rossmeik Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Hello. There's a group of around 20 of us travelling down from Edinburgh over Easter Weekend for a stag-do and we're attending the Oldham game on the Friday (15th). I'd be grateful for recommendations on pubs to go to before the game. Looking for somewhere close to the ground. We had earmarked the Greyhound Inn. Will they be "stag friendly"? If not, is there anywhere else that is? Would we need to book in places in advance? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an Oldham fan I can think of about a million destinations I'd prefer for a stag do and that's without the added misery of the match Been a long time since I did pre match pubs but I would think the greyhound would be fine as long as you aren't planning on getting your willy's out and burning the place down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, very quickly off the top of my head I can name 22 pubs in just Oldham town centre that are no longer around. The whole borough was once famous for its nightlife - certainly not any more. With regard to "near the ground" your party would have had a great time in The Queens, Brook Tavern, Royal, Trap Inn, Old Grey Mare etc. - but they've all gone too! You get the drift. Personally, I would venture into a district of Oldham called Royton (fairly close to the ground) - still plenty of pubs and bars around there and some much more suited to a stag type atmosphere than the Greyhound would be (in my opinion). Good luck. Hibs fans by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the Carter’s or railway and stick to Royton which isn’t a bad night out close to the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only about 15 minuets walk to the ground too. Where ever you end up - enjoy the beer and the match - have a safe trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy_b_100 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The Greyhound is fine for pre match drinks and stags will probably be very welcome .. walking distance to the ground.... Royton Centre there are a few bars that are good and well populated .. plus there are food places galore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
