Ross County are now odds on to go down while the Ross & Comarty Table Tennis Club are Favs to with their League, weird
While the subject of Tics fans paying the same as aways fans was brought up I think that all clubs should set away fan prices before the season starts.
Each club can then, say Plymouth charge £30 for Wigan then we should be allowed to charge them up to £30. This is one of the reasons I fooked away games off in the Championship.
I got pished off watching clubs bring 3000-4000 on £20-£25 a ticket while they charge us £30-£40 when we visit them.
As for not paying £60 ?, If me and my lot didn’t have season tickets we couldn’t afford the likes of this week Saturday and Tuesday, pay on the day turns into a dear doProbably the worse transfer window I can remember slash the wage bill and about £2million banked.
Lang should have been stuck on the bench and Grigg unloaded especially with his contract up next summer.
Gilbey gone ?, gotta be a personal thing,Lang will probably get a bag full at Morecambe then we’ll flog him rather than use him
“He’s one of our own” song is the kiss of death for our youngsters, hear that and your offLet’s hope we see abit more of him this time round. He came last time with a long term injury so I just hope that whoever’s done the medical does abit more than cupping his sack and asking him to cough
According to Wigan’s new signing Alex Bruce, it can just be a case of “touch your toes and you’re in.”

I bet he had to sit down and pull his foot to to touch them, another leech on the clubs financesLet’s hope we see abit more of him this time round. He came last time with a long term injury so I just hope that whoever’s done the medical does abit more than cupping his sack and asking him to cough
I keep saying this, if DW have of spent some of the dosh on an top Academy we could be cherry picking right now. bar central London you couldn’t be in a better catchment area for young talented players when released with 4 of the top 8 Prem clubs within pishin distance. Hindsight is a wonderful but in the case of an Academy and Wigan it was an necessity.
I get the point you’re making but to say we would be cherry picking right now for the best youngsters is over egging it somewhat.
Latics would still be feeding off the scraps/rejects from the likes of United, City, Liverpool & Everton.
Academies aren’t the be all & end all of producing good young players which is the reason why many clubs below the top flight have scrapped them coz they cost a lot of money without producing any better results than the traditional youth set ups.
At the time of being in the top flight, Latics had a set budget & to have had an Academy would have cost millions in set up costs & an additional £2mill a season to run. It would also have taken years for results to start to come through. The club could have spent that money but it would have meant spending less on players ready to jump straight into the first team squad which may have meant that our stay in the top flight would not have lasted as long as the 8 seasons that it did. So instead the club made the decision to spend the money on the here & now in order to try & keep us in the top flight & hopefully eventually to be able to set up an Academy.
I can completely understand why they went down the route that they did[/quote]If we had of used the money we threw down the pisser it would have paid for it for about 10-15 years. So we have no money that’s official, so you think we ?, loanees and get guys in who are on the verge of retirement ?
Do you wan’t me to name the waste of money players ? we’ll stop hey at £30 million and not to mention players we made a killing on, you seem to think the club made fook all !! starters for 10 Queens College;-
Jason KoumasNot included in squad at Blackpool with no weekend game to help his match fitness .Does this all add up to bye bye come Thursday ?….
I notice Powell wasn’t in last night’s squad, so he must be off.
Oh – and Dan Burn; he wasn’t there either.
And Sam Morsy. And Gavin Massey. etc etc etc.It may have been more a sign if he WAS in the squad.
And Paul Cook didn’t seem to be there either. What do you read into that?
I read that it was considered a reserve game for youngsters and fringe players to get some game time in a competition we have to enter.[/quote]
Powell Burn Morsey and Massey all played Saturday and all put a shift in, Grigg played for 20 minutes. Now based on players who don’t feature in League fixtures and one’s as high profile as Grigg would normally take part in Cup games just to keep their fitness levels on par with others.
Latics took a precautionary measure in the off chance someone comes back in for him. Looking at Griggs body language and the couple of chances he missed in his 20 minute show it suggest to me he want’s out and I don’t blame him.
If we get around the million plus mark then this means we will have banked around 2.5 million and spent jack sh*t on replacements and that’s not including any cash if Power goes . It wouldn’t shock me in the least if a there’s a last minute approach for either Burn or Jacobs (in his last year) or worse, Powell.
I’m beginning to think Division 1 is our new level and can see us ping ponging between div 1 and the Championship. The Neymar transfer has taken player prices through the roof, not just for us but for every club similar to us and with the likes of Wolves spending for fun and the Prem clubs taking the drop money I cannot how us or similar clubs can ever do as we have done in the past and compete in the Championship.I keep saying this, if DW have of spent some of the dosh on an top Academy we could be cherry picking right now. bar central London you couldn’t be in a better catchment area for young talented players when released with 4 of the top 8 Prem clubs within pishin distance.

Stacks of empty seats and less than 65000 there.
Maybe with us playing at home fans who follow both clubs opted to stay in Wigan and go to the DW.
It certainly didn’t make any difference to our official attendance. With less than 2000 away fans the gate was up from the Bury match who brought around 1200. Yes we had slightly less home fans there today but this is probably down to the pay on the day price which was incidentally more expensive than many Wembley tickets today. INothing to do with the national rail system being on lockdown all weekend is it?
How many coaches do you think there were available in Wigan. To take the mickey out of 60 odd thousand is a bit rich when you had a conference attendance. Turning Blue :silly: :silly: :silly: Ask yourself where the other thousands of fans were today :P ;) Portsmouth brought 3,000 so that leaves 6,000 home fans and you can subtract the guaranteed attendance figures from season ticket holders so how many were really there? 4000? MASSIVE support.[/quote]
3000 Pompey ? Your no related to Mr Maggoo are ya ?.And, when all said and done it was the lowest Thugby final since new Wembley opened, yep blame it on the trains lol.
There was more Thugby fans in the pubs up town than in London. I asked one guy who was singing, “Why you not gone ?”, he replied “I don’t go to games away” wtf kind of answer is that ? A cup final.
Considering its a so called rugby town and Wigan are the biggest club team (Well you’d like to think so) I’d bow your head in shame with support like that.
Rugby League ? I’d sooner watch dog sh!t go white or even better, cherry n whiteHe’s off bags are packed, He’s not been played and with 1 year left can we honestly run the risk he makes a deal in Jan to go on a free in the summer /. Big clubs could afford to but not us.
And lets face it, he’s not gonna get much game time here. Me ? , cash in but make sure you got at least a loan on the radar till the Jan window opensI didn’t realize he only had 12 months left on his contract.. If true then he’s definitely off… Sure cookie will have someone else lined up?[/quote]
And Jacobs is the same 1 year left. Another rumour, Powell is set to leave I just hope this ain’t true. I can fully understand we need to slash the wage bill but to not to the point were your best 2 possibly 3 players leave days before the window closes. If it does materialise then you can kiss promotion goodbye.
We’ll be slowly turning into a club full of freebie and loanee players with no on field assets left,Get your sh!t gether Sharp and put the plug back in
He’s off bags are packed, He’s not been played and with 1 year left can we honestly run the risk he makes a deal in Jan to go on a free in the summer /. Big clubs could afford to but not us.
And lets face it, he’s not gonna get much game time here. Me ? , cash in but make sure you got at least a loan on the radar till the Jan window opensWe have got rid of four strikers in Woolery, Bogle, Mandron and McKay.
I don’t know about Grigg going but I think we should be looking at bringing another striker in to cover for when Newcastle call their man back or as cover for injury.McKay and Woolery were never actually at the club so wouldn’t be missed anyway. I seem to remember us getting rid of Le Fondre, Davies and Whildschut in Jan so clearing the attacking decks and leaving us sparse on the ground ain’t nothing new.
We want to spend some of the money off Bogle , Woolery and Mandron and take a chance on an up and coming player like we’ve done in the past and hopefully sell on at a pretty pennyThe only way we’ll ever know is if Warnock plays him reg and can get him scoring or not. I personally think he should have at least been given till Christmas (with games not the bench) to prove if he can or can’t.
The problem I saw last season was the large signing fee and the sudden leap up to Championship and the huge pressure coming to a club struggling heading down plus lets not forget, the vast majority of the players and the tactics didn’t help he’s cause and they were utter sh^t or we we wouldn’t have fookin gone down !!.I don’t think it was a good move letting him so soon purely on the grounds that he would have been playing in a far easier Division which would have given him time to settle and grow into the team. I suppose tell will tell whether it was a bad move or another shrewd Wildschut move by unloading him while the value in the player is there
He might be on his way to Cardiff, I like the description of the player by the press “blistering pace” wtf ??
