View Of The JJB

The Ground

Having been to the JJB once before I knew what to expect. The ground has loads of space to park for home and away fans. The state of the art stadium is one of the finest grounds in the country. A shame Wigan FC have only 8,000 fans.

From The Outside

Placed in a good location, the JJB has lots of entrances into the stands. A short walk into the ground, easy quick access. I joined the rest of the PNE faithful to enjoy the match.

Outside The ground

Facilities

Plenty of toilets in the away stand. Wigan is known to be the pie eating capital of the country. I wasn't happy when they had sold out of the cheese & onion pie, so i bought a meat & potatoe. In my opinion the pie was crap.

The Stadium

Being an all seater stadium the stands are up-to-date and well made. With reasonable leg room and good views down onto the pitch.

Conclusion

A excellent ground overall, good facilities bar the pie. This wont be my last visit to the JJB Stadium. When PNE play there next season I will be there. Due to Wigan going NOWHERE!
