For me, its supposed to be the thing i look forward to at the end of the working week – latics at home on sat, buzzing atmosphere, team full of players who want to play for Wigan and understand our history, have chosen us over other clubs to play for, and good banter with fellow supporters over a pint.

Now a day, i actually dread having to go out on a saturday to watch wigan – i work hard during the week and watch latics as an “escape”, however I end up leaving the ground frustrated and tired, and for the last 3 seasons have attended less and less games due to this.  Even the banter with fellow fans is all negative, as collectively we all share the same thoughts and opinions, so the conversations themselves become frustrating as well

As for the players, none that i see want to actually represent us, they just want a pay day until someone comes in for them and off they go elsewhere or are released, job done.

All in all, without sounding a doom merchant, there is nothing at all that excites me for a long while about being at the Brick on a Saturday, its becoming more of a chore than a hobby and i decide on the day if i will go or not ..

Re food and drink, thats the least of my thoughts when it comes to watching latics.. or not
