Roll up, roll up, all aboard the emotional rollercoaster
So another season is upon us, got to say it feels a lifetime since that win over Bristol completed our season. So much has happened in the last three months, but things on the good ship Wigan Athletic seem relatively calm for the first summer in a couple of seasons. The ownership has completed their […]
Time to celebrate
It doesn’t feel a minute since that day in August when Wigan Athletic took to the pitch again. It had been preceded by a summer where supporters were unsure if the club would ever take to a pitch again. Let alone take to a pitch against promotion favourites Derby County and not only beat them, […]
Positivity rising
It’s amazing how quickly the positivity levels can return. A hard earned point, that really should have been all three in London was followed up by one of the performances of the season, and a win to upset the form book at play-off chasing Lincoln. After a handful of poor performances following the international break […]
Context gentlemen, please
Ahhh Wigan. I foolishly thought last months financial results may have provided some much needed context to a club still reeling from two financial disasters in as many years, clearly I was wrong.

In recent weeks, certainly since the turn of the year we’ve made huge strides in that direction with some really important […]
It’s happened again
How do you begin to describe a night like Tuesday I’ve not really got the words, there have been some fantastic high points this season – undoubtedly some low points as well. But they would be expected in a season where we started on minus eight points and are having to re-build the club from […]
Under the lights
Has anybody got any fingernails left after Saturday? Talk about nervy endings to a match. Saturday was a really important result, for one Shrewsbury are close to us in the table and secondly it was a return to winning ways after two disappointing defeats against both Exeter and Oxford. Latics looked in control against Shrewsbury […]
Getting results
You’d be forgiven for not noticing that we were currently unbeaten in the league since Boxing Day. Or that we had gained eight points from the previous twelve on offer, rising to fifth in the form table. Or maybe it’s escaped your attention that we in to the lofty heights of eleventh place. All of […]
