How ironic, Onmeyeadson said he was bored and asked a sort of flippant question and it turns out to be a great thread !
How ironic, Onmeyeadson said he was bored and asked a sort of flippant question and it turns out to be a great thread !Reason i asked was that Wigan has the most local fans in the Prem, just wondered how many fans we have who aren’t from Wigan. It’s surprised even me! turned into a good read! :)
It’s surprised even me! turned into a good read! :)Certainly has goodpost
Very rare that a topic pops up on here where every single reply (well, near enough ;)) is worth reading!
Nicely done!
another leylander -hence name but ive lived in winstanley since 1995
started watching latics in 1982 with jeff filmoss’s brother and a few others from eccleston when we played city in the league cup
fell in love with springfield park and the rest is history
Born and raised a Tyke (please don’t hate me..!) and moved to Wigan in 1987 aged 12. First game was vs Doncaster Rovers. If I remember correctly a tall gangly teenager by the name of Brian Deane scored the opening goal for Rovers, before goals from Sir Robert of Campbellshire and debutant Andy Ainscough gave us a 2-1 victory. And I’ve been hooked ever since, 26 years ago.
I left Wigan in 1993 for university, therefore missing the worst that Kenny Swain had to offer (Pat Gavin and Neil Morton anyone? :sick: ) and have remained down here ever since, enjoying the inexorable climb through the leagues from afar. I’m proud that I’m able to genuinely claim that I’m no bandwagon jumper and I was there when we were s@&# :cheer:
