bar and is big
Further afield real ale fans may like to try the Old England. Not as far as the Turks head to walk from only 15 mins from
the ground. You can get beer from £1.30 a pint
