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 […]

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 […]

Hugo’s a record breaker!
Lost amidst the euphoria of a stunning performance over Ian Holloway’s Blackpool on Saturday was the fact that Wigan Athletic goal scorer Hugo Rodallega created a unique piece of Latics history for himself. The third minute strike was the Colombian hit man’s 21st goal in club colours, this means that he now enters the Wigan […]
Blackpool Preview
The word “massive” has become an integral part of the modern day footballers’ vocabulary. In everyday English it roughly translates to “important”, but it can also signify “crucial”. Ex-Blackpool player Stephen Crainey used it this week when he described Saturday’s clash with his old club as “a massive game for both sides”. In reality the […]
Wigan Athletic Transfer Window Wish List
The transfer window is nearly upon us and thoughts turn to how and where we need to strengthen the team.
Off to Pride Park again while Harry laps up the top flight.
“The FA Cup winners, The Capital One Cup winners and The Championship play off winners had to beat Wigan Athletic en route to victory !” seems to be all over “social media” (I hate that term, old codger I know) but it does just about sum up our season. Not quite good enough when […]
