Night and Day
Night and Day, no not the infamous Oldham Street Manchester venue but the difference between the Wigan Athletic performance against Stockport and Sheffield Wednesday. There was much trepidation heading over the Pennines after the previous Saturday but all of that was dispelled by arguably the best performance of the season. Latics arrived at Hillsborough rock […]
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 […]

Dancing with Ghosts…
As you wake up with the fear from your work’s do and head towards the chaos of Mad Friday, Tony Topping reminds us that, sometimes, you do want to remember those Christmas nights out. Dancing With The Ghosts Of Wigan Casino, 1973 The cold December wind cut through the hole in the window and its […]
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 […]
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 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. Now, as age, parenthood, mortgages and world weariness catches up with them, […]

Fortune favours the brave as Wigan secure a point at Wolves.
Wigan travelled to Molyneux seeking their first away win of what had so far been a disappointing start to the season. Wigan manager Uwe Rosler opted to continue his policy of rotating his squad bringing in Fortune and Maloney for Delort and McManaman with Barnett coming in for injured skipper Boyce. Wigan following on from […]
Grinding out results
It’s looking better isn’t it? Latics travelled to Huddersfield on Saturday happy to be in to the hat for the FA Cup third round but not exactly buoyed by the performance against Barrow last time out. A conservative line-up in the Pennines saw Christian Saydee as Latics only recognised striker but you wouldn’t have known […]
No fracture for Moses
Wigan Athletic officials have today confirmed that Nigeria international Victor Moses, the victim of a cynical high tackle from Liverpool’s Martin Skrtle on Saturday has not suffered any facial fracture. It is still too early to know for sure whether or not he will feature for the crucial game against Stoke City and the DW Stadium on […]
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 […]
