Keeping the faith
It’s been a bruising couple of weeks for John Sheridan’s Wigan Athletic. Let’s take a look at Saturday’s trip to Charlton shall we? The scene of where things fell apart last season (well if we ignore Stanley Choi, Au Yeung and the EFL that is) comparing the performance at Charlton with that of Crewe is […]
Endless limbo
Another week passes by, another week full of conjecture and misinformation surrounding the future of Wigan Athletic. Late on Friday evening confirmation that we could indeed begin the season was announced by the club after the football league had granted the administrators request. Thanks Rick we’re truly humbled that you’re letting us play again {roll […]

Blackpool calling
It’s New Year and that can only mean one thing, not a return to work not a set of un-assailable New Year resolutions but for me and over a thousand other people THE soul music event of the year. For the uninitiated let me set some context to this claim. Now in to a fourteenth […]

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 […]

Scarf winner
You may recall that we started a competition a few weeks back to win a lovely Savile Rogue scarf in Latics colours through our prediction league. We’ve got three things to announce. Firstly, congratulations to Martin Jolley who rose from a mass of mediocre predictions to finish top of the mini-league we ran to decide who […]
Bums on seats
The Battle of the Backsides will see the pair frantically race to be the first to sit on half the seats in the iconic Wembley Stadium – a brutal 45,000 seats each! They have just five days to do it and it’s the first time a challenge like this has ever been attempted in the UK. […]
Spurs summary . . . a view from abroad
A thrilling encounter at the DW Stadium ended two goals apiece as Tottenham and Wigan put a dent in each other’s contrasting ambitions. Spurs, chasing a Champions League spot after being cruelly denied one last season, started strongly but found themselves 2-1 down for the bulk of the second half. Wigan’s committed and organized […]
