He will be loaned out again shortly. If not he can not be any worse than Revell.
Wildschutt will be replaced with another loanee.That’s a bit harsh Donny, thought Revell did OK. I watched every game he played in and he showed 100% commitment and made the defenders work.
Would probably still be here if his family life hadn’t been affected by the daily long treks. GC told us that he tried to sign him in the summer, so the club rated him.From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!I think some of you are posting on the wrong forum.
Football related, so OK here[/quote]
I think you should offer another category called “Samaritans” for those who have difficulty moving on from past events.[/quote]
Does that mean we are not allowed to talk about our FA cup glory a couple of years back? :( ;)[/quote]
We don’t discuss this enough. Instead some prefer to talk about how badly a previous manager who actually won the thing is doing at another club.[/quote]
It’s what you call keeping things topical :cheer:[/quote]
Change the record. It’s worn and played out! :dry:[/quote]
So as yours, the record will continue to play as long I or anyone else, wants to play it. If you don’t want to continue the discussions, butt out, its as easy as that. ;)

Have a look round all the other forums, they discuss all things football not just their own clubs.
By the way, has Bobby got the toffees champions League football yet?
It’s got to be the most open premier League there’s been for many a year and Everton are still meandering round mid table, below their red counterparts.
Of course I’m more interested in how well the tics are doing, but can’t help having a sneaky laugh when Everton lose.His team concede 4 at home yet he chooses to call the ref for the penalty decision in his post match interview. Rip into your defense Bobby, that’s what your fans want and what other managers do. It does no harm now and again showing publicly you are not happy with the players.
I honestly think he never sees the frailties in his team or performance, its all about possession and stubbornness / reluctance to change things, that is what is holding him back from being a top manager.
Finally, I still think that ref yesterday was the worst I’ve seen for years, made some good decisions?? when FFS!. The only thing he got right was their penalty. Just ask yourselves [those who went of course],was that a 9 yellow card game?? :lol:

What a journey!I suggest then that you send your findings to the club, GMP, Wigan Council, The FA and the visting club as you could be on to something.Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit you tit. :P

What a journey!That ref today at Highbury was the worst I’ve seen in all my time watching football. He could not distinguish between a foul and a bookable foul. Same for both sides mind, not just the tics.
Once you book someone early on for a nothing infringement, you set the tone for the whole match and he did.
I stopped counting after the sixth, bloody awful officiating, whoever you are. :angry:From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!Didn’t go near the stadium, but did see a tweet from Greg Farrimond (WEP) about 1 pm, said that cars were turning round on Scott Lane as it was flooded near the stadium. Asda roundabout was flooded which meant only one of the 2 roads near the stadium was accessible safely.Can’t agree with the point about it going ahead if it was a PL game….if that was the case, why didn’t the Villa or Bolton game (2009) get played. Think the council would have been too busy sorting blocked/flooded roads and making sure people were safe than worrying about a football match which can be played anytime in the next 5 months.
There was more than one safe road in a I have pointed out,it would have just been a bit of an inconvenience FFS. I bet our friends in the Nordic countries are pishing their sides at the very thought of a match being called off cos of a bit of rain. :P

What a journey!Fair enough some good points there.
Reckon the fleetwood game will be ok no rain forecast so should be on tomorrow.
3-0 Laticspiggin hell its lashing down!!! :woohoo:

What a journey!Not important when you see the shocking pictures of wigan folk without a habitable home tonight.
The roads around the stadium were awful and the river was spilling over so they made the right decision regardless of the pitch state.
good decision wiganWhat about the poor bar stewards in Wigan without a habitable home rain or no rain. Everyone knows where the flood plane is in Wigan, it just happens to contain the ambulance station, the fire station and the police station. Do I feel sorry for Asda, well nope, sort that roundabout out it just needs a couple of drains at the lower level.
The thing that as done me is if we were still in the prem our pitch WOULD have been playable and the game would have gone ahead.[/quote]
The pitch was waterlogged anyway but even had we been in the prem the game would have been cancelled in certain of it.
Three access points to the stadium were flooded they did the right thing.
I remember a game against villa being cancelled after a major snowstorm in December 2010 due to access problems caused by snow.
Plenty of people affected in wigan by these dreadful floods a football match in the third division means nothing in my opinion .[/quote]I totally agree with you, although calling a game off due to snow storm is irrelevant in this thread. We all know that games have been called off due to treacherous conditions under foot around stadiums it has happened to us.
I’ve traveled to most grounds in England and Wales and some have just one road in and one way out. They cope all right it just takes more time to get away, some times best part of an hour, I’ve bin there, done that and got the T-shirt, like many others.
Sheff Utd fans I would imagine would come down the 62 then on to the 61 and off at the Macron. Aspull, Whelley, Swinley, Beech Hill all accessible, they may have had to sort the road out at the bridge near the car sales garages.
The car parks side of the soccer dome all fine and plenty of space for all the away fans and perhaps some home fans.As for the home fans, how many do you see going over the canal bridge after the game to areas around Woodhouse lane and onward, probably thousands. All fine in that direction apart from probably the bridge, off Woodhouse lane, remember a few years ago this being under water to just below the knees and people carrying other folk across.
The rest of the roads in the Wigan Area fine, so those who are coming via the Ashton side of the borough could have gone down towards Goose Green up towards Pem and down either Kitt Green Road or Montrose Avenue.
All those from the other side of the borough could have gone via Swinley and the Cheery gardens route, or via the back roads that by pass the Cherry Gardens route.
Now I’ve worked that out in 5 mins, an official Wigan Emergency Planning Team, that I know exists and I’ve been part of in my time, could have sat down and made the necessary arrangements with diversion signs and a little help from the Highways department.
The pitch would have needed sections covering, the areas they know hold water.
I will stick with what I said, if we had been playing man utd in a premier league game, the above would have happened, probably with financial help from the FA and the game would have gone ahead.
It didn’t because it would have cost a bit of money and there was no pressure from the football world to make it happen.
This country is the worst in the world for planning for emergencies and I’m not talking hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcano eruptions etc., I’m talking a heavy downpour or 30 cm of snow, even when the Met Office have told us what is going to happen several days in advance.This bleedin Fleetwood game better go ahead, although I would imagine having played yesterday and we didn’t, the club may not make one effort to prepare the pitch, if the weather turns again later today and overnight.

What a journey!You might be right George but in my 50 years of watching football I have never known a match to be called off due to flooding round the ground with the pitch playable. You may be able to drag one out but it’s not something I recall. There was still access to the ground and I would imagine it was just the car park at the side of the druggie that was flooded, the stony one at the side of the bridge and the ones on the soccer dome side would have been fine.
All it needed was a bit of planning, we all knew it was going to bucket down. With all that flooding in Carlisle a few weeks back, the racing still went ahead.From Matlock to ManU
