You might have spotted that Latics have sold the 500 “going halves” tickets for the Leeds game. I wasn’t quite sure what to make of the news when I first heard it. I know there will be those of you who think that’s a massive away following for Latics. You might even think that all […]
But a slow death is agonising. And that is what it feels like right now for the good ship HMS Wigan Athletic. The whole club is rotten in so many ways and the speed at which the rot has set in has taken us all by surprise. Just over 18 months ago we were winning […]
As you’d expect, NRP is feeling a little bit world weary from all his exertions at the end of last week, but we like to share the weight here at TNS and no more than when we’ve got a new voice to bring you. Here, Mudhutter, friend of the site and regular competition winner Chris […]
Another defeat by a single goal. The Darkside pessimists had suggested that Latics would get badly beaten at Watford. That was not the case, but it is another bad result for Malky Mackay. He has an unenviable record for a new manager of one point gained in four games in charge. Can Mackay turn things […]
Last week’s open letter was addressed to three groups of people. The Club, our Supporters’ Liaison Officers and the supporters’ club. Of the three, I suppose, I least expected a response from the club. Although Jonathan Jackson’s response fell short of what anyone’s who has chosen not to travel to Leeds on Boxing Day would […]
The Football Remembers Christmas Truce 1914 memorial has been unveiled in the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. Designed by competition winner, ten-year-old Spencer Turner from Farne Primary in Newcastle, the memorial was unveiled by HRH The Duke of Cambridge. Until now, there has been no memorial on the 150-acre site dedicated to the Christmas Truce […]
I wanna tell you a story as Max Bygraves used to say. Around eighteen months ago, I started working in Manchester city centre again and fairly quickly became aghast at the number of people living on the street. Not just opportunist chancers squatting on the pavement on Piccadilly with a Starbucks cup plonked in front […]
You will have noticed, or will shortly notice, that Latics players are “going halves” with the first 500 of you that purchase tickets for the Leeds game. This is as a direct result of the actions of the Latics fans that have chosen to speak out and act against the unacceptable pricing of tickets. Whilst […]
NRP’s support for those fans boycotting the Leeds game seems to have struck chords all over the net (and hopefully beyond) you may have also spotted that we’ve set up a Virgin Money Giving page and are asking those chosing not to attend the game (or anyone else for that matter) to think about giving some […]
