What a truly horrific month July has been, in a year that keeps on kicking you long after the referee has rung the bell at the side of the ring. To be honest Wednesday night against Fulham followed much the same path as I had expected, but where I thought we would probably get the […]
Firstly, I appreciate that a lot of Wigan Athletic supporters have already given incredibly generously to the main fund. This is just an attempt to put another fund raising angle on it. And a reminder that if you are forutunate enough to be working right now, then it may well be payday soon! We want […]
Note that I say “should” not “will” because I have little faith in the system to over-turn the establishment. Nor do I want to get false hopes up. But just for once, EFL, the FA, the footballing world, please, I am implore you to look under the bonnet on this one, for this is a […]
How’s everyone’s nerves? Shot? Yeah mine too. In the nearly three weeks since we entered administration I think I’ve encountered every emotion possible and following Saturday’s last minute equaliser for Charlton I felt as deflated as I have throughout this. As the clock ticked to 90+2 we were four minutes away from picking up an […]
I haven’t been the most productive on the Latics front recently. To be honest, there is a perfect storm of other stuff going on in my life right now, which in some ways could be a distraction, but I suspect, like most people, my head is all over the place and getting anything done well, […]
I said on Friday night that whatever happens over the next few weeks Paul Cook and his players had already done the club and indeed the town proud.

As you’ve probably picked up, Wigan Athletic are in a bit of mither at the minute. Amongst all the financial shenanigans and international mystery, fans are trying to raise enough money to get our club to the end of the season. Here at the Pie at Night, we’ve revisited our classic ‘Ticspotting design and given […]
How are we all? Sleeping? No me neither, in a year that currently manages to get worse with every passing week the last seven days in the life of Wigan Athletic represent some of the darkest days I think I’ve experienced and I say this as simply a supporter – spare a thought for those […]
Given that Wei Au Yeung’s stewardship over Wigan Athletic presided over just three games you could forgive him for not having attended any of the club’s games. With the current travel restrictions, you might forgive him for never actually setting foot in Wigan. You could, you might, but if you consider what’s happened over the […]
We’re always happy to publish new voices here at the Pie at Night, and that’s even more important in our current situation. Here @PeteReece gives his views on where we are now, but advises us to keep an eye on what comes next? Disgraceful. Scandalous. Corrupt. Incompetent. These are the more printable adjectives being used […]
