I see that bolton have a game at home to chelsea on Saturday, which will make the M61 a bit of a crawl - please could any Wiganers recommend an alternative route which won't get me lost!
In the past I've used the Orrell turnoff of the M6 whenever the M61 has been chocker, but i see that it's undergoing roadworks at the moment.
any help would be gratefully received!
Thanks very much in advance.

Traffic isn't too bad on the M61 when the Whites are at home. If you don't fancy queuing at junction 6 and going through Aspull, come off at junction 5 (Westhoughton/Chequerbent) and go through Westhoughton and Hindley.
M6 depends if you're northbound or southbound, but Marus Bridge or Orrell are both easy enough to the ground (can't remember what stage the roadworks are at in Orrell).

Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.

| Follow the red line from M6 J26. Go past Heinz, and down through Marsh Green.
No roadworks at Orrell. Click on image to enlarge.

Wouldn't it be quicker to turn right when coming off the M6 and then turn down Fleet St/City Road? |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Yes, and then turn right down Montrose Avenue, that would be the route I would take. |

Isn't the fooy a 3-00pm kick off in which case if getting to Wigan for say 12-00pm to 1-00pm for drinks etc then should be no massive footy traffic build up at that stage and our game will be finished and most/all of traffic away by the time the footy finishes at around 4-45pm???

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Does anyone actually got to Bolton games anyway? Will the rugby even sell out anyway?

Where would you suggest would be a good parking spot along/near that route leaving a few minutes walk to the ground? |

[quote="BBC":3ldafglw]St Helens, due to move out of their 120-year-old ground at the end of the season, desperately wanted to mark the occasion with a victory in front of a full house.... And Wigan were left celebrating inside the enemy camp for the first time since September 2003.[/quote:3ldafglw]

Bolton usually sell out there away allocation and get maybe 18.000 home supporters on they are not the Latics you know. Lowest P.L game on a weekend this season is 20,265 and that was against Stoke City. |

Parked at the Montrose pub before with no problems, it's just a straight walk to the stadium from there. |
