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 […]

This is a call to arms. There’s no other way to dress it up. I’ve decided enough is enough and I’m calling on all Latics fans to stand up and be counted. I might end up being the lone crank, but it would be great if I wasn’t. It would be even better if every […]

They say that you have to experience the lows in life to truly appreciate its highs. It is certainly a low time for Wigan Athletic. They stand second from bottom of the Championship after 19 matches, having won only three. Moreover the positions of both the new manager and the chairman are precarious, pending the […]
The huge media events over recent days have in many ways overshadowed what fans would normally be looking at when a new manager is appointed. Our intention is to take a look at Malky Mackay as a football manager – how did he take Cardiff City into the Premier League, how was he regarded by […]

He is hard working, good in the air, a real team player. His club prided itself on playing a more typically English style than is the norm in Spain. He played the lone centre forward role there. […]
