Runcorn I know we’re your coming from but I also totally understand Vat69, I’m the same as him, on my sleave bloke with blood pressure off the charts with watching the team we all love, Bristol result was a killer today for us but I’ll still purchase a season ticket next season.
& so will i.
I for one am glad i came now & this coming from someone who did not finish work until 3pm & who works in st helens. Got to poolstock for 3.15 (quite good really) & my kind mother dropped me off, where i met up with my son, father & sister.
The performance was expected given both teams league positions. We also had the added pressure of being the team with more to lose. Whilst i cant comment on the first 25 mimutes of the game, what i saw was a decent battling performance which merited the win.
As for your comments vat69 – i’m sorry, but what kind of supporter are you. If that is your attitude, you can fook off now for me & never return. Don’t get me wrong, i haven’t been particularly happy with the way things have gone this season. And, should barrow be given the job full-time (which i don’t think he will TBH), i won’t be happy with that either. But, i will still be here next season, the season after, the one after that & so on.
Why? Wigan athletic is the club i love. My home town club. I will be celebrating (regardless of what league we are in next season) my 40th season supporting this fine club. 40 years ago i expected my team to be one of those teams that always languished in the 2 bottom divisions forever. Since 1995 my club went on a fantastic ride & spent 7 more seasons in the premier league than what i thought it would.
Yes 3 of the last 4 seasons haven’t been the best. But regardless, i always presumed one supported a club through the good times & moreso, the bad.
Deluded. Win a game and all is right with the club. Ffs[/quote]
Not sure what you mean by “deluded!”
Do you expect regular champions league football at wigan or something.
Have you ever stopped to think that miserable choots like you are one of the main reasons the atmosphere is so bad? Me well I’m just going to enjoy a rare win and not waste my time looking for negatives.Agreed otter!!
I walked after they took lead, because I lost it and had an explosion of language which two old coots sat behind me didn’t like.
I’m sorry, but I’ve had enough. Not just the crap on the pitch, but the whole match going experience. There’s no atmosphere, and we have some right boring gimps who sit there, quietly mumbling and grumbling about our failings. And if it’s not that, it’s the gobby get who thinks he’s a comedian sat behind us. Likes being heard, and tries to laugh and joke about how crap we are. He can’t be a proper supporter, not acting how he does, the attention seeking nob.That’s me totally done for the season. A self imposed ban. Because if I carry on going, I’ll get a real ban for losing it. I was tempted today to shoot down the front and have a right go…we were terrible. We may have ended up winning the game today, but don’t be fooled. The performance was shambolic again. Against an already relegated side.
I had thoughts of chucking my season ticket….or cutting it up. But no. I’ll Save it for the summer for when they announce Barrow has been given the job. I’ll send our tickets to the club and tell them to stick it up their……Never been as disenchanted. I shouldn’t have gone today. I was already wound up about how we are, but the sun convinced me. And what a poor turn out. Can’t blame people at all.
What did I tell you! a bit later than I expected, but in she comes. :lol:
Just think what you said there Dave, you have had a go at someone who vocally calls the team crap, in your words “he mustn’t be a proper supporter” then you leave early, threaten to rip your season card up and say you are not going again this season, just because we struggled to beat Rotherham, Jesus wept!
Anyway you missed a fekin screamer from Powell and some of the best football we’ve played all season for the last 10-15 mins of the match. :whistle:[/quote]
Quite right JR.
And, as i said in my post on another thread to which i replied to you vat69, i came straight from work, which didn’t finish until 3pm. I could have thought stuff it! But no. I came straight down to the match. Why??? I love supporting my club, thats why! I will do the same next season as well if/when we are in league 1. Why?? Because i love supporting my club.
And i for one hate it when i cant get to games (like thursday night) because of work.
Don’t be fooled by that win.Terrible performance. Wrong team selection.
Crap squad of players, crap manager. Why Hanson is picked….I have no idea. Best midfielder we have, Morsy, dropped.
Starting to HATE going to games. So much is wrong with the club.
Fook!! Not you again.
Vat69! Do you think anyone is happy with what has gone on this season. I could predict that 100% of our fans are not happy. Its been a bad season. Sometimes, these do happen to football clubs – not just wigan. Support a club through the good times & bad!!!!!

I had a better dream Snowy. I dreamt the Worriers were knocked out of the Challenge Cup 55-0 by Shevy Sharks under 8s. The game at Newburgh sports watched by 20000 Shevy villagers coz all the squatters fans were in the pubs in Wigan blaming Mr David Whelan for the defeat. One was heard to say “This is all tight arses fault how come we ain’t got players as good as that four eyed kid who ran us ragged all afternoon” The dream ended with Shevy buying out the gits and taking their place in Superleague while the Worriers went on to ground share with St Judes. Now that’s a dream.
I dream of winning the euro millions jackpot and buying the eggs out and slowly and painfully running them into the ground.
First move would be to buy a ploughed field for them to play on.
Then install LHL and Donny as Joint Managers, and pay them lose bonuses.
Sell the entire squad and pocket the extra cash.
Bring in a bunch of no hopers from the pubs of Wigan as players.
Change their strip to Mr Blobby colours.
Sit back and watch their horrible fans (few exceptions obviously) squirm, moan and cry as their shitty club grinds into oblivion.Other than that I would give it my best shot.[/quote]
What a lovely & pleasant dream.
I can see Barrow being given the job, which is worrying when he comes out and makes comments like….
“Our defending has actually been quite sound this season…”Really? And that’s why we are 2nd bottom? A daft comment to come out with.
Well his record so far indicates to me that he won’t get the job full time. If he does get the job next season – “be afraid, be very afraid.”
People who desert the club if/when we are relegated can fook off forever for me. Give me hardcore & loyal supporters who stay with the club whatever league we may be in any day of the week.
I have always believed our rise to the greed league (including the cup win) was the start of our demise & NOT the slide down the leagues. From always being a lower league club during my earlier years as a latics mon, supporters always seemed content of who we were. Since being promoted to the greed league, my guess is that some people now view our club as a premier league club & should still be there. I wonder if supporters of the likes of bradford, pompey et al (clubs our size – if not slightly bigger) think the same!!
Whatever happens this season, next season & thereafter, i WILL still be here (work permitting). This is my club. Im celebrating my 40th anniversary next season as a latics mon. If someone told me back in 1978 that i would see my team play in all 4 divisions & win a cup, but would slide back down to whence we came – i would have taken that. Football is a rollercoaster folks. Take the ups with the downs.
Give me a small hardcore fanbase any day of the week.
That was the beauty of springfield park in one sense. We may not have known people’s names around us, but we knew their faces.This is getting too silly now, let’s Finish it here! :blink:https://thumbnail.image.rakuten.co.jp/@0_mall/caramelcafe/cabinet/00810143/finish01.jpg
Why finish it now JR. I was going to surf the web to find more.
Just one bottle of shiraz was it Leyland
On paper possible yes, but…… We have to play 4 of the top 5, 3 away! As loyal as i’d like to be, the picture doesn’t look good so i’m fully expecting us to go down. On current form, & with my blue tints on, i can only see us getting 9 points. Which is nowhere near enough.
If we are lucky enough to come back up next season, maybe Sharpy won’t be as naive and not get too giddy on deadline transfer day.
Yes, but for the top teams it could be squeaky bum time; then we’ve got to play without fear and try to take advantage of their nerves. We have nowt to lose ![/quote]
When a team is relegated it begins to play more freely, without fear & plays as if it actually enjoys its football. Our approach therefore in these remaining games should be one of a team that is already down. Simply play as though there is nowt to lose & just go for it. As you say lostock, the top teams will start having squeaky bums & the pressure is on them. Many twists & turns between now & end of season.
