The obvious starting point for this is the date. 30 July. In 1502 Christopher Columbus started the remarkable story of Wigan Athletic, when he landed in Honduras. Without the help of Chris, Columbus and Kirkham Wigan would never have won the FA Cup. It was the start of the exodus of talented players to Wigan from Honduras.
It is the first game and home win of the season. 2 – 0.
Preston will be travelling 19 miles
To mark all these anniversaries, using the Elon Musk inspired ‘gateometer’ the number of people will be precisely:
15021
19 – minus distance
15002
2 – plus goals scored
1500415004
Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this HORC. It adds to the fun and most of us like a bit of fun. I was especially pleased to just miss the playoffs.
Thanks again.
Easter weekend, cheap tickets, late kickoff nothing for the cambridge swots to study for a while. It’ll be a bumper crows.

You lot will think I am trying to sway the ref. Someone will post and sway “oh, the irony, GG, you are the one who is always saying that players shouldn’t by allowed to communicate with the ref”, and now here I am having a kind polite chat with the ref.
I want to say a big thanks to Horc (and any others involved GtGC) for doing this bit of fun trivia. I’m sure it takes up quite a bit of time as well as frustration when you get players telling you missed someone, or even someone grovelling for a second chance.
Folks, thanks for all the time you put into this. It adds significantly to my match day experience.
If you didn’t get any ice cream in the Ice Cream Van stand, you don’t deserve any. That’s like going to the pub and not getting any beer. Anyway, with your suggestion of implementing the Barnsley clause, I’m going sit in the ‘Rhino Safety Stand’ in future.
The run in to the end of the season is getting like watching Wigan. Nail biting and ‘on the edge of your seat’; so exciting.
. Leam – bloody rubbish, but keep him.
