Hi all,
I echo the above comments. I’ve lived over here in Oz for the last 11 years and probably because I’m nearing 50, probably because I can see retirement on the horizon and probably because I’m feeling a bit homesick at the moment but I genuinely miss the friendship, camaraderie and the feeling of togetherness (even when we fall out) that our club provides. I’ve been the same, I’ve watched the videos and I’ve felt myself filling up, heck, I’ve done even more, I’ve had wet eyes !!!
We all support something special in Wigan Athletic, it’s more than a football club, it’s a living, breathing, existing family and in the true tradition of families we are dysfunctional, odd and often fighting among ourselves. But we are still a family and I like to think that I’m still a member of that family even though I’m 12000 miles away.
I hope the new owners understand us because we are unique, we are family.
All the best lads and lasses,
Ian.
