JWAW’s (Semi Final) Wembley Road Trip in pics

ByDan April 16, 2013September 3, 2026

Wembley coach trip — First on the coach for a sunny start to the journey.

Wembley road trip breakfast pie — In-coach breakfast. Haven’t had steak pie in ages. And don’t worry, I cleaned up the mess afterwards.

3.30pm – 105 minutes to kickoff

Wembley arch — Finally there! Shield your eyes from the Wigan-esque drizzle and take in the sights.

Wembley coach park — A sea of Wigan coaches. That’s only a third of the car park.

Inside New Wembley Stadium — So this is what it looks like on the inside. Unnervingly red, but impressive nonetheless. Over an hour to kickoff yet…

Wembley big screen — Fenners off Soccer AM announces the lineups. Al Habsi back in the team!

Latics Wembley warmup — Great, the Latics lads made it down in one piece. Well, most of them anyway.

Latics Wembley warmup (2) — Wigan’s Wembley warmup.

Wembley Stadium big flags — Almost kick-off time. I know because there are comically large flags where the players ought to be.

Wembley pre-match — Ready to kick off now. Let’s get it on!

Match highlights

Game won!

Millwall 0-2 Wigan.

Roberto's Wembley celebrations — Victorious, Roberto thanks his adoring supporters.

Wigan Wembley celebrations — When do we get to do it all again? Oh, that’s right, in just under a month’s time. Woohoo!

Wigan 2-2 QPR: Latics left Green in the face
ByDan December 8, 2012December 8, 2012

Injury and suspension-hit Latics mustered an admirable display to rescue a point against an all-star Queen’s Park Rangers side, largely thanks to James McCarthy’s outstanding brace either side of half time. Statistics might suggest poor finishing on behalf of the Wigan strikers, but in reality a series of good saves from Rob Green were all…

Wigan v Stoke (9th February 2010) photos
ByDan February 11, 2010

I’ve been slacking on the photo front (and in pretty much every other aspect of blog maintenance, come to think of it) recently, but rest assured there’s a nice selection of snaps from the Everton match (well, not the actual match, you understand – I’m not risking getting my season ticket revoked) on the way…

Wigan 5-0 Colchester: Christmas tape, here we come
ByDan October 17, 2015

Gary Caldwell’s Fan Site Q&A was far too serious for JWAW’s liking. Where were the soundbites for our annual Christmas tape of blunders and general humorous comments? At this rate, I’ll have to request an audience with Mike Pollitt – I get the feeling you could comfortably fill an eight-hour VHS longplay cassette with his…

They’re an ambitious lot, that bunch at All Gone Latics. Upon reading 101 Goals’ list of the funniest Euro 2016 fantasy football team names, they instantly boasted they could defeat the nation’s collective wit at this punny little game. As for how successful those narcissistic website editors have actually been, we’ll let you, the esteemed…

Wigan 2–2 Arsenal: Halfway there, livin’ on a prayer?
ByDan December 30, 2010May 17, 2011

Before yesterday evening, Latics’ record stood at nineteen points from eighteen games. I’d speculate that given the strength of the lower half of the league, a point a game wouldn’t be enough to see us through to 2011–12, but a little bit more than that may well be. A similar run of results in the…

Leicester 2-0 Wigan: Belgium calling?
ByDan September 14, 2013November 9, 2013

Greetings, o traveller! I see you survived your long and arduous journey to the Realm of the King on this fine afternoon. You are indeed courageous, yet at the same time foolish, for though we provide ample amenities (which sadly no longer include free Walkers crisps), our dedicated team of trained swordsmen shall see to…
