Time to celebrate
It doesn’t feel a minute since that day in August when Wigan Athletic took to the pitch again. It had been preceded by a summer where supporters were unsure if the club would ever take to a pitch again. Let alone take to a pitch against promotion favourites Derby County and not only beat them, […]
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 […]
Other Stuff
Blackpool calling
It’s New Year and that can only mean one thing, not a return to work not a set of un-assailable New Year resolutions but for me and over a thousand other people THE soul music event of the year. For the uninitiated let me set some context to this claim. Now in to a fourteenth […]
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 […]

Once they were young lads and lasses, touring the country in following the team they love, dressed up the nines and making sure they were seen and heard. Now, as age, parenthood, mortgages and world weariness catches up with them, […]

Honours even at the DW
For the second time in a week, Wigan secured a two all draw at home against opponents who they should have expected to beat on paper but in reality as Wigan trooped of a sun kissed DW stadium at the end, they could consider on the basis of chances that they were fortunate to have […]
Premier League 2nd Season Syndrome is a Myth!
So the next time some football pundit tells you a club is suffering from “2nd Season Syndrome”, shout back at the TV, “Bollocks”, it is actually a myth, it doesn’t really exist. See we recently got into a discussion on the TNS forum with diab0 from the Royal Rendezvous site about 2nd Season Syndrome, after […]
On the bright side
Always look on the bright side of life, as Eric Idle and Monty Python once sang and frankly that’s a line that a lot of Latics fans need right now. A draw against Oxford wasn’t the worst result on Tuesday, coming off the back of a disappointing draw at Cheltenham probably didn’t help but some […]
