We’ve had better weeks

Can two defeats in a week be described as a crisis? No of course they can’t. Can two defeats in a week be considered the end of Ryan Lowe’s honeymoon period? With the manner of the defeats, quite possibly. It’s been a long time since I came away from the Reebok, Unibol, Macron, Tough Sh*t […]

Alan Young, a name to strike fear in to anyone interested in watching a decent match in the lower depths of the EFL. You just knew as soon as he was announced it was going to become all about him, and as with Stevenage 24 months previously he had a right good go at becoming […]

Puffers to Pemps

On the fifth anniversary of the demolition of one iconic Wigan landmark, we take in some 2009 memories of the place from Tony Topping…  This summer a legend passed away, loved by some and hated by many. If your thinking Michael Jackson think again dear friend, the legend was Barbara Calderbank. My association with Barbara, […]

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 […]

A pathetic shopping spree

If you move in certain Twitter circles then you’ll have come across The Pathetic Casuals.  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, […]

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 […]

Wigan Athletic vs Fulham – Match Preview

Well it’s been a quiet week for me as I’ve not been able to make it in to the TNS offices this week!  No I’ve not been assigned to the London or New York TNS offices yet, but with it being Half Term, I’ve spent time in a Court in Manchester & a Dungeon in […]

I feel so extrordinary…

The FA Cup, what a beautiful, romantic thing it is, eh?  And as we celebrate our third ever appearance in the quarter finals, it’s as good a time as any to remember that we never did a commemorative shirt for that day in May.

ACN update

This is the first time that I’ve had more than a passing interest in the African Cup of Nations. It’s surely a sign of our progress that one of our ‘stars’ is featuring in the tournament, a sign of our attitude that our manger isn’t taking the usual line of bemoaning his loss. Henri Camara […]

Are we still on the Premier League NewsNow then?

It would appear so. Congratulations to Crystal Palace who won promotion to the Premier League earlier this afternoon. I’m sure not too many of us will mourn the fact we won’t be having to travel to deepest, darkest Croydon next season. Let’s therefore have a quick run down of the teams we will be facing […]
