**Written before the news that the Spanish takeover of Wigan Athletic had collapsed. Revel in the relative positivity of seven days ago** How do you even begin to look back on the last twelve months? I’ve tried and failed to start this intro three times now. There is simply no way of dressing it up […]
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 […]
So that’s that then, just 34 days after Wigan Athletic were plunged in to administration and all of our lives were turned upside down – Wigan Athletic were officially relegated from the Championship. Ending a two year stay in the second tier of English football, a relegation that this side indeed this club should not […]
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 […]
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.

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. That was clear again on Saturday as Latics battled manfully against a Barnsley side who knew that failing to win meant near certain relegation. Barnsley’s next three […]
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 […]
Seven matches undefeated, no goals conceded in five games and the only surprise being that it was over three and a half months in between game six and seven on that run. In this new world that we live in Wigan Athletic made it very much like the old world, with an assured and confident […]
So fourteen weeks on from when we should have played Huddersfield it’s coming back – rightly or wrongly Wigan Athletic will return to competitive football. I’ve been clear throughout this that I didn’t think football should return, it feels wrong to consider football in this context when there are still thousands losing their lives each […]
We live in truly unprecedented times, it feels like it’s been a constant curve of sheer madness since 2016 but the last few weeks have really ramped that unprecedented feeling up a notch. How does this relate to Latics I hear you ask? Well sadly if the experts are to be believed (remember them? Seems […]
