Quote: Danny_Robbo "I live in Bedworth near Nuneaton. I don't make it to nearly as many games as I'd like (only made the final last season!), as travelling up on a friday night is a nightmare and by the time I get away from work (at Warwick Uni campus) the M6 is usually a car park. The cost of travel also puts me off these days. It's £40 petrol in the car or £38 return in the train with 3 changes. I've usually done the journey once a month already to see friends and family in Wigan so I don't have time or the money during the rest of my weekends to do the trip again.'"


Yeah I find that getting up on the M6 on a Friday evening is a nightmare which is why I would have liked more games on Saturday and Sunday. Add to that currently I work Friday nights and last season I found it hard to get to most games.

We have left Cov before at 4pm and not got to Wigan until half 8, it was the Hudds game in 2006 when all I seen was the Danny Orr try icon_lol.gif But we find if we leave around 2 then its fine, we get in Wigan around 4 but then find ourselves killing time before the game.

Its good to see a good few Wigan fans from the Midlands on here and I expect there would be more too.

I've also seen a lad in a Wigan shirt walking around Cov Uni at the end of last season and I know it wasnt Odemwingie so thats another Wigan fan at Cov Uni!

How do you travel back from cov? As in what roads/motorways.
Getting up the M1 from me is quite difficult to start with if I have labs. Then the A50 isnt the best of roads, and again the M6 is awful, I usually end up coming off for Warrington and making my way down B roads and what not and it's normally faster.

If I end up having labs till 5 this term though and we have games on friday nights I will have no way of getting to them icon_sad.gif

I travel that way fairly often, though not usually on a Friday night, admittedly, and I take the M6 toll road, M42, A45.

What's the touch line like down there mate? 'It's long, it's white, it's about a hundred metres long!'. Xbox 360 Tag : FrowningPiano PS3 Tag : dan_tess:12437.jpg

I'm surprised by how many Wigan tops I've seen whilst I've lived down here. Funilly enough I usually spot them at the Tesco at the Ricoh or the Asda over in Walsgrave. icon_biggrin.gif

To be honest, until I move back up north again (in talks with the missus after we get married later in the year) I'm writing off much chance of seeing more than the finals and the occasional saturday game. The M6 is just too random, and even with the Toll you just end up getting stuck at Jct12!

From Cov I take the M6 all the way (I get on at Jct3 where I live or Jct4 if I go from work off the A45). Generally, if I'm going to get stuck on the M6 it's usually around Jct12-17. If it's particularly bad further down I'll take the toll.

I've tried all sorts of different ways to bypass the M6 over the years but found that if there's been an accident on the M6 then the roads around get snarled up with other people trying to get round it as well.
