PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 155: Beach Hill
Experts claim February is the most depressing month of the year, at least for a certain sports surface outside Wigan town centre.

All Gone Latics Media Podcast 01 – Rotten pitches and rotten teeth
It’s not the PWU Podcast. But it is a Latics podcast, and it is long and meandering. This pilot episode was recorded on Tuesday night, before it was announced that the DW surface would be relaid ahead of the Oldham game. In Football Land, everything is past its sell by date before it has even […]

Wigan U18 1-3 Man City U18 (AET): Surprisingly posh
Let’s be brutally honest – Ben Watson probably means nothing to Manchester City fans. Yeah, some might have suffered mildly bruised egos when Sir Benjamin leapt to defeat Joe Hart from 6 yards, but such things quickly became lost among title challenges, superstar signings and breathtaking European nights. …All of which serves to further magnify […]
