Sorry if it's already been said, but this place is well worth piling into before matches.

Was absolutely buzzing last night, the shop was inundated and that mural on the wall, depicting the many major events from our astonishing history, is eye-popping.

If you like having a drink and a bite to eat before the match, go there. Way better spending our cash on the club we love than on the stadium they wouldn't let us buy into.

Have been in there a couple of times and its great. Can get a bit busy for what is quite a confined space but well worth a visit if only to grab some photos with players who are in there (Thornley, Tommy, Silva & Sutton in last night)

Far too congested.

Need to open the metal gates at the side.

Was superb, great atmosphere. Has to be a great money spinner for the club. It was rammed.

Where did you find food in there?

I went in on Friday, but ended up going to one of the burger vans outside the South Stand.

I thought it was a real missed opportunity, not to have food, when everyone is turning up at teat-time.

Snap!

We went in for food but couldn’t find anything so went to the burger van on the corner.

Kids didn’t want to stay inside as just too congested and couldn’t see anything for them to do.

No food, missus and lads ended up going back to the retail park for a subway. Missing a massive trick, although would need to be served outside as the fanzone is rammed prematch.

Maybe the people I saw eating had taken their own food in.

Apologies for that, it was my first time in there.

But I still think it's a great place for pre and post match drinks. If for no other reason than the money goes directly to Wigan Warriors.

I agree. Its great to think that some cash is going directly to the club. You can't get near the club shop at times.

I love the concept and that we generate more cash but with a bit more thought and utilising more of the facility i.e. outside it could be a lot better.
I didnt get there until late on Friday because I couldn't be arrised to queue for a poor selection of drinks in a room that would be sweltering hot.
My grandson loves it. A great photo opportunity for the youngsters as the players do a great job mixing with the fans.

As I say the concept is brilliant but a bit more imagination and commercial nouse is required.

The weather hasn’t really kicked in this summer so when we hopefully get a good solid run of nice weather, there should be some great nights for the remaining home games and hopefully food trucks on the outdoors bit by the running track and pitch

one of my work colleagues is a Saints ST holder, and he has been slating them for years about not having something outside the ground pre-match on the walk up where there are the grassed areas. He would love the idea of a BBQ / bars to allow fans to congregate outside and enjoy a beer and bit of something to eat

from what i've read, Wigan are onto something with the fan village, and with a bit more thought and planning could be onto a real winner for both home and away fans if they get it right. I suppose the challenge is the lack of green area that they could extend it to on when the weather is good. I've just looked at an aeriel shot of the TW stadium and Robin Park, and other than the inner area of the athletics track and a bit of what appears to be scrub land over near the 5 a-side pitches there is very little else other than to close the car park and have the fans out there

I agree with him in the main especially with the food part however there is a bar right outside the ground which is always busy pre-match and fans have been known to sit down on the grassed areas with their drinks.

However the fact that Madri is now on draught inside the stadium is a game changer. I take full advantage of that when its my brother in laws turn to be the designated driver

Well I for one am not impressed with a choice, in effect, of lager or lager in the stadium bars. The West Stand bar used to offer actual beer, but no longer.

And yes, i realise I should drink at RP to get the money to the club, but that's no good at half-time and/or if you only arrive 5-10 minutes before kick-off.

Presumably they got rid because it didn't sell very well.
