The Wall of Hope!
Firstly, I appreciate that a lot of Wigan Athletic supporters have already given incredibly generously to the main fund. This is just an attempt to put another fund raising angle on it. And a reminder that if you are forutunate enough to be working right now, then it may well be payday soon! We want […]

A very Soulful Christmas
In a Soulful Christmas Mood The Christmas song has been given a bad press in recent years, no doubt partly influenced by Simon Cowell and his legacy of X-Factor one week wonders that hijacked the Christmas number one for over a decade.

Public transport is virtually non existent and I’ve already spoke about the trouble involved in getting around […]

It’s been a busy and controversial week at Latics towers, but time is at a premium so all that will have to be put on the shelf for the moment whilst we concentrate on the football. That’s what we’re here for (meaning that we’re a Latics fan site not that I’ve discovered the meaning of […]
