Not a bad article. Specifically liked the part where he mentioned the play off final and how shops and bakerys had “come on gillingham” in their windows.
Maybe make some people (mainly the media) realise the struggle we have to attract support.
Its on the BBC website now > http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/footbal … 601698.stm
Although they seem to have cut all the action shots from the piece that was on FF.
Good piece, it’s just a pitty he uttered those words ‘rugby town’, as if you take into account Utd/Liverpool etc. supporters, Wigan is, and always will be, a football town.
Then again anyone who lives here knows that.
I doubt we will ever shake off the stigma of being a rugby town. Wherever I go whether it be in this country or abroad,as soon as i say who I support they invariably utter the phrase ” Thats a rugby town aint it ” !!
Interesting that he claims to have been there against Ipswich when Wigan gained promotion to the Premier League. One wonders why he was watching Sunderland at Portman Road that day when his “beloved” Wigan were playing Reading.
Dunno Jeff I didnt watch it ! Airbourne tonight at Apollo gonna be pretty loud 10 double Marshall stacks cranked up to 11 !!
Interesting that he claims to have been there against Ipswich when Wigan gained promotion to the Premier League. One wonders why he was watching Sunderland at Portman Road that day when his “beloved” Wigan were playing Reading.…………….beat Ipswich to second place.
Oh, and weren’t Ipswich playing Brighton?
Ipswich played Sunderland a week or two previous, it was that draw that gave back Latics back the promotion advantage.

Well, thats me and the editor of the Wigan Athletic Vital Football site who both thought that.
I cant post the link, but the editorial says:
“The mists of time though have clouded Stuarts memory slightly as he recalls he was at the JJB when we gained promotion to the Premiership with victory over Ipswich Town, we did beat the Tractor Boys that season at home but I`m sure it was victory over Reading that sealed our fate.”
The Easter Weekend just keeps getting better – a thumping of Spurs today. Wonder what will happen over the next two days to make it a perfect 4?
