Parked up close to the Retail Shopping area near the Robin Park complex but wasn't quite sure i was in the right place until i noticed the athletics track as there's another sports complex nearby .Wigan Robin Park play their home games at the Robin Park Arena on Loire Drive, adjacent to the DW Stadium . The Robins are sitting pretty at the top of their Division and have already been promoted . The club have reduced admission prices for this fixture as a thank you gesture to all fans .
I've seen WRP against Oldham Boro in one of their rare defeats earlier this season albeit a thrilling cup tie under poor lighting at Oldham RL Club . They have some strong , physical , talented players who've showed great character throughout the season , maintaining high standards .
They're also a tight knit bunch and share light hearted banter with the local fans .

Granstand
Ashton Town have been struggling near the bottom all season but for 43 minutes kept the promoted Robins down to three goals . The killer blow was conceding two more on the stroke of half-time . Robin Park showed clinical finishing with rapid movement off the ball causing most of Town's problems . Town did see a shot come back off the post but created little overall . Half Time WRP 5-0 Ashton Town
WRP add six more goals during the second half to finish the rout 11-0 . Town's high defensive line was easily exposed , could probably have done with a sweeper or ' The Great Wall Of China ' playing behind the two central defenders reducing the threat of WRP getting in behind . Credit The Robins though for being nifty and unforgiving . Town kept going but it was an uphill struggle all afternoon , they're a lot better than this result suggests . Town substituted their most dangerous attacking player who posed a strong physical threat to the Robins defence .
