Gravitation attraction within 'local' groups of galaxies can overcome the general expansion. Our galaxy has had a number of collisions already; the Andromeda galaxy will collide with us in about 4.5 billion years.

That'll be nasty for whoever is left
 
I still believe a single 'big bang' wouldn't lead to such collisions as everything would just keep expanding outward.
