I don’t think last nights game did show that we would struggle with injuries, unless we get 9 out at the same time. Our first 11 with 4 or 5 decent players on the bench, is all good for me. With just 3 -4 more first team players in the lineup rather than just one first team outfield player would have seen a different game. I’m pretty confident that our best 15-16 players are better than Sunderland’s best 15-16 players.

If what I’m hearing now, that its an EFL instruction and not the club there’s nothing can be done. Now being told all those getting moved have been contacted and ive not been called yet so not sure what’s happening. 🤷‍♂️

Hello Jason,today I got the news from a friend that I will be relocated in the West stand, a move from a seat I have held since the stadium opened, that’s 21 seasons in the same seat.
I renewed on the 7th July at 11am was probably one of the first supporters to renew.
Nothing was said about the move but they took my money.
Now with just over a week to go to the first home game, I’m hearing, not from the club, but a friend, that I won’t have my season ticket seat.
At the moment I have no idea where I will be sat.
When the stadium first opened a gang of us went down together to pick our seats so we would be sat together, now what?
Why was this not put out for consultation to the fans, we could have shown our discontent and may have prevented it.
Are you still the fans liaison officer, as I want to know why this has been allowed to happen.
People who I have spoken to this morning are so deflated by the news and where so looking forward to the new season, new owners, new team etc.

How has this been allowed to happen buddy, I would like you to pass on my disappointment to whoever sanctioned this and ask them to reconsider.
It might sound a petty thing to others, but those affected feel totally let down, some even talking about asking for a refund due to the way its been done.
I will be contacting the club, but please pass on our disappointment at your meetings.
Cheers
John Ronan

I renewed online no problem but my mate couldn’t do it on his phone. I think its something to do with the Java script. I did he’s on my phone, took literally a couple of minutes.

Wyke is a fantastic bit of business. He has a current market value of £2m and we’ve got him for nowt. We have signed him on a 3 year deal so will potentially cost us £1.5m in wages during that period, all the time being an asset for £2m. These lads know what they are doing.

I didnt think you’d have the balls to put your money where your mouth (or keyboard) is. Your suggestion that Power has a better chance of returning to the Championship with Wigan is based on what exactly?

OK so you’ve chickened out of that bet sunshine. I still think we will get to the championship before Sunderland and for the reasons I have said in my original post. They will continue to buy poor players and like they did with Grigg buy players for far more than they are worth. A constant change in management will continue and the hoards of fans will return to the stadium and get on the teams backs when they go 1-0 down to the likes of Rochdale and dare I say it …Wigan Athletic. I bet the players and management are the only ones in the football league who would prefer to play in an empty stadium.
Enough reasons there for you Mutty? and I would say the same if I was standing face to face with you. The club is a total train wreck and not been through Administration or anything approaching what we’ve been through so you explain why that is. I still say we will get out this league before you, so take my offer of the “see who improves more this coming season” then when you’ve paid out on that we will double the bet to £40 on who will reach the championship first. Over to you keyboard warrior and prize numpty.

A big welcome home Max bet you couldn’t wait to get away from that shower of Shyte. Coming to Wigan gives you another chance of playing in the championship again, cos that MASSIVE club you’ve festered at for the past 3 years will never get out of L1. Big time charlies who think they should be top of the premier league. You always were a good honest hard working player and wasn’t surprised that you’ve been one of the best Sunderland players for the 3 seasons you’ve been there. No doubt their childish fans will have a go at you now you’ve left. Just hope it won’t take long to iron out 3 years of poor management, poor coaching, having the mentality that your a massive club and have won games before you kick off etc. We gave Sunderland a good bashing last season with a team of kids and has beens, so don’t worry, with the quality players we are bringing in and already have, your on a winner buddy. You know that us Latics fans appreciate players giving 100% every game and will applaud you for that win or lose.

Welcome home to a proper club, the fact that you was released demonstrates that Sunderland havent a fookin clue and no doubt they will give the poisoned chalice to another 2-3 managers this season when once again they under achieve. Keeps us all amused I suppose. 😂
