Wigan Coachways have cancelled the coach that was running to City tonight.
Booked it over a week ago and they rang 5 mins ago to tell me it had been cancelled due to lack of bookings.
I need a solution, tried supporters club and they only have 1 place left, there are 2 of us and the last thing I want to do is have to drive.
I was hoping a coach/mini bus but if not, train is best bet as you say.
Anyone know the best station to go to from Wigan? Closest to ground?
I think Victoria is closest (according to a mate of mine) then jump in a taxi.
If anybody knows any coaches, etc please let me know asap. Thanks.
Piccadily is closest and sign posted its about a mile away and you can get a bus if you fancy from the bus station! Off the top of my head theres a little station a bit closer called ashby or summat but im not sure what trains go that way!
Train to piccadily then there are buses running to ‘Sportscity’ (the magic bus), that will take you straight to the ground for a quid. The busses run from outside piccadily21, but you’ll see the queues anyway.
FA Cup Winners 2013, sounds good that
alex were going in the moon at 4 and then getting the 4:58 train, come with us if you like its no trouble. oh and we tend to jump in a load of taxis usually a quid each when we go to city, united, liverpool and everton.

We’ve seen the 5:56 train and that looks most likely at the moment for us.
I think the trains from Wigan go to Victoria. if they do then jump on the metrolink to Piccadilly.
Once at Piccadilly come out of the station & turn right at the lights to go up Ducie Street. Walk up there past a couple of car parks & apartment/hotels/converted warehouses & you’ll notice a canal on your right on side.
Get on the tow path & walk up the canal past some relatively posh looking apartments till you come to a road bridge that’s a dual carriageway.
Up on to the road, cross over the dual carriageway. Take your first left & from there you can see the ground & follow the crowds.
Its not really any bigger walk than from Wigan town centre to the DW.
Or you can be a lazy get & jump in a cab but be warned I tried that once with a group of us & the taxis in Manchester get very busy approaching kick off for City games & I think we ended up getting to the ground 15 minutes late after waiting for over half an hour for a cab when (unkonw to us at the time) it’d have been quicker to walkI think the trains from Wigan go to Victoria. if they do then jump on the metrolink to Piccadilly.

Cheers for the advice.. could save us a bitta time and money!Or if it’s a Victoria train change at Salford Crescent, loads of trains go through there to Piccadily. Then walk as Tyldsley said.

I was going to just pay on the day so thank’s for that, i’ll inform the troops that it’s off to somewhere with ESPN if I can’t find any other coaches! :roll:
