Wigan side of Ince. 25 min walk to the centre, but the DW would be a bus or cycle.

If your near the canal it's a straight walk along the canal pathway to the stadium.moto748 wrote:Wigan side of Ince. 25 min walk to the centre, but the DW would be a bus or cycle.

Yes, it is, but it's a couple of miles. Might be doable on a nice summers day. Could you cycle along the towpath?

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: Supposing someone was thinking of moving to Wigan....
Thanks Josie. I'm sure you can imagine how much I'm looking forward to it!
Are there any cycle racks at the DW? I normally only go to the 'nearest corner' of the stadium, closest to the Asda side, and have hardly ever been all the way round. Also, is there any dedicated motorbike parking? When going to Langtree Park the last couple of seasons I've noticed there's a place right in front of the station where motorbikes congregate, but haven't seen the equivalent at the DW.
Thanks.

I've never noticed any cycle racks or dedicated motor bike parking! Maybe some one else could help you with the cycle racks?moto748 wrote:Thanks Josie. I'm sure you can imagine how much I'm looking forward to it!

I have seen motor bikes parked on the car parks but there is a charge for those

Re: Supposing someone was thinking of moving to Wigan....
Thanks, Josie. I imagine I'll stick to foot-power most of the time for home games anyway. I'm intending to sort out a season ticket in the next few days, so I guess I could enquire about it then.
Re: Supposing someone was thinking of moving to Wigan....
I am not sure if they still do it but a 'barge' used to run along the canal as a form of public transport on match days.
Walking wise the tow path is usually decent enough for walking or cycling.Cycle provision is like to be near Asda, cinema/other outlets and elsewhere. I am sure there will be plenty. How close to Ince? secure your property well!

To be honest, realistically I'll probably most of the time get the bus to the railway station, stop in at Wigan Central for a pint, and then walk from there. Which is exactly what I've always done.
It's a very quiet little cul-de-sac, and I refuse to get paranoid about burglary etc before I've even moved! Where I live now I have suffered a little from theft, and quite a lot from vandalism. I certainly don't expect Wigan to be any worse in that regard.

You can live in well to do areas & still get your home invaded. It doesn't necessarily mean the 'invaders' are from that area!
