PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 76: The Owen Coyle Years
He might be gone, but Owen Coyle’s legacy lives on in the quality of players he brought to the club… it’s just a pity about the shorts/ping pong/Irn Bru/results (delete as appropriate, or not if you prefer). And while we’re on the subject we must not forget his inherent Vaudevillian comedy value which, while not […]

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. […]
