Wigan Away Trains 23/11/13

Currently £50 from London to Wigan return even this far in advance. (Virgin trains)
Anyone who is good with train deals help me out?

Also I have heard there is a chance of the fixture date being changed due to Wigan being in the Europa League?
Dont wanna buy non refundable train tickets and it then change.

It's the weekend after international fixtures (WC play offs) so fixtures will still be a Saturday I'd presume..

As for train tickets currently £46.50 adult return leaving at 10.30 from Euston & the 17.28 back (Via Crewe)

Should be a good day out (performance dependent)

Wont affect those from Brighton, but due to major resignalling work, all trains between Lewes and Hastings via Eastbourne will be suspended that weekend - new signalling equipment gets readied for use.

One of the most boring away days I have ever been on, hope this one is better for you lot.

There were cheaper trains avaiable but you had to be prepared to arrive into Wigan at 9.25am! I opted for the more expensive trains and a 12.25 arrival. No idea why there were so few cheap tickets that arrive at a normal time! Plenty of choice coming home, its just the London-Wigan leg thats a problem!

Last time I went, we found a pub with beer at a special promo of 98p!! Far from boring.

Booked mine a few weeks ago, found it hard to find cheap tickets going up. but managed to get a return for £35 but via Manchester going up and via Crew going back.

Tomnorthi · Sep 30, 2013

Right thanks for the help guys. After renewing my railcard, and going a different route I have as follows:

Outward:
09:43 to Birmingham £7.25
12:20 to Wigan £5.30

Return:
19:12 to London £12.55

£25.10 London to Wigan return, not bad booking it now.

Was that August 2004 and a 3-0 defeat? They went up that season to the Premier League and played amazing. I think it was Jimmy Bullard that tore us apart that day.

I stayed up in Atherton for a weekend after I'd met a girl in Ibiza. Cardiff City were playing at Wigan on the Saturday and it seemed the whole of the Greater Manchester Police force were about. Mind you, it was the season the BBC made that documentary on the Soul Crew causing aggro everywhere.

Hope the date isn't changed.

Two nights hotel in Manchester booked.

redoubtable seagull · Sep 30, 2013

Their Europa fixtures are already listed. No change to our date.

RM-Taylor · Sep 30, 2013

Only £15 to get in at Wigan, can see us taking 2500 odd as will be a new ground for the fair majority.

Oi thought we were changing at Crewe on way back to refuel with tinnies and curry :smile:

Hope I got the right Kev now

patchamalbion · Sep 30, 2013

I'd think there will be at least 1000 to this.

We used to take 600 odd to Carlisle in League One, despite playing them year on year. I think we'll find an extra 400 in The Championship against a team we haven't played in about 10 years.
