Thing about the championship is when we will find out who the true fans are :D
whys that then, were we getting 5000 in the third division, they were the true fans, but your post is a pile of shite, its like sayin if man u go down they will see who there true fans are, newton heath never got 70000 on, we have built a fan base but martinez will destroy that

there were more than 5-6000 who jump on the band wagon, you prob didnt see springfield park tosser
and if we go down? back to real fans, real away days, not this premier league pay £40 rubbish.
back martinez, not sack him
how can you back him he did nothing in the championship, and he as brought in jones and barrow to help him, i remember when barrow got the sack cos of a thumping by mansfield, useless he should stick to plumbing,
I saw Springfield park. Our crowds were awful. Think we averaged about 3,500 in our 1996 3rd div Championship season……then had 6,000+ on the day we clinched it. Thing is, even in the days of 2,000 crowds, it was a lot more ‘partisan’ than now, with 20,000 on. Definitely.
Reading promotion game at JJB, we had 19,000 on, yet we had averaged about 12,500 all season before hand. I always remember the party with the players in Walkabout, after we bumped into Matt McCann and he said “Hey lads, the players are heading to Walkabout. Are you coming?”. Early on, it was great. Then all the nobs in town jumped on the bandwagon. A man and woman, fully decked out in all Latics gear…..they COULD have been ‘Mr and Mr’s Wigan Athletic’, faces painted, the lot came in. I heard the Woman say to her husband “Which ones Jason Roberts? Which ones Alan Mahon?” With that, I went home. Says it all.
Every game, I do wonder about the people around me ‘Will they still be here if we go down?’
BARROW- Slammed in a book by the bloke who now pays him wages. You couldn’t make it up.
