Been told its opening at 3pm 😊
Good stuff which stands are the new ibeer machines in josie? And how much is a pint?
I've seen they have some in the East and it appears to be Madri so expect it to be around 5 pounds possibly more. As far as I'm aware their are 3 at each end of the stand so not a huge amount but hopefully if they go off without a hitch, it'll mean less queues. However technology doesn't always go off without a hitch :lol:
Cheers bp im in the east stand and its always a mare queuing for a pint

I've been to many many grounds watching several sports and their are only maybe 3 or 4 where getting a pint isn't an ordeal. The vast majority of grounds have kids running the bars who don't seem to really know much about what they're doing :lol:

They should fit pipes to our seats so we can self-serve from our seats.

the biggest irony is that we have the ability to serve 8 pints at a time (or they used to be there) but we insist on pouring 1, and then the next, so have a big queue

get 1 person pulling 8 pints to half way and then top up, if they insist on pulling them individually

i've been to the cricket a few times, and they turn the crowds round with virtually no queues, but they are constantly pumping the pints in bulk and passing them over

Anything special planned? I think we will head over early and maybe nip into town before hand, Been 33 years since I've been in the town centre, ( they'd only finished the Galleries a couple of years earlier! ) need to see Billy's statue.
If you want a pint couple of decent pubs you can nip into
Royal Oak on Wigan Lane
Wigan Central
Tap N Barrel (near bus station)
Symposium (Mesnes St)
I like the one near to Billy's statue. John Bull is it? Mainly in summer when you can sit outside on the grass.
