Wigan Athletic FC
JJB Stadium
Where To Drink
The traditional pub for away fans visiting the JJB
stadium is the Red Robin, which is only a few
minutes walk away from the ground opposite the Cinema Complex.
At the stadium itself is the Marquee Bar which is specifically for away
supporters to use and also welcomes families.
John Heeley from
Wigan adds; 'I can happily recommend paying a visit to The Orwell at Wigan
Pier before going to the stadium. It is an award winning pub with a good selection of
traditional ales and regular guest beers. The food is
also good. The pub is
situated on the canal side and a short walk from the pub along the canal will take you to
the ground. It is also only 5 minutes walk from both the train stations'.
Having visited the Orwell
myself, I can certainly echo the above comments. If you follow the A49 into Wigan from the
motorway, you will pass the pub on your right. Or if you walking from
one of the Wigan railway stations to the stadium then you should pass it
on your left. Otherwise in the centre of town is a Wetherspoons outlet
called the 'Moon Under Water' which was popular with away supporters on my
last visit. Also worth a visit is the award winning 'Anvil' pub, which is
listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. This is located next to the bus
station.
The 'Swan & Railway' pub in the town centre, opposite the entrance to Wigan
North Western Railway Station is best avoided by away supporters.
