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 […]
Never Again!
The release of last week’s financial accounts made for sobering reading for all Wigan Athletic supporters. Never again can this club be allowed to reach the state it did and never again can we allow those that don’t have Wigan Athletic’s best interests at heart to use the club in the way it had been […]

Brut: not just an aftershave
With Saturday’s game against Sheffield Wednesday on the horizon, we’ve been turning our minds to things that would be worth going to Sheffield for, even if you didn’t want to pay £33 to get into a football match.

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 […]
The TNS archive
Hope Springs Eternal or does it ?
With England crashing out of The World Cup a great majority of fans thoughts will now turn to their domestic clubs and here at TNS that would be the 2013 FA Cup winners Wigan Athletic. (I will never tire of typing/reading that fact.) Last Wednesday was fixture release day and it didn’t have it’s usual […]
Mudhutter Issue 47 incoming
With our all new German style efficiency the latest issue of the Mudhutter hits the streets this weekend with 48 pages of carefully thought out prose and pictures from Wigan’s finest selection of helmets. A more pensive, reflective, provocative, expensive, selective, creative, primitive, vegetative pamphlet you could not wish to acquire if you are so […]
Them and us – Albert Humpish (Arsenal and Wigan Athletic)
Tomorrow’s visit to Arsenal gives TNS the chance to look back at the career of Albert Humpish who played for Wigan Athletic, Wigan Borough and the Gunners.

It might sound daft but thought is probably preferable to some of the other options available, especially when you consider who he’s left back at the ranch. […]
