Sim086 0 Posted June 17, 2011 you really cant help some people can you................. very unlikely is going to get moved if any would be likely it would be swansea man city and for £16 i wouldnt lose any sleep.travelodge isnt that cheap as i looked plus its 5 miles from the ground so would need to pay transport. this is 1.2 miles you can unless your fat and lazysome of you really have nothing better to do then whinge/moan do you. seriosuly get a life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smudger 0 Posted June 17, 2011 Why would anybody want to spend a night in Wigan???Surely a better bet is to book a room in either Liverpool or Manchester if you fancy making a weekend of it? [<:o)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted June 17, 2011 eh ?A fair number of fans travel to games like Wigan Fri night (getting there in time for a few drinks/curry etc)Means next morning they can leisurely head towards a few pubs before the game without the stress of trying to get there sat morn. As your hotel is 2 mile from the ground I can hardly think that it is too much of an ordeal to drive the few mile and park up near where your hotel is and follow the same itenary - or likewise drive/taxi/bus to another part of town to drink/eat before the game.At £15 for 4 of you (more if you want to kip on the floor) it is incredible value and simply another option for fans, rather than any holier than thou dispute over accomodation.
