Train is the best idea. Its abit of a walk but not exactly a treck.

If you do decide to drive then there is plenty of parking, get there early enough and park by the Red Robin or park round the back of the ground and there is plenty of parking there.

But getting away can be a pain in the backside if you have to use saddle junction.

if your on your own, get the train, if you want to drive, hide all your saints stuff and park on robin park, but be prepared to take a while to get out

You'll get clamped if you get caught on there.

There's an Aldi here, that is usually ok for parking.

From a Wiganers point of view. if i was travelling back to St. Helens and had to drive i would park along Montrose avenue or even the Montrose pub (WN5 9RL). From there you can get away straight up Montrose ave and either at the top turn to Pemberton/Orrell or turn right and go past Heinz's up to Orrell post/ Billinge /carr mill way. No bottlenecks.
