I’d have thought the club would be swamped with requests for season tickets at the ridiculous rice being charged.
Can’t understand fair weather fans and their ridiculous mentality .blunder land have been moAning that players are twice the price now because of the new tv deal.
Gauging the fact that he has two years on his contract to go and hasn’t cut it at this level yet.
Grigg by all accounts is a really sound bloke and is not a big time charlie despite his rapid rise to fame recently.
I reckon based on the inflated market , contract left and his hit rate last year he is worth at least 10 million .
I can’t see any club paying that and the risk
Of him not doing it at championahip level means he probably will stay.
Might have a battle in January next year if he bags the goals .
Rangers haven’t a hope in hell as that league is awful and it would be like going back league 1 in
My opinion .The prices are about right in my view.
good showcase games to sell the Latics season tickets and a sign of the positive changes brought in by the new management.
Loads of local kids will want to come and watch the big clubs but might get hooked on Latics in the process and its far better than turgid aways at the likes of Southport and Rochdale .
A sign that we have returned to the big time but a big European club would have been fantastic say Juventus or AC Milan and I’m certain clubs like this tour the UK in summer.
Very positive moves by this dynamic management team at Latics and what a change from the doom and gloom of last summer.
Onwards and upwardsPut a media blackout of any news stories and watch the interest bomb from the head bangers who
Latch on to this club.
Ban all social media footage and completely ban the news stories and watch the interest wane.
Points deductions would also mean the genuine supporters might start to stand up against this pond life effectively ending their inadequate activities.Some good points Nuneaton latic and I am a traditionalist also but that was all chucked out of the window 24 years ago when that dreadful greed league was created.
I’m always saddened when traditional clubs leave the football league pyramid and it almost like they become forgotten on the national media which is wrong.
Bringing them into an enlarged football league will generate more interest in the media, create more media opportunities and increase away support generating much needed revenue for cash strapped clubs.
Whether we like it or not football is a business and the game cannot stand still especially if your like Latics and surrounded by four of the biggest clubs in the country.
Change is inevitable to protect the leaguesAlways been against the policy that throws out big football league clubs into the wilderness of non league.
We as a club were elected based on size and fan base etc however we have had big clubs like Stockport and tranmere chucked out in favour of micro clubs like fleetwood and Crawley .
No disrespect to these clubs but it is a lot harder to gain promotion from the non league now than it ever was but to lose vital revenue from away support when clubs this size lost their status wAs something I never understood.
Reshape the league to four divisions of 26 and I agree regionalisation would be a good thing in theory.
I am in favour as we need to protect and enhance our grass roots footballPrudent team strengthening needed
Goalkeeper, centre half , full back and striker and I think a solid mid table finish can be achieved.
Anything more is just dreaming !!Saved the worst performance till the final game but when 4000 Jonny come latelys have turned up will hardly help the season ticket sales!!!
Only joking they deserve all the plaudit s and quite simply this is one of the best seasons I can ever remember and I startedwatching the tics in 1979 .
From start to finish these lads have been a credit and there attitude and hard work deserves massive praise.
I have to say I had a fairly large lump in the throat As they walked around with the cup At the end because this promotion feels so special and I have never been that emotional until today!
Well done to the new team at the club , a new start , a new direction and a feeling that the real Latics is back !!!!No doubt one of these woodworms will be sat in my seat when I get to the game today as per the last game.
Middlesborough will no doubt fill that stadium again ever week next year but seem to lose 15000 whenever they drop down.
Expect a big relegation battle with perennial lame dogs Blunderland next season!Probably the greatest most satisfying promotion in our history given the chaos and unrest of last season.
The manager and the back room team as well as the young chairman deserve great credit in getting the club stabilised and then providing the loyal 8000 supporters with a season to remember .
A bit of prudent team strengthening from our new scouting network and who knows what this exciting young team can achieve going forward.
In some respects I will miss this division with the honesty shown by the majority of the players and the good standard of technical ability that was far better than when we last graced this division 12 years ago.
Well done to all concerned in getting this great club back in the news for the right reasons rather than the wrong ones !
Bloody fantastic Wigan !!!!A great night really still 6 clear ( 7 if you add the goal difference point) and actually could do it almost on Saturday if we win and certain results go our way
odds checker have deleted Latics from the promotion list and I reckon the fat lady is clearing her throat now .If Walsall hadn’t got that alleged phantom goal last Saturday we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
My prediction
Latics 87 points.
Burton 83 points
Walsall 82 pointsrest assured the lads will be up for this one tonight and having watched Burton a few times I just can’t see them being able to deal with our attacking threat if we are on it tonight.
Don’t forget Walsall have to make up 3 points plus the extra advantage earned through goal difference so no time to panic just yet.Fat lady is now reaching for the music sheets so what a grand gesture this is to reward the loyalty of the hardy souls who have watched and enjoyed this incredible season.
a bit of work to do yet so the timing is a bit of a head scratcher but what a marvellous gesture from the chairman and if we get up what a fantastic league the championship will be next year with all the big clubs in it.Went home and had my tea with no regrets after going out to Gradely in that naff penalty shoot out.
Can understand getting excited if you have had Jack sh@@ to cheer about for decades like these two clubs.
The JPT trophy against a city more famous for rowing boats and producing tory toffs when you have been recently dining at the top table wouldn’t have cut it for me.
When you have recently dined at the ivy you don’t want to go back to the bus station baked potato cafe do you?
It doesn’t warrant a live TV slot anymore by the look of it either.
Onwards and upwards and don’t look back
