Ok fair fucks they won the league an’ all that, but tonight i had to endure a midnight train full of the turds on a train from Manc to Wigan with loads of feral scruffs singing “Bolton get battered” blah fucking blah.

They can enjoy their day in the sun, but we’re on our way back and our paths will no doubt cross again.

Karma.

Employees of Carrs Pasties need not apply

Would be quite funny to "plant an insider" and get him/her to sign long term supply deal with Carrs.

iirc a pie eating competition they have (had?) in wigan , once had its pies supplied to it by a bolton firm or shop (sayers or summat , i forget who exactly) . 

they moaned like fuck about that. 

so theyre probably still on alert

Interesting situation developing down the road…

Lots of comments saying Danson only wanted the stadium and they've been sold down the river 😂

 

There's a document posted to Twitter by a journalist stating the club's for sale but not the stadium

Scabby bastards will probably end up coming up smelling of roses as they have done twice before. The indifference of the current owner has been a good status quo so hopefully that equilibrium is preserved for the future. Relegation to League 2 would help matters but sadly I see both them and the seaside shit just about surviving.

Will the turd ever flush?

Well, seeing as the Football Club doesn't own the ground that's probably as well.

I recall that their fifteen fans were less than impressed when he rescued them a couple of years ago.

But it absolutely would be fit and proper, for them. A match made in heaven.

He absolutely hates that picture 

The local paper in Watford used to always use it in any story involving him and he threatened to sue them if they didn't stop

So they just used it more

Billionaire owner seeking someone else to prop up a money pit that is a dying L1 club with no support. Who’d of thunk it 

he’ll charge them a fortune in rent too for the ground 🤣

That led me to this ... Wanderer Since 63 shouldn't read it.

For others, get a big pot of builders going, some chunky biscuits & paracetamol.

I've had quite a few pies in Wigan and can confirm that they are not noticeably different to any other pies in the north west of England.

We used to call them Sweeney Todd pies

Pool's were vile and Galloway's are nothing to write home about either. Very Wigan to be the Pie Eaters but can't even turn out a half decent pie

The hotpots from Galloways are rank

I'll say it quietly, and they won't like it, but Warrington has a fairly high density and quality distribution of independent pie shops that shit on any ice had in and around Wigan.

Know folk in Wigan who reckoned, I think it was,  Poole's or Galloway's were very good

Then Dave Whelan bought them out and turned them into mass produced shite

That would make sense.

Galloways were always good when I worked there, but that was 30 odd years ago.

That was Poole’s. Ran them in to the ground.
