A few topics on here since yesterdays match about all the foreigners at Anfield yesterday.
The number of foreigners in the away end seems to be getting more and more everytime i go. More at the games which cost the most money looks like the real fans will only go to the cheaper grounds and i dont blame them. The atmosphere was crap yesterday not only from the Liverpool fans but also from in our end. Now my lad as ticked Anfield of his list i wont be going back. :(
I know a few of those plastic Wiganers pretty well who happen to play for the club in the Reserves, and they and their families get really into supporting the club now. Some are even from Spain (eg. Abian Serrano)
Is this not spreading the word of Wigan Athletic, making our club a team to support for people from all over the world?
Donnolly is a great example, and your saying you don’t think he should support the club as a plastic Wiganer / foreigner?
Oh and Jayt …. Donnolly was on Row 9 Seat 26 if i’m not mistaken. :shifty: [/quote]
Sephton you have answered my argument in your reply. Will these reserves players, family and friends be bothered about Wigan Athletic when they move on to their next club? Will they be bothered if we get relegated in the near future? NO. But I will and so will a lot of local Wiganers who now don’t bother because away days more than often now are crap due to the growing influx of new fanss who don’t really care about OUR football club but just about the Premier league.
When our equaliser went in I was jumping up and down on my seat like a demented idiot giving it the big un to all the so called scouscers. We were on a level playing field with a team who when I was growing up were winning European cup and League Titles one after another. A time when I looked out of my bedroom window looked at Springfield Park and dreamed of seeing Alan Hansen, Bruce Grobbaleer, King Kenny and co playing there. Do you think it meant so much to them?
I spoke to one of my neighbours (been to more away games that me and you have had hot dinners) early last week and asked him was he going to Liverpool he replied if only I can find £40 from somewhere, this was from somebody who normally would have sold his wife to go to away games. Times have changed and Football as changed and I don’t like it but I will just have to live with it until the FA and the media get their wish and we finally overstay our welcome and get relegated.
We keep getting told about history and how all these great clubs around us have got a lot more history than ours well the same fans should remember the history and origins of football and what the football club meant to its local community.
Finally when Knob End, Liverpool, Bolton fans etc go on about us having no so called history just tell them this your living in it and we are creating it.
Now let’s get behind OUR football club and get them through this Relegation scrap they have started to show desire and so should we.
To make matters worse im sure they use to sponsor BlackpoolJust had a look at old Blackpool shirts it was Rebeccas of Southport, easy mistake to make. :text-blondmoment:
Jay i wished i had stayed with you after the Sir Thomas Frost i could have met VAT myself. Never mind some other time eh VAT
Somebody as already tried this idea and started their own website called laticstext.co.uk i have just had a look for the website and cant find it but found this article about it
The ArticleI have tried handing out sheets with songs on but forgot that most people in ES2 cant actually read.
Its just like :angry-banghead:
I will probably jump on that train at Pemberton, I have my 6 year old with me… oh and my 70 year old…Pair of trainers? Coat?
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Thanks for the all the advice.Looks like i am going to go the way VAT as said catching the 11:52 from Wigan via Kirkby. There is a train at 17:14 then 18:14 coming back via Kirkby so i think it will be a nice gentle stroll back after the match.
As for my lad walking if we were going around Wigan or ASDA shopping he does nothing but moan, but he will walk bare footed over broken glass to get to football. Thats the result of taking him there since he was 18 months old might be hard work at the start but you get the rewards in the end.
Billlatic – paying £40 thats why i cant afford a bloody taxi
Leigh Jenkinson and the amazing stepover :roll: :roll:The Jenkinson Jink, i think the St Andys side burst out laughing everytime he did it.
The size of our club means that we actually need RESULTS, rather than ‘pretty football’. Leave the Arsenals and Uniteds to play the ‘pretty stuff’, and get lauded for it….and then hopefully watch them come unstuck when they play us and we beat them. (ok, maybe not United….)
Did we not win our first match against one of the Big uns in the Martinez era playing pretty football after 4 seasons of waiting.
He may have played for our biggest rivals, but he was a true footballing legend. I actually bumped into him in a service station in Birmingham and had the honour of shaking his hand and speaking to him about football. A true legend!Alright Marc, had a couple of pints with your Paul in the Pagey last nice. ;)
