Started watching Latics from mid 60s though not on a regular basis, in 70 really got into us as a proper fan, it was the Gordon Milne team what did it, that team was something special couldn’t wait for each match, don’t think we missed a game, home and away for 3 seasons, then kids came along and had to chose between feeding us as a family or going games. Never had a season ticket till we went to JJB, have had one every season since. If that makes me a “lifelong fan” then so be it.
Jason, I know the intent is to let Graham Barrow see out this season and then appoint a new Manager for next depending on what div we are going to be in. But taking it as our fate is already sealed ( a div 1 side ) wouldn’t it be better for the new man to be on board now? he can then see what our problems are and make appropriate plans for the new season.
I don’t know or whether it’s ever been revealed as to how much of a contribution those particular Directors have made, or if they were just brought in as friends of DW. However, it was always going to happen that DW was going to step down sooner rather than later and no doubt he had discussed that decision with the whole board over the current season. I still think we will see some new faces at board level at Latics, just hope whoever that is bring something positive to our club.
I’ve been around since 1968, through thick and thin, TBF more thin than thick, but I’ve stuck at it, which hopefully deems me not a JCLs. I suppose i will be around until I kick the bucket and then will be seen hovering above the DW, are whatever it will be called when the Arabs take over in 20 20.
