We don’t have the big game mentality, we freeze, it was only a stroke of luck that enabled us to win against Burnley.
This is the most gutless Latics team in my time watching the club, we have to dominate a match to scrape a win, any less and it’s a guaranteed loss.
It has to be said, we are now red hot favourites to go down.
I expected something against Bolton, Villa and Fulham, we have nothing.
Interesting that he claims to have been there against Ipswich when Wigan gained promotion to the Premier League. One wonders why he was watching Sunderland at Portman Road that day when his “beloved” Wigan were playing Reading.…………….beat Ipswich to second place.
Oh, and weren’t Ipswich playing Brighton?
Ipswich played Sunderland a week or two previous, it was that draw that gave back Latics back the promotion advantage.
What I don’t get is the Warriros fans eagerness to comment on anything Latics reltated on any Latics or genreral Wigan sites that gives them the right to reply.
It’s not as if you can avoid them, they are in your face trying to stir things, then get the hump if someone verbally challenges them.
Good piece, it’s just a pitty he uttered those words ‘rugby town’, as if you take into account Utd/Liverpool etc. supporters, Wigan is, and always will be, a football town.
Then again anyone who lives here knows that.
ok so we need to sell to survive , who will stoke,fulham ,blackburn ,bolton sell to do the same ? you never see them or hear them doing so .Fulham are over £100m in debt, Boton are paying an extremely high interest rate on their debt and will go bust if relegated, while Blackburn will soon have to stand on their own two feet once the Walker money stops, leading their chairman to state they will then become a selling club. Stoke do get near 30k crowds, but have only had one season spending big, let’s see what happens later.
Frankly who cares about what happens to most of our current squad, I’d only want to retain a handful.
We are, that’s my point, but it’s still going to take a few years due to player contracts, transfer fee payments etc.
Other clubs like Hull and Bolton have similar debts to Latics, but they are paying high interest rates and/or have to pay back millions soon.
Fulham on the other hand have been racking up a £100m+ debt on Al Fayeds tab, and don’t appear to be cutting back.
Lots of clubs are in a similar financial position, the difference is some are taking steps to address this, even if it does take a few years.
I personally dont want “rewarding”! Niether do i want the club thinking that they are rewarding me.It would have been better advertised as “We are trying to get more people in”. It would have got more respect.
It’s a marketing slogan, nothing more, I doubt the club are pulling the wool over anyones eyes.
In my case it’s saved me a good few quid as I was buying extra tickets for the remaining games anyhow, it isn’t a chore to watch Latics, it’s actually entertaining (most of the time).
Times have changed, for every mention of the Warriors on Latics websites, you’ll find dozens about Latics on Warriors sites.
Really? Unless C&W has the most zealous moderating, then there’s hardly a mention of football on there, unlike threads like this that spring up pretty regularly.[/quote]
Now your just making yourself look even more silly than usual.http://www.wiganlatics.co.uk/page/TicketNews/0,,10429~2003208,00.htmlwhat the benefit for season ticket holders? Nothing ,thanks Dave just people who don’t buy ST getting a cheap ticket. I’m not renewing my ST
rant overYour benefit will be a lifetime of thanks from whoever you take along, just as I’m sure you’re greatful to whoever first introduced you to Latics.
Better than getting a free pie and pint don’t you think?

well done to the club, last season i brought my mates lad when cheap tickets were on and my mate and his lad both got season tickets this season because he enjoyed it so much. Cant rememeber the game but honestly he enjoyed it! The only way to get long term support is to get them in in the 1st place.It’s the only way the club are going to push on.
More supporters = more income = better squad (in theory).
Plus it’s always better to watch football when there’s a decent atmosphere.
You can argue all you like about semantics, or grown men wanting to be ‘rewarded’ for supporting their club, I’ll be grabbing as many tickets as I can.
That’s not because I’ve been taken in by the marketing spiel, we all know the club would love to sell out week in, week out, enabling them to jack up the prices.
It’s because I want my nieces, and any Wiganer for that matter, to support and watch Latics, they’ll be better for it, the club will, and so will the town.
At a club like Latics most new supporters are introduced by a long time fan, if we can’t be bothered bringing along new fans to the club, no one else will, you may as well add them to the long list of armchair Utd/Liverpool fans!
Season ticket holders can change seats at anytime.
The club should keep the message simple and bang home the point you can bring along 3 people to each game for just £12.
There’s a full 3 weeks to get the message across, if the club can’t get at least 10% of season ticket holders to take up this offer, for 3 crucial games, there’s somethings wrong.
