Ticket news: Three for £33 & Wigan v Bolton (H)
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. […]

Attendance vs Fulham: Official club statement
Wigan have released an official statement thanking Latics’ fans for their support during Sunday’s match against Fulham. This comes less than 24 hours after the BBC’s slightly dubious editing on their Match of the Day 2 programme, which some claim portrayed Wigan Athletic fans in a negative light. It is unknown whether the two are […]
