I went to that Northwich game too. I went to school with Wigan fans and was persuaded to go on the coach with mates to the Northwich away game. Massive atmosphere, proper kicking off inside and out, it got abandoned due to fog after about an hour. Replayed 3 days later (a draw) then back to Wigan for replay. Had no dislike whatsoever of Wigan until 83 when our paths started to cross. Prior to that as a school kid I watched them often, along with other local teams. Wigan had no comparison with the soulless club it is now, and it was one of those grounds where you could walk round 3 sides of the ground during the game to get a different view.
