Don’t call it a comeback

In which, after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus, Jimmy, Alan and Chris carry on like nothing has ever happened in the hope that no one will notice.  If they even listen at all, that is. There’s been plenty of water under the bridge since the last time we took to the airwaves and Jimmy bravely starts by […]

Looking up

It’s been a strange old week. It started full of optimism after a very strong performance against Barnsley in the EFL Cup the previous Saturday that should have never ended in defeat. Being bridged in the middle with an awful first half performance against Cambridge but a fightback of sorts. Before a win in the […]

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 […]

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.

VAT in Barcelona

      Last Wednesday evening, I was privileged enough to be at the Camp Nou stadium to witness first hand, the most unbelievable performance from a team that I have ever seen. No doubt quite a few of you will have watched it on tv, but from my vantage point, high up in that […]

Last gasp Grigg goal spares Wigan’s blushes

A scrambled injury time goal from substitute Grigg secured a point for Wigan to maintain their unbeaten home start to the season but it was a close run thing after they had conceded two goals after taking the lead early in the second half. Wigan made two changes to the team that drew at Oldham […]

The season so far… so good

Despite the discontent that never seems too far away from the minds of some Latics fans, and you’re lying if you say you can’t tell that some people are just waiting for the first slip up to pounce on Jewell or the players, now is a good time to be a blue. I’m still not […]
