In need of a bounce

Not been a great week has it? Wigan Athletic the only side without a new manager bounce. Following the disappointing defeat to them men, we followed it up with the dullest 90 minutes of football I’ve ever witnessed in the East London sunshine. We marginally improved on another long trip to face Gary Caldwell’s Exeter […]

Back to it

A lot has changed since that Cambridge match back at the start of the month, a new manager through the door and on the face of it a renewed sense of optimism. The international break will have done the squad a world of good, especially as the number travelling away was limited compared to earlier […]

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 […]

Puffers to Pemps

On the fifth anniversary of the demolition of one iconic Wigan landmark, we take in some 2009 memories of the place from Tony Topping…  This summer a legend passed away, loved by some and hated by many. If your thinking Michael Jackson think again dear friend, the legend was Barbara Calderbank. My association with Barbara, […]

Dancing with Ghosts…

As you wake up with the fear from your work’s do and head towards the chaos of Mad Friday, Tony Topping reminds us that, sometimes, you do want to remember those Christmas nights out. Dancing With The Ghosts Of Wigan Casino, 1973 The cold December wind cut through the hole in the window and its […]

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. Now, as age, parenthood, mortgages and world weariness catches up with them, […]

Two Idiots Abroad

The journey of two-West Standers following the England cricket team in India Four o’clock in the morning, four o’clock in the bloody morning! That’s the sort of sacrifice that us bloggers make for you, our adoring public.  Well, sort of.  For me it’s a case of flicking a switch that publishes this article whilst I’m […]

Them and us – Ian McNeill (Latics and Chelsea)

The trip to Chelsea on Saturday 9th April 2011 is an ideal opportunity to review the career of one of Wigan Athletic’s greatest servants, Ian McNeill. Ian, whose full name is actually John McKeand McNeill, was born in Glasgow on 24 February 1932. He will always be remembered as the manager who guided Latics into […]

Pan O’Scouse – A Liverpool Playlist

Not a Patch On Playlist #4 When you think of Liverpool and music are you still stuck with images of chirpy young men with bowl cuts and skinny suits?  Of course you do, because this is the land of the cliché and, well it ruins the rest of what I say if we don’t at […]
