I know this is going to be about the fourth time you’ve read this, but some things are worth saying more than once (or more than four times in fact). Whether you want to contribute to an excellent cause, show that Latics fans are the disparate bunch of bickering bods, that everyone thinks we are, or just have a jolly good time, let me point you to Latics United and the attempt to raise money for a fellow Latics fan to get the help he needs.
Latics United plan to run a series of fund raising events over the coming months, the first of which is the ‘First Avenue’ Soul Night on the 22nd October brought to you in conjunction with the Orrell Soul Club. It’s sure to be a top night with good music and a chance to meet fellow fans and put a few faces to usernames. Even if you can’t make it then you can still make a donation via Paypal at the website which is situated at www.laticsunited.co.uk.
For more details of the event click on the flyer below.
Anthony Ramsdale who was involved in a near fatal motor accident in 2007. He was in a coma for quite a while, received permanent brain damage and is now situated in a specialist centre in North Wales where he can receive the 24 hour care he needs. Anthony’s rehabilitation is now being hindered due to the family being told that they must find up to £4,000 for a specially designed armchair. As a community, all of the major Wigan Athletic groups are coming together to help to raise the money to pay for the new chair.
Anthony is the son of Bernard Ramsdale, editor of the excellent Ye Olde Tree and Crown, virtual bar and repository for all things Latics related, but the cause is supported by all the major Latics websites, the club and we hope all Latics fans everywhere.
