thanks for the info, i think i will try and get there before 7 i think, i used to park on the small car parks inbetween the arena and asda but i went to park there at the last match and they said it was reserved for blue badge holders and will be for the foreseeable future.

I always park in the car park on Pennyhurst Street, across the road from Corkills. Only a 5-10 minute walk down the canal from there.

Some users of car park 4 have turned this into something of an art form and should be congratulated for their skills - parking at precisely 23 degrees from the perpindicular to the neigbouring cars, whilst leaving a gap at either side precisely 1.7 inches too small for another car to get in and also blocking any transportation vehicle wider than a bicycle from getting past isn't easy you know.

Bit like this?

Something like that, but 100 times worse - my personal theory is its all the DW stadium stewards deliberately parking up badly to make people use the pay car parks.

Yeah the last couple of games seems like everyone has twigged that its the free carpark and are just parking anywhere to get on. You end up with rows going on angles until they block the exit because no cars can get past. lol

i must admit i usually catch the train in when i can cause i like to have a couple of pints but whenever i have driven and when i've attempted to try and find a space on car park 4 i've struggled to find my way out again due to there being no order on there

<tin hat on>
I find that if you stay till the end of the match, by the time you get back to car park 4 there is plenty of space to get out.

Haven't parked there for a long time I park about 10 mins away at a certain super Market

One of the reasons the car park behind B & Q may be more popular going forward is that there has been quite a few cars vandalised in the area during recent home matches. The street behind the Fire Station had at least 10 cars with wing mirrors hanging off & windows smashed after the Hull game. My car had its wing mirror done and i will now be parking on the free car park behind B & Q.

Agreed, some of the parking on there is utterly insane. Got into a row last game with a woman who had literally blocked an entire row in by just ditching her car. Her response "it was the first gap I saw"

we park at wigan pier, bit further to walk about 10/15 mins depending of pace but always free spaces, easy to get out and most importantly free.

I've parked here a couple of times but how come at one time all the car parks were free and then all of a sudden all but one cost £4. Wouldn't mind if it was a pound or two but £4 for an hour and a half is a bit excessive. Found a new spec now outside the Stadium's ground that I've know about for years but never had the common sense to park there.

I didn't know there was a B&Q in Wigan.
