HOW TO GET THERE BY CAR
From The South:
Leave the M6 to Junction 25 then take the A49 to Wigan. After two miles you will reach a junction that has a McDonalds on your right. Turn left into 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.
PARKING
There are 2500 spaces for fans on match days, and it is very advisable to use the specified areas and not to park anywhere else in Robin Park, except on the JJB Stadium Car Parks themselves.
Most spaces are unreserved, so if you are going to the Stadium on the day of a big match, get there early to ensure you have a space.
BY TRAIN
Wigan's central railway stations are a good 20 minute walk from the ground. So you may want to take a taxi, or if time, visit a couple of pubs on the way to the ground! 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.
WHERE TO DRINK
There is a new bar has called Champions which is directly opposite the main entrance to the JJB stadium. Welcomes well behaved visiting supporters!
The Red Robin pub is a couple of minutes from the ground opposite the Cinema Complex. It is generally advertised for home fans, but away fans are also welcome if well behaved!!
The Orwell at Wigan Pier is worth a visit. It is an award winning pub with a good selection of traditional ales and regular guest beers & good food. The pub is situated on the canal side & the ground is a short walk along the canal. It is also only 5 minutes walk from both the train stations. If you follow the A49 into Wigan from the motorway, you will pass the pub on your right.
Beer is apparently available within the stadium too.
FOOD
Inside the stadium there are concourses where pies & hot dogs are available as well as the usual hot & cold drinks.
In the Robin Complex outside the ground there are several food outlets including Pizza Hut & Burger King.
