However, the attitude of a number of our fans was appalling. We took a good following, 1500 maybe, with lots of old face’s there.
It seemed to be a bit of an eye opener for the Premier League only lot
Some lads behind us (when I say lads they were old enough to know better) seemed to be disgusted at the thought that Premier League Wigan could be getting beat 3-0 by “Blackpool…. I don’t even know what league they are in but they are S*ite”
“I’m not coming to this whale watching Wigan again they shouldn’t even be allowed to open the ground when it’s like this”
Never saw Springfield Park then I take it?
We will never, ever be an established Premier League team, we have been punching above our weight for a while now and if some people had bothered to show an interest in the towns football team before 2005 they might have known that getting beat at Blackpool and places like that was part for the course. When we were in the Championship we took great delight in upsetting teams who had the attitude “we should be beating teams like Wigan” its pretty embarrassing if we are going down that road
True. We are still a Championship club, at best. The sooner we get back there and stop dreaming of things that are far beyond our capability and ambition, or rather that of the ‘powers that be’, the better.
It’s like we’re ‘playing’ at being a top flight club. It’s as if Whelan’s playing a game like “We’re in the Premiership….great…..but we’re not going to back that up with decent signings…..and we’ll see how long we can stretch it out for”.
Been bloody lucky so far. Escaped on GOAL DIFFERENCE at Sheff Utd, and other seasons, other clubs were so poor, it made it easier. It’s not going to happen this season.
