      The good old Football Pink eh ?
      An old favourite on the way home from games in the 70s and 80s mainly but part of football culture now.
      I used to moan to my lad crossing the bridge after games especially on freezing cold rainy days or nights that I was packing it in for the next season especially after another defeat.
      What I wouldn’t now give to be navigating the dodgy bridge with the usual inevitable thick biker mistiming his journey and all the gobby away fans looking for a rumble !
      Or the night we waded through that freezing cold flood water under the railway bridge after Blunderland robbed us in January 2012.
      Have to say I have missed the games but more so the camaraderie you would see at games especially between long standing friends and family.
      The (many) messy boozy nights after big victories live long in the memory now and we just have to tough it out until next September I now think.
      Have to keep the faith and remember why we first started going , for me it was Port Vale at home on good Friday 1979 and the famous 5-3 comeback .
      We will be back and we won’t half appreciate it.

        Good morning folks ….. Oh, I so identify with the sentiments on these postings.

        Yet again I’ve surprised myself. I’m like so many of you, and have struggled to muster the energy to generate enthusiasm on match day …. and then I read that the last few of our old team, guys with a bit of age and experience are all probably on their way, and half the short term lonees are going back. I find it hard. I feel a nano gram of guilt for feeling like this.

        I like coming on here to see how my virtual friends are, and realising I’m not alone. That is reassuring.

        Anyway, I was only a ‘tic fan for about 8 years, and I have met some of the lovliest, most fun people that have added to some of my best moments in the UK. You can all have some credit for that. To you all thanks, but added to that I sincerely hope you all have as good a 2021 as possible in these torrid times, that you and your families all remain healthy and you keep safe.

          Hello gang I’m still around and well thanks, just been in my plastic bubble like a lot of other fans.
          What happened to us in the past 7-8 months totally deflated me and many of my mates. I got to a point whereby it wouldn’t have bothered me if I never saw another football match again.
          I looked at the team being put out every week and to me it wasn’t Wigan Athletic it was an Administration 11.
          I know I’ve experienced worse times than this as a tics fan but this has felt so much different.
          I’ve watched every game, but also not enjoyed any, even the few we’ve won.
          With the new owners being just round the corner, I hope when they are appointed it gives us the lift we all need.
          Have a great tier 3 christmas and a happy, prosperous and healthy new year everyone. :good:

          Glad to hear from you, i’m in the high risk-cat,like you this Choi/Admin scenario,
          knocked a lot of Latics friends of mine six, we have supported Latics over 30 years,
          through thick and thin and because we said we had lost interest in this Admin 11 team
          we was accused of NOT being proper Latics fans, so 30 years plus doesn’t make you a
          loyal Latics fan.

          Keep Safe and well, have a good Christmas and a Admin Free New Year!
