Would worry to much about Lawrenson..the guy doesnt know what day it is

hes the only man who could p!ss off the pope

Oh I don't know. I reckon that bloke who pulled him down at that rally thing might have peed him off.

I meant 500 but when they play liverpool and man united, its more like that figure.

When United won the league there a couple of years back the West Stand was all full of United fans, it was predominantly red, I couldn't get out of the ground* cos of the United fans blocking up the stairway. The South Stand was 40%-50% United as well. There really was 10-15K of United fans in the ground that day.

I don't know why Latics don't just switch every tie where they are at home and play it away like the small clubs do in the FA Cup, cos that way they may make more money.


*went as a neutral!!!!!!

The Man Utd fans were let in the West Stand with 10 to go so that they weren't outside and could enjoy the presentation.

Still, don't let facts get in the way of your hatred for all things Wigan Athletic


The bold bit being the part everyone forgets.

Yes, because we are all intensely proud of all the Wigan born lads in the Latics (or any other football) team !!!!

Sorry Conroy the only thing that relates to Wigan about this team is the incidental badge. How can you relate some a bunch of blokes on a gazillion pound a year that doesnt live in the town, most have never heard of the town, dont spend any money in the town, dont give jack about the club,fans or town.

eh !!!!!!!!!

so we had latics fans going off , and united fans coming on?
havnt the stadium health and safety heard of the Hamden park tragedy? or were they appeasing Fergy?

Sad, but I couldnt agree more with you, they be off in the flash if someone offers a pound more in their fat wage packets, Mercenories..the lot

we always seem to get the blame www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... Wigan.html

what has "forcing their way" in got to do with Hampden?

i seriously doubt they could have forced their way in anyway.

Hamden bears no comparison to Hilsbrough, or Heyshel.

you do know what happened there??
btw iirc i heard the news on the coach radio coming back from watching Man City beat Latics in cup 1-0.

and if i might get back to topic........its the ers that cut it up over winter, long before we get playing on it.

I haven't a clue but it obviously bears no significance whatsoever to what happened that day when it was safer to let the Utd fans outside enjoy the day rather than them try to get through the exit gates and possibly cause an incident (you brought it up so I presumed it would be similar to that - then again maybe it was just another dig at Latics/the stadium/dave whelan etc etc) or indeed why the pitch is f*cked which is what this thread is about. If I do decide to know what happened at Hampden then i'll look into it (having just tried to on google I found nothing so still don't know.



Quite correct as the groundsman himself has stated on numerous occasions
