Many years ago 65+ I went to Anfield to watch Liverpool play Notts County (an original member of the football league formed in 1888). I remember it well for Notts had a very famous center forward playing for then by the name of Tommy Lawton, Notts were a big club those days. I noticed quite recently they played Harrogate in the play offs for the right to play in league 2 of the football league which they lost.
How the mighty have fallen, but in the case of Notts county not disappeared. We might easily go the same way, but it is up to everyone of you supporters to face reality, and make sure the club survives to fight another day.
The road ahead will not be easy, Wigan is not a wealthy town, we are part of the grim North (as our more affluent southern breatheran would say ) so we can't expect another sugar dady to take over the reigns.
I just hope that whoever takes over, and that is by no means certain will conduct our affairs with honesty and integrity (something in short supply these days).
In these uncertain times it is not going to be easy to start again whether it is going to be in league 1 or non league.
It will be up to you supporters who are fit and able to not lose heart, but support the club by getting off your backsides and go through the turnstiles, pay your money even if we playing shit. The glory days are over, but with much work form all, we might not be another Notts County.
