Not a bad start
It’s been some week for Wigan Athletic, another point on the board from a tough away match at Norwich along with the signing of one of League One’s top stars last season – Nathan Broadhead. Looking back at Norwich and apart from the first quarter of the match we were more than worth a point, […]
Patience is a virtue
I think any concerns about whether we could compete at this level were expelled on Saturday evening. A hard fought local derby against those lads from up the M6 showed that we can and will compete at this level. Unfortunately the injuries are piling up now, Jack Whatmough the latest to pick up a knock […]

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 […]

The clock is ticking
Last week I wrote about signs of life, I apologise. I don’t know what came over me, for any signs of life in Wigan Athletic have surely been choked out of us in the last seven days. Let’s tackle on the pitch matters first shall we? That last minute winner from Scott Wootton already feels […]
