To paraphrase Pink Floyd:
“It’s been mad for f***ing years, absolutely years, been over the edge for yonks…”
Perhaps they should revive the ‘I-spy’ books or Ian Allen could publish a ‘Spotting the Latics road sign’handbook?
They ought to care now.
They will care when they are held responsible for a serious injury or, worse still, corporate manslaughter.
An individual isn’t held responsible for corporate manslaughter. A clue is in the word ‘corporate’[/quote]
No. Individuals can be held responsible under the doctrine of identification if the failing can be imputed to what is termed a “controlling mind”. For Latics that is likely to be determined to be the Chief Executive, Stadium Manager or the Safety Officer, whose roles involve day to day management of procedures within the stadium.

Section 18 states that an individual cannot be indicted for aiding, abetting, counselling or procuring the commission of this offence. However an individual may still be prosecuted for common law gross negligence manslaughter.
The Act does not provide police with any power of arrest of individuals.
An organisation guilty of the offence will be liable to an unlimited fine. The Act also provides for courts to impose a publicity order, requiring the organisation to publicise details of its conviction and fine. Courts may also require an organisation to take steps to address the failures behind the death by means of a remedial order.

I can confirm that there is a sign made that reads ‘Home of Wigan Athletic FA Cup Winners 2013’.
I have been reliably informed that similar signs have been installed on entrances to the borough. Perhaps the eagle eyed can confirm this? There isn’t one yet at Landgate island.
Does he have a stick with a horses head handle, the finest that Woolworths could sell? If so, drop him for the Blackpool away match
‘Many years ago The Latics had a midfielder called Ian Gillibrand who is one of our all time greats’?

Wigan Athletic v Chester City 02/10/93 Football League Division 3 (fourth tier)
Wiggin v T’Rovers top tier?
Were Wigan fans patient or did most realise Whelan was going to be patient?
The Roberto way is an acquired taste, that’s for sure.
I’ll be as fascinated to see Everton play that way as I was to see us try it.
I fear he make not get the tenure he did with us, I just can’t see Everton fans being as patient as Wigan fans were with him.[/quote]
I know it’s over 40 years ago but I don’t remember City (Neil Young in particular) peppering our goal with shots. They hit the bar in the first half with a looping shot/header but I don’t remember Reeves making a huge number of saves.
In addition to the header, Geoff Davies had a shot that struck Corrigan’s legs as he dived the wrong way.
