Anybody know the best way to get to oldham or the Southend fans pub from the city centre. If it’s tram where do I need to get off.

It’s a bit out the way, you can get the tram into the town centre, but then it’s probably about a mile and a half walk to the ground.

There is a premier inn which has a pub attached not far from the ground. It’s a walk or a taxi job from the town centre.

A nice little pub called the Greyhound Inn across the main road from the ground in a housing estate.

Sad to be missing this one, Trust coach sold out before I could nab a spot and the train prices in this country are disgusting so I’ll be watching from home

All the trams in Manchester are clearly marked out regarding destinations. However my last and only trip to Oldham was by car so I have no idea how far a tram stop would be from the ground.

Got the answer for you:

Pink/grey tram line from Manchester Victoria if supping in Manchester. Westwood is the closest tram stop to the ground - 15/20 min walk depending on your pace. We’re not spoilt for pubs close to the ground but there are a couple. If supping in Oldham, get off the tram a couple of stops later in Oldham Central (fox and pine a good pub in town). You’ll want a 5/10 min taxi to the ground from there.

As a naive youngster travelling from Manchester Victoria to watch our beloved Blues in 73 at Rochdale, passed a station called Oldham Mumps!
I couldn't believe a station was the same as an infectious disease.
Am assuming the team are travelling on Friday with tents and bedding down in a local park?
Shrimpers headed by train on the day, be warned.
This looks the season for train torture.
Spent three extra hours on GRW at the weekend back and forth to London. At one stage, like the Fylde express, we were a 'stranded' train.

Mine too!

Of memory serves. Last time I went on a Tuesday there was a brewers fayre or something right by the ground.

Not really my idea of a decent pub tbh

Maybe ill just stay in Manchester proper before getting a tram etc.

Have you considered Blues on tour coach?
Great service and value.

ATTENTION TO ALL THOSE GOING BY ROAD!

Motorists warned about M62 closures over two weekends

National Highways chiefs say the weekend closure of part of the M62 is "unavoidable".

www.bbc.com

Be aware that the closure of the M62 will significantly impact your arrival at Boundary Park. I used to live in the area and it will be a NIGHTMARE!

I hope the club are aware of this and plans have been made to accommodate this.

Good luck to one and all.

UTB!

Unfortunately the Brewer's Fayre pub is now closed, save for serving the Premier Inn guests' breakfasts.

Premier Inn have done this with a lot of Brewer's Fayres, and are believed to be looking to convert parts of their buildings into more rooms for the hotel.

I can’t believe a NL club would choose to travel to an away game by Road considering the number of roadworks and traffic snarl ups we get in this country, I hope they set off Wednesday at the latest etc etc

357 Shrimpers made the journey. Well done all of those.
