…it’s a phrase that I’ve heard a lot over the last few days. With suggestion being that defeat to Bolton, admittedly a damaging and verging on embarrassing defeat, has taken us into some new ground, over some boundary where somehow things are different and it becomes more acceptable to call for the managers head, whatever […]
You don’t always get what you wish for in football, however on Saturday it appeared that we got the exact opposite.
PREMIER SATURDAY: NUMBER TWO On Saturday 29 October 2011 Wigan Robin Park Football Club are playing NWCFL Premier Division side Winsford United in the NWCFL League Challenge Cup second round. The Robins home league fixtures are always scheduled when Wigan Athletic are away for logistical reasons – due to the proximity of the two grounds […]

However, the time has come where the eleven players (plus subs) who wear the shirt on Saturday need to stand up and be counted. We need to perform by either out playing or out fighting our opponents, quite possibly […]
