That day is 'burned' in my memory,
after so many disappointments,
we finally made it through the 'Voting System',
The first round of voting was tied,
with both clubs receiving 26 votes.
After a tense re-vote which Wigan controversially won 29–20, Southport lost their place in the Fourth Division and Wigan Athletic became an English League club on 2 June 1978.

And the 'rest' is History!

Your right,
that was our 'Springboard' to all the Success that followed on
from that 'Historic Day' for Wigan Athletic F.C.
From the Cheshire League to the Premier League,
it was a Roy of the Rovers story.

That dungeon underneath the Phoenix stand in the paddock was the only place to have a shite too. Bloody awful but cig stump races in the piss stone channel near the club shop was different.

That dungeon shit house would have made a set for an hammer horror production.
