It’s never dull is it?

It’s never dull is it (c)   Understatement of the century that particular Wigan Athletic phrase.   Another twenty four hours, another episode of upheaval, another period of instability.   We should be used to them by now, but each time this happens the more damaging the feeling among the fanbase.   So let’s recap […]

The second coming

So here it is, the worst kept secret in football was revealed on Monday morning as Gary Caldwell returned to Wigan Athletic. If anyone had any doubts about Caldwell’s return they only need to watch his two long form interviews with both the BBC and the official club website. Caldwell was as impressive as one […]

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 […]

Keep on Keeping On

It comes to something when the most disappointing aspect of the opening month of the season was a draw against Wolves Under 21’s in the Pizza Cup and a subsequent penalty shoot out defeat.
