February 3, 20242 yr The parasites are a stain we shouldn't have to come across much longer and they fade like Tranmere. Don't like them the odd time we will have to play them but that's about it

Blackpool comes close to that bracket but not quite and I hate playing them. Wigan - others have articulated. When we start recording wins against Burnley, PNE and Blackburn then we really can say Bolton are back. And hopefully we can push on further from there. Yeah, that’s pretty much where I’m at. As much as it sticks in the throat, you have to say that the pair of East Lancs Dingles and Nob End are the yardstick to aim at and eventually surpass.

Yes Paul it seems a long time since all our stars aligned and we were in the same league so let’s hope it happens next year.
February 3, 20242 yr Not arsed about PNE one bit. Preston a good day out, mind. Don’t care what anyone says but none of those games have anything close to the edge of the games against Wigan.

I left Bloomfield Road, only marginally disappointed and quite impressed with the backing Blackpool fans, as few as there were, gave their team. I can't ever see Wigan in any kind of positive light. They're a team of c*nts, managed by a c*nt and supported by c*nts! If it were to happen, playing Burnley next year would be damn scary. Thanks to Topsy-turvy Coyle, we're now 10 years behind them.

But if we beat Blackburn or Burnley I'd get a lot more satisfaction and pride than beating Wigan. Even if we win its just a feeling of relief, thank god that's out of the way, it still feels like a tinpot game. When the fixtures come out, whatever division we're in, I'd look forward to the Lancashire derbies, I don't look forward to Wigan one bit.

Being so obviously biased I'd say we are a slightly bigger club than all three of them. The years ahead hopefully involve us proving that, which is a decent prospect to have on the horizon.

I think it was 2000/01 in big Sam's promotion season. Four points off Burnley, six off PNE but only one off Blackburn. You have to go back a long, long time before that for a further example of all four being in the same division. Edited February 3, 20242 yr by paulhanley
February 3, 20242 yr The Friday night Roverrs came and hammered us was a night to forget. Hated every pint I had to endure with them afterwards
February 3, 20242 yr Spent 20 years of my life living in Wigan ( thankfully moved 7 years ago ), living there coincided with them rising the leagues and eventually getting to the premier league. In the early days they were never on the radar and with my kids going to school and playing football at weekends it was ok. There was no rivalry and I was interested in there journey, but as soon as they reached the premier league things changed, kids started to pick up on it at school, can’t describe how horrible it was and I guess wanderers fans who live in Blackpool, Blackburn and other towns nearby may have a similar experiences, it was just a f…..g depressing place to live.

Wigan does nowt for me and it never will, where for plenty they see it as a big one.

February 20, 20242 yr No way Morrison is an idiot always late for training pissed up that’s why teams got shut of him!
February 20, 20242 yr It'll be his agent trying to generate 1 last pay day from someone gullible. I'd have said Derby but he's already burnt his bridges there I think.
February 22, 20242 yr Good move all round. Hope he's ready to challenge for the 1st team when he returns
