I remember a game .v. bournemouth i think in the ’85/86 season. Won the game 3 – 0 with a tony kelly screamer & the game was played with a white ball.
I for one am glad the game is on friday night as i can attend. Had it been saturday, i’d have been in work.
Football formations have changed & evolved over time. Who knows, maybe football will go back to 4 4 2.
Its called the FA Cup guys. A chance for minnows to pit their wits against the big boys. And, on occassions, ACTUALLY beat them. I remember 4 years ago when we were minnows in may & look what happened.
Fylde, (& come on guys lets give them credit here!) probably even upped their game against us to try & get a result against recent cup winners.
We got in ground nice and early, wanted to get a nice, safe spec for the kids who are 11 and 8. Did so. Or so we thought.First 10 or 15 mins was full of latecomers “just have one more pint” coming in anf then deciding to stand smack bang in front of us. Kids couldnt see at all, so had a word with 3 or 4 and told them to move. Stewarding was crap. Kept shepherding people in from the corner, then told some to move into spaces up on the terracing, yet let a group of about 10 bellends stand at the side of the goal, up to the hoardings. Totally ruining the view of kids and several people who had been in early. Some Wigan fans are a disgrace. There was a toilet cubicle without a toilet fitted in. Can you believe people were still pissing on the floor? Absolutely disgusting. I’m no prude, heck I went in the old Wembley toilets where you were paddling in piss, but come on!
Battling to keep my kids interested but it will be home games only from now on.
Anybody who didnt go tonight, think yourselves very lucky. Shocking performance against a piss poor Fylde side. Plenty sideways passing, hardly tested their keeper. Maybe we arent as good as we think? Is it League One thats poor quality? If we go up we will need a complete new side as nowhere near good enough. Massey isnt good enough, Power was shocking and one up front…I hate it. Grigg cant play the role. He got a goal but did nothing else. Morsy, Evans and Jacob trying to create things, but nothing up front.
So a replay it is then. A game we didnt need and a 2000 attendance. At least we are in the draw, I suppose.We didnt deserve anything other than what we got. Had a lot of possession, did nothing with it.
I disagree vat. We are a decent side & are where we are in the league on deserved merit. Last night was a classic cup tie where the minnows, whilst totally outclassed by higher league opposition, performed as a unit & fully deserved their draw. Admittedly! I believe we treated the game as a training match & should have been more ruthless. I get the impression that after we scored, we took the foot off the peddle & thought “game-over.” Plus, fylde did come at us more in the 2nd half.
I agree, cook does need a word with them. And, im also sorry for you & your boys matchday experience, which should have been (regardless of the result) a thoroughly enjoyable evening out.
Having a very close family member who is gay, i find the comment totally offensive. Even if i didn’t, i would still find the comment offensive.
Jack maynard was kicked off i’m a celebrity for offensive remarks………
Politicians are made to resign when making such comments…….
Good to see not all of the players participated in this bloody shite, thumbs up from me.
Its bad enough them wearing pink or orange boots without this.
Do you have a problem with this initiative, Bullitt?[/quote]
Judging by his earlier comments i would say “yes” garswood.
Half of our attendances versus lfc, mufc etc were wigan born glory hunters coming along to see their heroes. A smaller capacity would see at a guess, 10-12000 ST holders, plus a few pay on the days & away fans.
And therefore the wigan born glory hunters would have no room to be able to see their heroes, as the stadium would be filled with genuine supporters.
We normally get mince pies free on boxing day, there’s a treat.You beat me to it.
The problem we have & i’ve said it since august 1999, the stadium is too big for a club the size of wigan (including our lodgers). A stadium with a bournemouth size capacity would be more beneficial.
Having a stadium with a 15000 capacity would have stopped our premier league supporters coming along to see your rooney’s & gerrards. Half of our attendances versus lfc, mufc etc were wigan born glory hunters coming along to see their heroes. A smaller capacity would see at a guess, 10-12000 ST holders, plus a few pay on the days & away fans.
Im not sure how many ST’s we have sold this season. But 8000 regulars (& a few away supporters) would look better & fuller in a smaller stadium. I understand DW’s ambition. But a club that was only averaging 3000 upon his buying of the club, was too much to ask to fill a 25000 stafium IMO.
