Yep, you’re right!
It was engineered to cause a bit of fuss and indeed was a wind-up (for you lot at least)
But i mean every word!
Positives of league one
Big shiny ground -we will be able to attract better players
Parachute money-
Salary cap- can think of one person who will love this
Weare much bigger as a club than the one that left this division in 2003
Might win a few games hence more supportersNegatives
Every team will treat playing at our ( too) big shiny ground as a cup final and the home form will be as shit as this season.
Hoof ball
Lower attendances – kids stand looks dead now and the west even sparser- stand closed next season?
Trip to Coldham Athletic

Higher season ticket pricesI will draw the line at higher season ticket prices! You would think that playing in the Prem would be the dearest! I noticed they have gone up twice since we dropped and this season in particular I have classed it as a complete waste of money so far! I ain’t forking out more for a shitter standard of football, if it could get worse than it is now!
I agree with Yosser. I wish DW had never come along and ‘saved’ the club so we could be in a better position now.
In fact, I reckon it’d be us preparing to host Barcelona in the Champs League not Man City AND it’d be an 8500 sell out at old Springy.
Cup Final aside the 4 years under Roberto were 4 seasons of worry and were not enjoyable really.Yes some great moments – Beating the Mancs at last being the best for me.
The first PL season up to Xmas was great but I think we only won one home game after that – Villa. Second season under Jewell was awful. The 3rd season was OK the 4th was great up to us getting 40 points then it turned to shit as the team stopped playing and then Bruce pissed off.
Next season you could argue we are back where we should be given the size of the town and the crowds.
However without Uncle Dave we wouldn’t have had 8 seasons up there and more importantly Wembley and for that alone I’ll always be greatful to him.
At least Wigan are a global name now. I was in New York last December and even the Yanks have heard of Latics and Wigan. :cheer:
Was in a New York bar in 2010 and a yank spouted off about Martinez and his players and what was wrong with latics,surreal really.
he later joined us on a pub crawl and tried to “get laid ” ( felt like I was in the film porkies) with some unfortunate bar worker near Times Square.Was in a New York bar in 2010 and a yank spouted off about Martinez and his players and what was wrong with latics,surreal really.
