There has been some funny comments on this thread, this takes top prize thus far.... Lol

Thanks for the advice and the amusing cockney bashing.

We are staying as The Mercure Wigan Oak which I think is pretty central. Please do not use this information to actually do some cockney bashing!

Looking forward to trying the pea wet.

Also as there will be no other away fans, are we better off sitting in the middle of you lot for a good bit of banter?

Best place to sit?

Best advice is to probably stay off King St if your really worried that you may get in to some trouble, but then again i have heard more than 1 southerner around king st before and nothing ever seemed to happen.

I'd go behind the posts in the South Stand. It's the Wigan end but you'd get nothing but friendly banter.

you dont get puddings south of the ship canal lol

As a believer in promoting better inter-club relations I could make myself available to help in interpreting between your group and my fellow locals, I consider myself proficient enough to do so as I am a Wiganer born and bred, and I also own the complete box set of Only fools and horses.

He needs to ask for a babbies yed!

Babbies yed, chips, gravy and a barm

I think his head would explode

Chips, babbies yed, scrapings, pey wet and a couple of barm joes would.

Believe it or not I actually work with an Ashton lad (in London) being from Golborne myself I am proficient in Wiganese, we once had a conversation in which we tried to speak as broad and as quick as we could, some of the people genuinely thought we were speaking a foreign language. We can actually slag people off in the same room who have no idea they are the victim of our barbed tongues.

Now King St is a decent night out but I would definitely avoid Ash Vegas unless you're a trained cage fighter, in which case it will be ideal for training.

There's no such place as "Golborne", It's " Gowbun"


(Roberts' pies

As for food, then a meyt an prater slappie should be the order of the day.

Regarding liquid refereshment, it kind of depends on what you're looking for. If it's good ale and banter, then the Anvil is a must.
You could also try the Tudor, on the other side of the bus station, a bit of a student type establishment, but make sure that your innoculations are fully up to date first...

Gow burn
or
Goal bun

anyone who pronounces it
Gol Born
is instantly looked at like the Americans in the slaughtered lamb pub.

Whens the last time you went Ash V? Its cheap (£1.80 pint - most pubs) and quiet -compared to Wigan & Leigh, however I wouldn't come all the way up north to have a session in Ash, unless you've been the races. Avoid King street at all costs

King St night out was 2012 Boxing day before that October 2007
Vegas last August, one of my sisters lives there and it was her birthday

Depends where you go on King St.

Revolution is good.
Ibiza Bar is usually OK.

Few Boozers down the Lane are OK too. Millgate, Bowling Green etc.

Tickets booked in The South Stand. Please take pity on me especially as we could be at the end of a three figure drubbing!
I will be the one shouting Laaaaandon and will be with a bunch of bemused looking lads attending their first game of leauge (including a brazillian).

You should get on with the local ladies then, they like a Brazillian.

I will tee them up and you can hit them out!

Wigan has gone soft these days. I cannot think of a single establishment that will allow you to leave articles of clothing in lieu of payment or anywhere with the late lamented Barbara's welcomming door policy.

Own up, which one of your mates ruined the night?

Big thanks to all in The South Stand for putting up with my behaviour on Friday night. I have no voice left after trying to make myself heard with shouts of Laaannnnndon through the game, along with some choice words for the ref. The banter was great and all in good spirit apart from one hilarious rotund fella to the left of us who was about as amusing as pig poo. He kept laughing at himself for shouting ‘Biancaaaaa’ at us.
Everyone else was quality and I have to say we had a brilliant night out afterwards. Went to a few drinkeries but spent most of the night dancing and boozing in Revolution. The bar had won us all over with their pricing policy of 9 double vodka redbulls for £13.
Loved the fact that all the woman in the town out for the night were either 18 or under or 35 and over. It was like there was a curfew for everyone in their 20’s! Again though, we were met only with good spirits and on some occasions, over friendship!
Special mention to the kebab place over the road for the best cheesy chips, gravy and mayonnaise combo I have had.
Good luck for the rest of the season. Not sure I will be back as a Broncos fan for the foreseeable (unless we get you in CC), but a few of us have vowed to come back at some stage.

Boxing Day fancy dress, awesome night, I occasionally come up for that.

Glad you enjoyed the night, could see and hear you from my seat in the West stand, it was the best part of the game.
