Some mad days at RL in those days. They were mad indeed. Lots of football lads tagging on to games for a bit of fun due to being able to have a pint on the terraces and a lot less coppers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Looks like Wigans suffering has only just begun. The vast majority of Wigan fans enjoyed our suffering - now it’s our time to enjoy theirs 🤣 Sweet.

snowball Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 They really are thick as fuck. one mon suggested Bowyer for new manager mentioning he was out of work had experience of working with skint teams and could fit bill. His mate said what about his off field antics. No thats Lee you thick pie eater and a manager is least if your worries. Roll on Friday and start of transfer window.

Johnnyrotten Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I was reminded of an email I sent a year ago this week when a Liverpool fan I have dealings with said "are you looking forward to the start of the season" in all innocence. I replied along the lines of we've only got 5 players, of which 3 have put their notice in and the PFA have lent us £200k so that we can be given permission to play our first game at Wycombe, if we can raise a team. Things have come a long way for us and now its someone else's turn. We should raise a glass to FV this weekend or whenever an appropriate anniversary is, it shouldnt be forgotten and what they've done for us taken for granted.

Johnnyrotten Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 * dont quote me on £200k I've no idea what the actual detail was, just know someone baled us out to get through to the first game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall that FV put some money in before they actually were able to buy the club, I could be wrong on that but if I'm correct would it have been to ensure the first game could go ahead?

Roger_Dubuis Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I can't remember which match FV paid out for either, I just know for sure it wasn't Doncaster. The Wigan manager leaving is great news, hopefully the takeover drags on long enough for them to be fielding a youth team managed by their equivalent of Jimmy Phillips at the start of the season.

It's remarkable that they stuck around to get the deal done considering everything they were up against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
