I think Victoria is closest (according to a mate of mine) then jump in a taxi.
If anybody knows any coaches, etc please let me know asap. Thanks.
I was hoping a coach/mini bus but if not, train is best bet as you say.
Anyone know the best station to go to from Wigan? Closest to ground?
Tickets are available until noon today from DW ticket office + you can buy tickets on the night from eastlands so we haven’t sold out whatever we have been given.
I’ll be at City tomorrow with my flag making it’s 1st appearence this season.
Looking forward to seeing some of the new and old flags down at the next home game.
I remember the Cross Keys flag, the used to have a St George’s flag but then upgraded to a bigger flag which was Blue, think it was still a St George’s cross but in Wigan colours. Haven’t seen it since our Championship days.
As for the Golbourne flag, I remember it well, appears on the 10 of the Best DVD at the bottom of the South Stand. My advice to anyone who owns a flag is take it, I am going to start taking mine again and think everybody who owns one should get their worth out of it. Trust me original golbourne, you can’t blame your flag for our performances in those games and nobody will pinch it if you leave it at the bottom of the Family Stand, I always left mine where I couldn’t see it, especially away from home.
The Spain flag is a great idea, Roberto will appreciate it and being the great guy he is has actually expressed his delight at you taking the flag.
I am thinking of getting a new flag from Barmy Flags, it will be the horizontal split (Blue and White) with either WAFC or WE COME FROM WIGAN at the top and WE LIVE IN MUDHUTS at the bottom. My current flag is 10ft x 5 or 6ft and is the perfect size.
Who here or any know who owns the flags (2 or 3) that are lined up in ES1 (empty section)? They are at every/most home game/s.
P.S. JAY, GET YOUR FLAG BACK DOWN AT THE DW!
No problem pal, if you are going to use it more often than me then i’ll gladly sell it to you.
I don’t go to as many home games as I used to, not as enjoyable, we are constantly ripped off at most grounds and we tend to lose more than we win (fine example at the reebok last week, over 2,000 fans, worst performance i’ve seen for a while).
I do most local games and will be at City next week but if you go to most/all away games and you’ll be taking it every game you will get more use out of it than I will.
I have thought about selling it but never thought anybody would be interested to be honest as I designed it myself and paid quite a bit for it (around £150).
I have considered getting a new one but not whilst i’ve still got this one.
I take it you mean the 2-1 loss at Hull and by the ‘dingles’ I take it you mean Bolton? As I refer to Burnley as the dingles.
We have been inconsistent but we have shown good signs, even in games we have lost or drawn.
I agree with parts of what you say Hindley but I live in the real world and I know that out of the 6 players mentioned in this thread 3, 4 or maybe 5 of them will leave in the summer. I am not opening the door for all our best players to leave, I would love to see all our better players stay at the club but 4 of our better players over the last few seasons are now at other clubs (Palacios, Cattermole, Heskey and Valencia). I know what you’re saying is true regarding how much we invest in new players but that’s life and the fact remains (as a fan) if you have a player who doesn’t want to play for your club then you show him the door. What would the likes of you and I give to play for Wigan Athletic? I feel Whelan has waited for who he believes is the right man to take our club forward. He has openly admitted he believes Roberto is that man so hopefully Whelan will give him the cash he needs to sign the right players. You must remember Whelan wants us in Europe and he must know that involves spending. At the begining of the season Europe was a 3 year plan for Bob and Dave, keep the faith!
What you say makes no sense at all. If I was a manager tracking a player from a different club and his performances were poor and he wasn’t trying/playing well I would soon end my interest in him as it would surely mean he isn’t good enough, right?
So, if other clubs keeping tabs on our players means they will just give up playing for us and not put in a shift then i’m sorry but they’ll end up missing out on the move they wanted because what manager (in the right mind) would sign a player who isn’t playing well?
N’Zogbia has been our best player for most of the season but has looked quite poor in our last 2 games (Bolton and Villa) and is now ‘injured’. If he doesn’t want to be here then sell him, simple.
McCarthy is still a kid, he’s shown his potential and Roberto has worked wonders with him, slowly introducing him into the team. We have to try out best to keep this lad.
Hugo isn’t worth what Villa are rumoured to be paying so that’s good business.
Figueroa has just signed a new contract so, looks like he’ll be staying but if not, I don’t rate him all that highly anyway so it wouldn’t be a major loss in my opinion.
Kirkland, for me is crap! If we get £5m from Sunderland for him i’ll drive him and help him move house!
Scharner is out of contract in the summer, if he chooses to go fair play, he’s done well here and has seen his contract out and I for one would wish him well but hope he stays, good squad player.
We paid what, between 4 and 4.5 million for him and he has shown in spells that he is worth what we paid although recently, with his lack of goals, effort and his 2 penalty misses I would say not.
If (and it’s a big IF) Villa pay £15m for him in the summer I would accept without a thought for many reasons. Football is a business and that would be £11m profit, it would be £15m to spend on new players and wages + he isn’t irreplacable, far from it to be honest.
