Wigan

Directions

From The South:
Leave the M6 to Junction 25 then take the A49 to Wigan. After around two miles you should pass an Aldi store on your left, before reaching a large roundabout, that is traffic light controlled. Turn left at this roundabout into Robin Park Road and continue into Scot Lane. The ground is down Scot Lane on your right.

From The North:
Leave the M6 at Junction 26 and follow the signs for Wigan town centre (this road meets the A49) then turn left into Robin Park/Scot Lane. The ground is down Scot Lane on your right.

There is a large free car park at the stadium, behind the away end, which costs £4. As you may expect though, there is sometimes quite a delay in getting out of this car park after the game, especially of there has been a larger than normal crowd in attendance. Make sure though that you avoid parking on the nearby Retail Park, as parking there is restricted to two hours and I have been informed of a number of fans who have ended up getting parking tickets (£50) because of this.

Pubs

The traditional pub for away fans visiting the JJB stadium is the Red Robin, which is only a few minutes walk away from the ground opposite the Cinema Complex. Also at the stadium itself is the Marquee Bar which is specifically for away supporters to use.

John Heeley from Wigan informs me; 'I can happily recommend paying a visit to The Orwell at Wigan Pier before going to the stadium.  It is an award winning pub with a good selection of traditional ales and regular guest beers. The food is very good also. The pub is situated on the canal side and a short walk from the pub along the canal will take you to the ground. It is also only 5 minutes walk from both the train stations'. Having visited the Orwell myself, I can certainly echo the above comments. If you follow the A49 into Wigan from the motorway, you will pass the pub on your right. On the same complex as the ground, you will find the Kudos Nightclub, which opens before and after games. It is located behind one corner of the ground where the main ticket office is (next to the North Stand). A good atmosphere, SKY TV and you can also drink outside, providing you ask for a plastic glass at the bar. Please note that alcohol is not served in the away section.

By Train

Wigan's central railway stations (Wigan North Western & Wallgate stations) are a good 20 minute walk from the ground. So either take a taxi, or break up the journey with a few pub stops on the way! On exiting from either station head under the railway bridge and keep to the right. Follow the road (A49), making sure you stick to the right for around 10 minutes. You should pass the Seven Stars Hotel and then pass under a second railway bridge. The Robin Park complex and the JJB Stadium should then be visible. Turn down Robin Park Road and you are there.
