Went to Wigan yesterday and had the car broken into, personal belongings were stolen and a sat nav was taken, was all locked away, nothing was on show, nor were there any Wakey stickers on the car so think we were just the unlucky ones... Has definately put a dampner on ever going there again



Has anyone ever experienced any problems when going over there?

never, think this is a bit unlucky for you, I've parked on the road side and in wigan compound with stickers on and had no damage/theft, did you get a crime no for the insurance ?

Unlucky.

We parked my mates Beemer on what looked like the set of Shameless yesterday; no bother at all. Parked it at Belle Vue at the end of last season and it got keyed all the way down one wing. There's scrotes in every town I guess, with our very own Merrie City having more than its fair share.

Hope your insurance is all in order and that you're able to make a claim, especially for that Rolex watch that was in the glovebox?!

First of all apologies from us Wigan fans. I'm really sorry for what happened.
Where did you park?

I can understand your anxiety about travelling over again and in all honesty I don't blame you, I just hope your insurance pays up. Was it your car that was announced on the PA system at the ground?

you don't need to apologise for the dregs of society but thanks

did you take my golf clubs out

Where did you park?



For future reference park on the Aldi Car Park, about 10 minutes walk from the ground situated behind the Fire Station (opposite Asda), parked there for years and never had a spot of bother. No issue with clamping / pay & display either.

Aldi
Albert Street
Newtown
Wigan
WN5 0TR

We usually park in the big Asda car park or one of the other outlet's car parks. Never had any trouble touch wood.

Only time I've had bother with my car is the night after we sent C*s down (the first time). Woke up to find my near side rear door had been booted in. I'm pretty sure it was a C*s fan as I'd got a few Wakey stickers in the windows.

You must have been very unlucky.

For the decade we've been at the JJB/DW, I don't know anybody who has had their car broken into and it's embarrassing that it has happened to a visiting supporter. Sorry to hear of it. There are places that are safe to park for your next visit, just come onto the Wigan board for advice.

Was it the Ford Puma that was announced over the tannoy?

Never had any issues at Wigan, not with vandalism or idiotic fans.

Always been one of the best and safest away grounds to visit.

I had mine done a few years ago at a Wigan game. Had my tyres slashed at a tri nations game at Huddersfield.

Scrotes everywhere unfortunately.
