      Gripe time,
      Ive been watching Latics for over 30 years,my lad who is 12 has been coming with me since he was 3,yet has never been a mascot.He goes to the pre match junior club and enters all the mascot comps yet nowt.His mate at school who has been to four games was a mascot at the Liverpool game!!
      My lad is seriously getting cheesed off now,and has even said he might not want a S/T next season!
      Ive e mailed the `mascot woman` and didnt even get a reply,great customer service that!Someone on `vital` said e mail Ed Jones,so ive done that and will see what happens.

      I just think a kid who has been going for 9 years deserves a go at mascot!

        For one, Gill at the Club is just a liaison between WAFC and Junior Stripes, I don’t think she has any say so on how or who becomes mascot.

        I have a feeling that the press and media officer will have very little to do with Junior Stripes, like most at the Club.

        As with Wiganers in general, why do you automatically run to the club for info or explainations instead of the ones that actually run the said organisation.

        There is a Junior Stripes web site, run by the volunteers that keep the junior sectoin going (yes volunteers, not paid or funded by the club). There is even a link above to the web site which has contact details on it.

        I was a member of Junior Latics for the best part of 12 years and never got to be mascot and that was even in the days when there were probably only 60 memebers not 2,500.

        I know kids don’t understand but you can do the maths, 2,500 kids, 11 kids per game, if every kid got their shot it could be over ten seasons before they were got through.

        PM his name and I’ll see if they are getting the mascot requests at least, that would be a start for you.

        FA Cup Winners 2013, sounds good that

          I had a bird at 12 and enjoyed the occasional bottle of cider. You wouldn’t have caught me holding some blokes hand dressed in a replica Wigan strip ! ;)
