He is middle age and turns out in a footy shirt that says enough about him . Mmm , our paths have never crossed. He can't be that loud. There a few that frequent the Tap . Very subdued at the moment.

About half the people who died in the Burnden disaster had addresses in the Wigan area - but history is something they will never understand. Still a lot of Whites in the Hindley area, but they tend to be older end. Most Wigan youth seem to be Latics/Man U/Liverpool.

Whelan’s parting gift was to effectively dissolve the previous stadium company and transfer the ownership in to the club’s name, much to the rugby’s chargin as you’d expect. Things have got progressively messy to the extent that, when the rugby moved their training ground to Robin Park Arena next door to the stadium, they built a bar so they get to keep the money rather than Latics getting it from the stadium bars.

Ta. Amazing. Whoever your team there can be zero debate about which is the leading sports club in Wigan.
January 8, 20233 yr I see they had a very late goal disallowed at Luton and now have a replay for the reward of playing Grimsby in round 4. They will be snapping up tickets for that replay in their dozens.

The closer McLean comes to that final, career-ending, leg-breaking tackle. The nearer that trap-door they get.
