“Yes I support Wigan and always will but I’m not sure I can take another winter sat there freezing my sack off without something to take my mind off the cold.”

I rely heavily on Uncle Joe’s Mint Balls

I think people packed in shouting ‘shoot’ when one went for a throw in.

People have a choice whether to buy or not, it’s not mandatory.

There was a football game on the Saturday and Whelan refused permission for the rugby to play their home play-off on the Friday night. It happened again in 2017 when a home game with Widnes was switched at 2 hours notice after they were told the pitch wasn’t fit to host two games in two days (Latics were playing Forest on Saturday).

Yes, Latics were in the Premier League then and the rugby were refused permission to play their home play-off on the Friday night and rightly so. The time to prepare for the football match was too short. Other dates were offered but Sky wanted it on the Friday night, so it wasn’t all down to Dave Whelan.

Did you go to a football game when they were under the previous same ownership?

Dave Whelan is 86 and not in the best of health. He also didn’t wany his family carrying the burden of running a football club. He’s done more than enough.

I’ve decided not to renew the first time since the mid 80’s.

Oh dear, what a shame, never mind.

Perhaps When Saturday Comes need to edit this posting:
