Contact in the box, however slight and causing the attacker to hit the deck, will in most cases result in a penalty. Unless it is seen as grappling, wrestling, hugging a player to the ground, etc. Then that is ok. But outside the box if a player as much as appears to pull a player back with...

Ok, ill ask one more time. Where is the netted seats information coming from. Or is it just someone having a guess? And why do some keep referring to the netting used for the city game?

But who as said netting will be in place?

Have i missed something here or what. Why put netting over the seats reducing capacity, isn't that defeating the "greed" motive?

In the past all the talk has been about how the DW stadium as become unaffordable for a club of our size. Then along comes an owner who is at last pragmatic and decides that this time lets take advantage of the stadium being twice as big as we really need and cash in to the tune of "as much...

In the great scheme of things, with all the shit happenings going on around the world and at home. Does it really fucking matter what seat you sit in when watching a football match? If it does, then we are all fucked.

Lots of things that as happened to this club recently, a club we all support seem so unfair and unjust. Dodgy owners, administration, point deductions, losing talented young players for a song, first class training facility also sold for a fraction of their value. The list goes on and on. But...

The div one odds are interesting. To get promoted we are around the fifties mark. But to finish top six, around sevens. The bookies there seem to be telling us that we are in with a chance finishing in a playoff place, but no chance of outright promotion. Its worth a tenner in my way of...

Yeah, i get it. The club are getting punished for the last owners mis-management. But when will any wrong-doing be seen to have been paid for by the club and us the fans. Or will it go on until those players that were under contract at the time of "wages non payment" have seen out that...

I was beginning to think everyone had forgotten about Josh Stones. That lad is potentially a decent player. Im expecting big things from him eventually. And sooner rather than later.

If any player has ideas about moving on to another club under this yet to be proven ruling of cancelled contracts allowing players to leave for free malarky. But If such a ruling does exists "which i doubt it does". But if it does, then when would anyone know when it was the time the player was...

Any player that wants to take advantage of the plight the club finds itself in doesnt sit right with me. They along with their agents and any club seeking to take advantage should hang their heads in shame. Is it not time some players take a look at themselves and realise what a fortunate...

Common sense and imagination.

If you cast your mind back a few years. "The Whelan Years". Haha, there you go docu makers thats a decent title for you. Well in those years Whelan used to suffer insults and aggravation from like-minded moaning fans as we have today. But then it was usually directed to his greed and his...

Has the cheaper season ticket deadline now gone? If so ive missed it. Ive been a season ticket holder for the last twenty years, and besides all of the uncertainty that is happening i had been thinking about not renewing this season anyway. I'm getting on a bit (76) and the season that as just...

made mi laff

No one can deny, that from lets say the "unfashionable clubs". In the last twenty years we have been the most succesfu! of all similar clubs by a country mile. But we have never taken advantage of any success we have had. It all just seems to get forgotten. Climbing the leagues till...

If there is a future for Wigan Athletic, then i hope any notion of us being a big club will be forgotten. Fans and management with memories of the worlds best players entertaining us every other week in a three quarters full stadium are days long gone. If we manage to survive to play our...

Running the academy doesn't come cheap. After the cost of running the first team and the cost of running the stadium, the cost of the academy must come third in line. And that means its expensive. So with all the likely cutbacks inevitable its almost certain that the academy will also suffer...

Since 1978 when Latics first joined the football league i dont think we have ever, as a town, cut the mustard with the football world, even though the club has consistently punched above its weight, the town as a whole as never really been there behind this club. Never really believed despite...
