The curtain raiser is at the DW on Saturday.

Curtain drawer you mean.

As usual after 20 minutes I'll be using the line 'wish i'd stayed in bed'

Iam driving up from Birmingham on Sunday to watch the WCC and was thinking of making a day of it by watching the under 20s game. How much is entry to the game and where is best to park near to the stadium. Iam bringing up to mates who I have converted into Wigan fans from Brum and Cov so hoping for two good results. Also any idea how many people usually attend a home u2o game?

if it's at Edge Hall Road in orrell, usually gets a good little crowd on, and tickets teh last time i watched them were free for season ticket holders (but i think that applies for Wigan ST Holders?!) or about £3 otherwise.
there is parking available at the ground but limited so you may want to get there early, especially as a few others may have the same idea and make a full day of it

good luck to both the u20's and the big guys at night. i will be an armchair fan (and proud by the way for anyone who wants to mock)

not my fault i can't afford to attend

The parking in the stadium is sometimes reserved for players and staff only.

If the parking on the stadium car-park fails there are many streets around

Entry to the under 20s games is free to Wigan season ticket holders and for others last season it was £4 for adults and £2 for kids. I imagine it will be the same cost this year as the pre-season game against Skolars was £4 to get in. I think there is a charge (£2-£3 not sure exactly what the cost is) for parking within the stadium (if that option is still available) but there are nearby streets where you can park for free anyway.

Thanks for the useful replies much apprieciated.

Orrell water park is a three minutes walk from the ground and has a good sized car park. The Robin Hood pub is also close by and does very good food.

What's the best way to get to the ground via public transport from Wigan town centre? Only been a couple of times and always got a lift.

352 bus. There is a bus stop at the top of Edge Hall Rd opposite Orrell train station

Never done it on the bus as mentioned above so not sure what the difference in time/cost would be, but I did Wigan Wallgate to Orrell on the train for a couple of games last year - takes less than ten minutes, two quid return. I'm not sure it runs on a Sunday though, which is obviously no help to you this weekend.

They don't run at all on Sunday's. As previous poster stated Bus 352 to St Helens is the option. Leaves Wigan Bus Station at 12:20pm you'll be there about 20 mins later. Ask the driver for Orrell Train Station.
