      Better than scraping by in the Championship……or worse. :o

      I got the impression from your postings over the last 100 years that you would prefer to be back down the divisions, just like the good old days of 1932 which you obviously remember well. :roll:

      I’d rather show that we’ve made it by actually winning things.

      Most people on here seem happy to settle for mediocrity

        It’s not mediocrity we settle for it’s survival!!!!

        How do you think our club would survive if we got relegated? our income would be cut by millions all our best players would be sold we would have no money for replacements our crowds would drop. I don’t even want to consider us getting relegated although if we stay up a trip to Wembley wouldn’t go a miss.

          Get past Nott’s County (Should do now, with respect) and manage to beat a Fulham team with injuries and one eye on the Europa League, and depending we get some luck in the draws, we might have a chance. Obviously Chelsea have to be favourites. It would be a big help if they got knocked out.
          A dream for me would be for us to get through to the quarter finals and draw Leeds (if they get through) at the DW Stadium. Beat them, and get revenge for 1987.

          It’s going to be a strange cup final this year, I think. Possibly even two Championship sides. Hope not really, as it will give Sky a load of “Is the cup still important?” ammunition. Yes, more important than the “let’s finish fourth and qualify league” (Champions (guffaw) league)

          Be realistic. We could get relegated at any time – this year, next year whenever. Whelan isn’t going to invest any more to take us further up the table. If your only aspiration is to survive, it soon gets boring. Our crowds look to have peaked and most people in Wigan who want to go are now in the habit, with a lot of kids going – I reckon a lot would stay even if we went down. If we won the FA Cup, thats our place in history. No-ones going to remember a team that finished lower mid table in the Prem for a few years before being relegated. Yes, we’d lose a few players and a few part time fans, but we’ve not exactly overextended ourselves in the last couple of years. Apart from seeing us get stuffed by the better teams, fans don’t gain much by being in the Prem – the teams we can beat are not much better than Championship standard anyway.

          Relegation used to be part and parcel of following a team, not the be all and end all. Premiership – don’t believe the hype.

            What a rubbish and pointless post

            Thats official then. I’ll not waste space anymore asking pointless questions about why most Latics fans would seem to prefer scraping by in the Prem than winning the main cup.

            I’ve supported Latics for 32 years. I’ll still be there if we get relegated….[/quote]
            I think everyone will be off to watch St.Helens or Wigan Warriors if were relegated. I would attend the games, but it wouldn’t feel right to be playing a team like Cardiff again.
