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. The (internet) fan base reverted to type on Monday evening as we were DUN WI Maloney and Danson would be seeing THI […]

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.

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 […]

Chris pointed us in the direction of one of Sheffield’s less expected landmarks and this article that […]

Fight for our football club
Over the last few weeks, and certainly the last few days my faith has been shook. The seismic events that have been a slow burn since last autumn are seemingly coming to a head. What we know is that Phoenix 21 are on their way out. Already gone are Mal Brannigan, Oliver Gottman and Tom […]
Just a few tickets left for the Latics Legends game

The squad includes many of the previously confirmed Latics legends plus quite a […]

Them and us – Jack Roberts (Wigan Athletic and Liverpool)
Today we go back into the mists of time to introduce a player who had a bit part to play for Wednesday evenings visitors but who was a major influence in the success of Wigan Athletic as a fledgling non league team way back in 1934/35. Jack ‘Nipper’ Roberts was born in Blundellsands, Liverpool on […]
