That's fantastic! A range of alternatives and all in double quick time as well!

Thank You very much indeed, a great help!!

NO, NO, and NO. Pemberton lights and Fleet street are chokka on a Saturday and believe me, the way shown is quicker and less hassle.

You mean it's near to where you live and you don't fancy getting stuck in traffic?

No, just some straight forward good advice to fellow league fans.

LOads of thanks to fellow fans for the information posted in answer to my query. In the event, we thought we would just see how the traffic was on the M60 then if it was really bad approaching the M61 we would use of of the other suggested routes.

As it turned out the traffic was OK, so we went via M61 and Junction 6, then though Wigan centre to the Ground. Coming back was a bit longer as we hit the Bolton traffic but all in all OK, and felt a lot better knowing about a few alternatives if it got really sticky.

Once again, Thanks very Much, very much appreciated.

BTW, saw Steve 'Blocker' Roach at the game. Were any other former Aussie Test guys seen?

Thanks for the advice about the pub parking on Montrose Avenue.

Apart from the first half I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to the JJB (DW) stadium and will be going again whenever I can as an away supporter from now on.

Great stadium and nearby facilities
