Away pubs

Where fellow sufferers gather to share the pain, longing and unrequited transfer requests that make being a Wanderer what it is...

Away pubs

Post by qprmeath » Mon Mar 05, 2012 9:43 pm

Are there any away pubs near the ground or would we be better off in Bolton city centre. Dont be too worried, we are just as optimistic about this one as ye are. At least ye are charging us less than half what we charged you for away end tickets.

To confirm - The Beehive is the away pub - less than a slow pissed ten mins to the away end - and about five if soberish... It's on Chorley New Road...

Does pub food at ok prices (but dubious quality, I'm told)...

Rumour has it the landlord is a Wigan fan, so hard wired to loathe all things Trotters...

Sorry have I upgraded ye to a city? Flying in to Manchester so I could drink there but Id rather sample the big match atmosphere than sit in a soulless Wetherspoons in Manchester.

Bugger that, we're all watching it in the Wetherspoons in Manchester. We need the beer while the match is on, and probably more than a few after it.

Ah well if its big match atmosphere you want then the Middlebrook Pleasuredome at lunchtime on a Saturday will definately fulfil your needs! Ahem. Beehive is your only bet then I'm afraid in the vicinity of the ground, enjoy your visit!

Flying? Do you also find the £51 you charged us as good value?

In answer to your question, Barnstormers and The Bromilow also both let away fans in. I'd say Bromilow is a good 15-20 minute walk from the ground though.

I was told they're his daughters. (I quite often pretend I'm with the away mob to enjoy the hospitality).

Probably open about 10 considering the early kick off.

It normally opens at 11 on a Saturday.

I'd imagine they'd get permission from the police to open up an hour earlier.
