What has happened to our club is totally devastating, it's created job losses, the possible loss of our club, shown us the total ineptitude of the EFL ,the callousness of our so called owners & not to mention the frustrations we feel in all the unanswered questions from those who should be answering them.
It has left many of us shell-shocked & dumbfounded by how quick this has all come about, the ramifications of points deductions & possible new owners...dark clouds now hang over the DW stadium where there was previously bright shining lights of hope when our form had returned & it looked like relegation could be avoided - who could have guessed what lay ahead for us!!!
In all this darkness tho there have been some tremendous beacons of light which I'm almost certain could only be attributed to 'Little Wigan'.....
The fantastic crowd funding climbing total, the detective work of the many, the undercover camera work of one East stand lad, the thousands of great inspiring tweets / messages from past players, ex players, opposition fans, celebrities, radio pundits, Members of Parliament & the honest to goodness Latic fans of all ages. It has galvanised the fans, brought us together & made us even prouder of the club we support. The players, manager, coaching & backroom staff have played their part as well, producing some true grit performances despite the unpredictable predicament they find themselves in, inspired no doubt by some heartfelt videos from young school children, old die hard fans & everyone else in-between, some have even brought a tear to my eye with their sincerity & humbleness.....we can't be at the ground to cheer them on so hopefully this is the next best thing.
All the above has made me realise what a great club this is & makes me proud to be a Wiganer despite my Scottish roots. Hopefully we avoid relegation, we successfully appeal the points deduction, we force a rethink on how the EFL run, we have honest, respectable & well meaning new owners but most of all we can carry this togetherness through to wherever we find ourselves.
