From crudely sketching a path on google earth, when the new bridge is in place, the Chill Factor (Wetherspoons) will be about 0.8 miles, and the Trafford Centre Bus Station will be 1.3 miles.

Unspoilt interior, four or five rooms, on the 10 & 67 bus routes. I'd reckon if you're walking to/from here, then allow a good 5 min. walk to the new stadium, certainly 10 mins max. Holts ales, by the way!
I'd say it's more like 20 / 25 minutes walking time mate judging by the walking directions on Google Maps.
I've said it before but it looks to me that Eccles is the best bet and then a bus to the stadium.

That was spoke of as part of the more grandiose stadium plans.

The Unicorn is nearer, but I'd be absolutely amazed if that place had any real ale. If you want a decent variety, (and some ballast), then Wetherspoons (at Eccles bus interchange / tram terminus / Morrisons), is your best bet. It's called the Eccles Cross. There's also the bonus of another Holts pub - the Lamb - being only 40 yards away. These again are both GBG entries.
Make that a 15-25 minute walk. All depends on how fit you are...

To my knowledge the bridge will be finished when the stadium is, as for distance you need to travel to get to a bus / taxi how far is the DW stadium from the train station? 2 miles from our stand consider u have to walk all the way round ? eccles isn't too far to walk if you walk down barton lane maybe 2 mile past at least 3 pubs I'm not sure something to consider I'm sure when plotting our new pre post match drinking habits
I surpose it will be a case of trial and error at the begining where to drink/how to travel there will be teething problems its just about embracing change and not getting frustrated.

If there's anyone on here from Eccles RL maybe they can answer but does the clubhouse have a bar?, notice that there is a path under the motorway from the training area that would maybe make it a 10 minute walk?
Would be a brilliant way for Eccles to raise revenue if they opened up to allow pre match drinkers.
For after match drinks on a Friday the Grapes on Church Street opens again this weekend and you quite often get a few fans in the Oddies after Friday night games. What about the talk of a Harvester being built on the stadium site?
