They get £8m per season in 2015/16 and 2016/17 no matter which Football League division they're in.

I was charged £5.00 to park my car on car park 4 on Thursday Wigan v Salford. The robbing b@%$$£stards. Season tickeT ,golden gamble ,pie a pint and a programs not enough cash for the club. They are taking the P%$£SSS. Don't even know if my money is going to the Rugby. Does anyone know who's robbing us??????????Who gets the cash? WHY DID THEY NOT HAVE THE COURAGE TO TEST THE OPINION OF THE PAYING FANS. WE HAVE NOT HAD A PAY RISE FOR 7 YEARS AND THE MILLIONAIRS TAKE ANOTHE FIVER OFF US .I WOULD LIKE TO TELL THE PERSON WHO TOOK THIS ONE THING OFF US THAT HE WAS A TIGHT SOD AND ARE TREATING US FANS AS CASH COWS RIP OFF BRITTAIN AND NOW RIP OFF WIGAN

It was nothing at all to do with the club, it was a decision made by the Stadium Management. As I said on a previous thread it's well worth buying a car park season pass along with your season ticket. It costs £39 and covers ALL games.

Park on the surrounding streets in Newtown and walk in.
Back in the 80's / 90's we regularly got crowds upwards of twenty five thousand without the use (or need) of an official car park.

Re: Golden Gamble Ticket, Pie, Pint, Program - All these are optional so whats the harm? To keep costs down I eat before going to a match, but I buy a pint. I have a flutter on the golden gamble but give the programs a miss. Its all choice.

Is there even one other Super League club who offer free parking? I can't think of any. Just park a bit further away for free and walk like I do if it bothers you that much

Daily Mail reader alert.

The free parking was part of the planning application for the stadium,ought have been for a set time

Park on Frog Lane and walk - you'll probably get away from the game quicker than on an official car park!
Ditch the pie and a pint - you shouldnt be drinking and driving anyway.....
Dont buy a programme.
Dont buy a golden gamble ticket.

Just saved you around £15. Over 13 home games, thats £165, which should go a long way towards your 2015 ST.

Well we are 15 years later so "set time" is up I guess.

The underhanded introduction of the £5.00 charge is truly been missed on this thread. The broken promise of the availability of this free parking is been missed by this thread. Once again those who have the power to take something away have won the day. No honour , no empathy with those they exploit and the march of human greed is accepted with just a shrug of the shoulder . I despair

Will somebody think of the children?!

I do think it's fair enough that you have to pay on to a car park so close to the stadium, and as others have mentioned you have to pay to get on every away ground that has a car park. From the club's point of view, however, with the way attendances have been going, the last thing they need is something else that could could put off casual fans.

Just another attempt by a desperate greedy man to raise money the best way he can. Park on Asda and if you receive a ticket ignore it. The parking company would have to take you to civil court, and they very rarely do it. People like Parking Eye profit on the ignorance of the public.
