And so as we reach the pinnacle of the Wigan sporting civil war as Wigan’s three favourite football teams come head to head in the space of six days. These really are the games I cannot stand above any other and they are the games we, as Wigan Athletic fans dreamt of watching many years […]
This is the article that I wasn’t going to write. I’d picked up my keyboard yesterday to tell the world how much I objected to our ground being used as the backdrop to Liverpool’s show of collective injustice, only to decide that I probably wasn’t good enough to pull off the article that I had […]
