The digital age has struck again, ye olde club North of the border, Queens Park FC the bastion of the amateur game now only produce’s it’s matchday programme online with no printed versions available. The club cites falling sales and hence losing money with not many of the regular 500 […]
Wigan travelled back across the M62 after their third league defeat in as many games leaving any new incoming manager under no illusions as to the magnitude of the task ahead if Wigan are to get into the play off picture.
Less than 24 hours ago the bookmakers had Mike Phelan the odds-on favourite to be the new Wigan Athletic manager. Uwe Rösler is now quoted between 1/6 and 1/8 for the job.
