Positivity rising
It’s amazing how quickly the positivity levels can return. A hard earned point, that really should have been all three in London was followed up by one of the performances of the season, and a win to upset the form book at play-off chasing Lincoln. After a handful of poor performances following the international break […]
Context gentlemen, please
Ahhh Wigan. I foolishly thought last months financial results may have provided some much needed context to a club still reeling from two financial disasters in as many years, clearly I was wrong. The (internet) fan base reverted to type on Monday evening as we were DUN WI Maloney and Danson would be seeing THI […]

Dancing with Ghosts…
As you wake up with the fear from your work’s do and head towards the chaos of Mad Friday, Tony Topping reminds us that, sometimes, you do want to remember those Christmas nights out. Dancing With The Ghosts Of Wigan Casino, 1973 The cold December wind cut through the hole in the window and its […]
Wigan Pies for Wigan People
Here at the Pie At Night we believe in attending a football match (or indeed rugby) involves more than just watching the game. A pie, a pint, a chat with your mates are all part of the matchday experience. We have had numerous conversations about the standard of match day catering at the DW Stadium […]

It’s The End Of The World As We Know It
TALKSPORT SPEAK SENSE SHOCKER I had a tip off last night that Collymore was talking sense on Talksport, this to me was kind of like a Halley’s comet sighting, so I tuned in and indeed he was talking sense.
Keep the faith – a Stoke preview
We can do this, all we got to do is believe. These are the words etched upon the minds of many, the many who believe and who are we to disagree. There is nothing a healthy dose of positivity can’t fix, but I’m sure for many Sunday can’t come soon enough and no matter what […]
