Apparently Scott's bar across road from the ground is friendly but assume mixed pub. We're going Manchester then grab the Preston train (to Horwich Parkway) just after two
Horwich town center will be a good 20 mins walk.....recommend cab. There's The Beehive on the roundabout (Chorley New Road and 2 mins from ground) and also Scott's which is actually bang outside the ground (maybe home fans only). Also the Radisson Hotel built into/under the stand has a bar but doubt you will get in on match day unless suited & booted?
