So, after the debacle of trying to catch a train home after the game on Saturday, a few of us headed off to King St for a few sherbets.

Guess what?

The door policy of the first four places we tried to enter after returning from Manchester having seen the town team win its first (important) silverware for over 8 years ....

"Sorry lads, no colours"

How fooolish of me to wear a polo shirt with the club crest on it.

Maybe i should have caught the train to Warrington and enjoyed a pint there instead.

A bit daft imo. Obviously they were expecting trouble from others who would see the "colours" as reason to attack/taunt you.

Still- their loss of money at the end of the day.

Reflex wouldn't let us in either. I found it rather amusing that there was hardly anyone in there



We ended up in Mortimer's, of all places, then Jumpin Jaks, of all places

Luckily a mate of mine lives near enough in the town centre and a few of us dropped off some clothes first thing Saturday morning before departing for the train station.

Safe to say, we rolled in at just before 6am.

That would have been enjoyable!

Walkabout had quite a good number of people in Wigan tops on. The players turned up in there as well as Madge and Radders.

I loved the way simply the best was played literally every 20 mins

Can't believe Tina Turner wasn't played at OT during the post match celebrations?

Had to request it in some dive of a karaoke bar on Portland Street at 2am. Seemed to get a good reception though, what I can remember of it



(BTW they were fine with people wearing colours. Although the players and coaching staff didn't turn up there.)

the trains were a joke, we ended up catching the train to Manchester airport from Salford Cres, turning round and coming back home, seated all the way, got a drink at Machester airport during the 15 minute turnaround, and back home in Appley bridge for 11

Same here. To be fair, the DJ in Mortimer's milked the Wigan victory for all it was worth

So did the one in walkabout, walked in they were playing west virginia

then all the players came in about 2.30 great night was packed with people in Wigan shirts.

I had the same problem. I went round Wigan with a few other who had been to the match, as soon as I got there they'd told me that we couldn't go in anywhere, not even Walkabout as we had trainers on.

I'd guess that it was because Latics were at home earlier in the day. There was noticeably more police knocking about than usual.

Let's just say I wasn't impressed.

We had a great night on Saturday on King St, 10 of us in full colours.. Walkabout was great, players, coaches, Jager, Tina Turner.. was all good..!
