It seems everyone else is having their threepennyworth so here’s mine. In essence, the suits attempting to justify this extortion have got it spot on: it’s demand versus supply. Unfortunately, as they are the ones who control the supply, then they can set the price. And these and by and large business people who run […]
Is everyone happy then? Well as we moved up from 5th to 4th last week then you’d assume so. However, the fact that we only drew with “lowly” Crewe and Burton won one of their games in hand midweek seems to have tempered the mood somewhat. Failing to take three points at Crewe wasn’t ideal […]
Just a couple of weeks ago most Wigan Athletic supporters were hoping and praying that the “New Era” duo of Gary Caldwell and David Sharpe would find a way to make Yanic Wildschut a Latics player. The Dutchman had made an impact comparable to that of Amr Zaki in the Steve Bruce era or even […]
“We all agree, Jeff Stelling is a w…” or at least that seems to be the #wafc meltdown consensus. His crime? Making a joke at expense of our club. The joke? That no matter how much we might protest, no number of FA cup wins is worth swapping trips to Old Trafford for trips to […]
A dramatic turnaround at the DW saw Sheffield United secure a share of the points with three goals in the last twenty minutes after they seemed dead and buried following an excellent first hour by Wigan. Wigan made two changes from the last outing with Vuckic and McCann starting in place of Kellett and James.
Three successive away games is a bit of a rarity in League 1. But if it were to happen to a team and they collected 7 points from those encounters, their fans could be expected to be pleased. But there is a nervousness among Wigan Athletic fans, as Gary Caldwell’s team seeks automatic promotion. Latics […]
It is midway through the League 1 season. The “New Era” duo of Gary Caldwell and David Sharpe has breathed new life into a club that was down on its knees. After a prolonged period of gloom and despondency there is light at the end of the tunnel. With 23 games played, Wigan Athletic stand […]
Figures can help provide startling comparisons, causing us to question underlying trends. Recent information and figures from Wigan and Horwich have once more caused questions to be raised. Wigan Athletic lost £3.9m last season. Having to pay agents a total of £1,461,088 was a contributory factor towards the loss, which had come after three consecutive years of […]
After playing 21 games Wigan Athletic lie in 6th place in League 1 with a record of W9 D7 L5. They have the 3rd best defensive record in the division, together with Bradford City, having conceded 20 goals. But there are 9 clubs who have scored more than Wigan’s 29 goals up to this point. […]
I was thinking to myself: last minute, against my old club, this is going to drop for me, I’m going to put them out. It was just one of those things. The ball’s ended up going a couple of yards behind me. It wasn’t meant to be, and we just have to get on with […]
