Cheers.& what a fantastic journey its been as well donny. I made my bow as a latics mon on the day of our very first 4th division game as a 6 year old. I dont remember the game at all. What i do remember is the atmosphere of the crowd around me & me crying to my dad as i was suffering from growing pains in my legs. We stood at the end of the ground where those grey hut things were towards the end of springfield park.
I got loads of stick being the only latics mon at primary school. I went to st marys in standishgate & my school was RIGHT next door to central park. My saving grace was when we merged with st johns & one of the teachers was a latics mon. High school was better in terms of fellow latics fans.
The thing is, is that despite the stick i used to get, i always had a feeling that my little club would go onto big things. I never knew what those big things would be, but i just knew in my heart.
When i look at clubs who have been around a lot longer than what we have & have hardly achieved anything, i feel so proud to support this club. Even during the dark days of the kenny swain (1200 – 1500 crowds) period, I never once turned my back on the club, & in some respects, feel proud that i was indeed one of the 1200 – 1500 who turned up week in week out.
I really could not support a better club IMO. Yes there are clubs bigger than us, have a greater history etc etc. But, for me this club is the best. Finally, (phew!!) special thanks to messers sharpe, caldwell & the players for bringing “our” club back to the fans this season.

Cheers.I still have the book somewhere that was written after the season ended that reported everything that happened in that first momentous season.
Last season made it feel that we started a new chapter in the life of WAFC with the re-birth of ‘our’ club.
We are on our way again, I can’t wait for the new season to start.
There’s a feelgood factor about the club again, feels like we’ve got “our” club back. Got a fan as chairman and no matter what happens, a manager and a group of players who have connected with the fans and will give everything they can. Today’s just a reminder that none of what’s happened in the last 38 years would have been possible without the hard work of Jack Farrimond and the other directors of the club who fought tirelessly to get us in the league.
That we should never forget
Thank You each and every one of you who made the Football League a reality for Wigan Athletic FC
I’ll never forget that day, I was on 6-2 at the owd Bleachworks and went into the Plough in Shevy after work. News started filtering in late afternoon and me being a pessimist didn’t believe it till I saw it on Granada Reports that neet. No other fans have witnessed what we have and this IS and always HAS been and always WILL be the greatest club in the World. I wouldn’t swap my memories with any fan of any other club.
ONE LIFE ONE LOVE ONE WIGAN ATHLETIC
LHL, Horc and Donny, can you remember that horrible song LATICS FOR THE LEAGUE that used to blast out in the mid 70,s?. Jesus it made the ears bleed :lol:

I can’t remember that one, but I have/had a copy of ‘Come on you Latics’ which I think might have been released for our Cup run in year we played Leeds in the quarter final.
We’re the L-A-T–I-C-S Latics for the league.
We’re gonna be there some day.
Don’t think it got quite as well known as the Will Grigg song.And here it it.Brilliant that is, Horc !
Just in Crisis. Been treating the locals, all week, to the Will Trigger song on my I Pad.
Guess what, they’re getting Come on you Latics nextNo I am not pissed at 10:18 am !
