Parked in the street about a mile away from the ground......was parked on the road with the ATS automaster on but firther up by the bridge where the road narrows and the park....was in a side street...got away fine after the game and was home very quickly...

Well worth parking that bit further away IMO......

Best pubs are at the station, but if you want to save yourself a few bob, about a 10 minute walk from the station under the bridge is an alcohol zone where you can take some cans, not advised to get home end tickets as ther was 70s style crowd trouble when we scored in the wigan end

where's best to park - asda?

A.M · « **Reply #83 on:** January 17, 2009, 10:26:40 pm »

Was the trouble in the stand right next to the away fans?

Guaranteed will happen again

Get back to libpool and stay there.
Wigan doesnt have hotels as no-one wants to stay there.

Youll see why

Have you never taken a train to a local away?

markay_stinkay · « **Reply #94 on:** January 29, 2009, 07:38:17 pm »

Would recommend parking in Alker Street or one of the surrounding streets which is about a 15min walk from the ground.

Avoided both the pre and post-match traffic and didn't have to pay for the privilege.

scott · « **Reply #95 on:** February 24, 2010, 02:39:08 pm »

going to drive to this one on the 8th....

What Pub is everyone going to for pre-match drinks???

Theres a few of us drinking in ashton in makerfield from late afternoon then getting a taxi upto the ground roughly a tenner between 4 of us.

LukeLFC · « **Reply #99 on:** March 9, 2010, 03:13:44 pm »

went the red robin last night, packed with reds, quite easy to get served, good atmosphere, also went for one at the sports bar by the away end where the coaches park.

Hi me and my mate are gonna be over there for the wigan away game Dec 18th. Wondering how much the tickets will be from London to Wigan return? Who to book through etc.? If you can help me out it'd be much appreciated. Cheers

sorry mate. moving fixtures is outside my area of responsibility..

if you however let us know if its the villa game or the wigan game you're going to , can hopefully assist a wee bit..

Gerr8ard · « **Reply #104 on:** October 25, 2011, 01:02:31 pm »

its the Wigan game on the 21st. Just had the dates mixed up thats all. We'll be travelling from London to the game

take a look at www.nationalrail.co.uk

Take a look at london-manchester or london-crewe and then manchster-wigan or crewe-wigan. should be around 35-40 pounds.. (london-wigan gives you stupid prices..)

Depends on your schedule and other plannes, but you stuggle to get to london after the match without taking a 6-7 hours on the trains/buses as far as i can see..

Other option could be trying to get a lift on here or if there should be coaches going south.. wednesday wigan just before x-mas is not category A in interest so to speak..

If possible, i'd have gone to liverpool after the match and taken a train in the morning..

RedSpottedHanky or something are doing a £5 e voucher when you sign up. Could be useful for you.

Hi, wondering if its actually possible to get the 11.03 train back to Liverpool after this game. Game will finish at roughly 10pm. There won't be a lock-in will there?

No lock in

Gerr8ard · « **Reply #110 on:** November 15, 2011, 10:16:31 am »

so we should have ample time to get outta out of the stadium and make the 11.03 train back to liverpool?

Well yeah as the stadium is only a mile out of town you can walk it in 20mins

Gerr8ard · « **Reply #112 on:** November 30, 2011, 11:37:34 am »

random question. do you think this game (21st of Dec. at night) has much of a chance of postponement? are there any credible reports about december forecast? i'm aware wigan don't have the greatest pitch going round either. hope this isn't an absurd thing to ask!

Shanklygates · « **Reply #113 on:** November 30, 2011, 01:35:26 pm »

It's 3 weeks away - would you trust a long-term forecast that far ahead? Always a chance but we won't know until a few days before. Autumn has been one of the mildest on record.
