After a particularly exhausting weekend, I believe it is time to relax for a moment with some news from the world of art, specifically of the football sticker variety. In August last year, I announced on the Progress With Unity Podcast that I would be helping visitors to the National Football Museum create a large…
I am told that a batch of shiny new fanzines arrived at the All Gone Latics office this afternoon. However, since there are only a limited number available, I suggest you order a copy now to avoid disappointment. Not that, er, AGL is disappointing in any way, but I suspect you’d be quite cheesed off…
Until the internet came along, I always wanted to write or compile my own fanzine. Hence, I like to pay particular attention when changes in the Latics paper-based ‘zine scene are afoot. I’ve been dropping the odd not-so-subtle hint that something may be in the pipeline, but it’s now official: All Gone Latics is now…
Dear reader, You are cordially invited to the recording of Progress With Unity’s first open forum, which will take place on Wednesday 15th October at the Beech Hill Book Cycle Studios at 7pm. Refreshments and witty replies will be provided, but we want you to bring the questions. Yes, after 100 episodes we have finally…
Fancy a brisk walk on Saturday morning? Then why not join the Joseph’s Goal Walk4Joseph heading from the DW to Bolton’s Reebok Stadium? It’s for a fantastic cause, plus there might be a pie in it for you. Hahah, your ears pricked up then, didn’t they? You don’t have to be a Latics fan, or…
The League of Scotsmen strikes again! Thanks to some hard negotiation (we can only assume), Owen Coyle has finally persuaded David Moyes to ‘lend’ him Will Keane for a bit – until New Year’s Day, to be precise. Good job, too, because a goalscorer of any sort would be greatly appreciated at this juncture. Latics…
After Saturday’s exhibition of defective (and deflective?) marksmanship, I suggested a post-mortem might be on the way. We can avoid unnecessary waffle, however, by summing it all up in one paragraph, so here goes. At the risk of sounding like an actual football pundit (spits), one view of Latics Official’s handy highlights package (now in…
As has become customary, the club has announced its seemingly annual autumn/winter ticket offer ahead of a packed schedule to close out 2013. Latics fans can step right up to see the next three home matches for the low, low price of 100 Rup- er, £33. That’s, erm… about ten quid a game, I think….
Owen Coyle has revealed the club WILL attempt to push through a deal for a KEANE young addition to the squad in the next 24 hours. Without naming any names (cough), the Latics boss has admitted discussions are ‘moving in the right direction’ and hopes to have a loan move ‘sorted by close of play…
Nick Powell has returned to Wigan early after missing England U21’s Euro Championship Group Match with Finland due to injury. Sky Sports News reports that he will receive further treatment at the club ahead of this Saturday’s Championship showdown with Brighton. Whether this is a precautionary measure to protect the on-loan Manchester United starlet remains…
Club captain Gary Caldwell has revealed to Latics Official that he could return to reserve team football before the year is out. But the Scotland international warns he will only make himself available for selection when he is sure of his fitness. Caldwell underwent hip surgery in the summer, but is making significant progress thanks…
Owen Coyle’s quest to transform Wigan Athletic into a Manchester United B-team continues apace with news that 20-year old forward Will Keane is close to securing a loan deal. That’s if you believe the sources, and there is certainly no reason not to. Nope, none at all. There are now less than two weeks remaining…
