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.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.......
I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

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

When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club.
We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens.
Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before.

20th: Wigan

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. |

Well we managed to play some pretty decent stuff on it at times, and if we could score goals we'd be laughing.

Quite a large number of the Wigan fans stayed (yeah yeah most were probs Man Utd fans anyway blah blah) which is why there were Man Utd fans on the steps and the walkway at the foot of the stand. Much safer to simply let them in the ground than them trying to force their way in (see Hillsbrough, Hampden Park, Heysel etc etc)
Anyway, back on topic - yes the pitch is fooked and as I posted on the other thread in two/three weeks it could/will more than likely be much worse.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

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. |

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 |

im not digging at latics.......but ive got my facts muddled as usual.
wasnt hampden, it was Ibrox.
celtic - rangers
celtic opened scoring in 89th minute.......many rangers fans began to leave, then rangers equalised in stoppage time.
the leaving fans then turned round to get back in , why some were then coming out,
66 people died.
its the passing of fans on a stairway that led to my initial post.
2nd jan 1971.
google in latics records and see if im right that i was at city watching non league latics in 3rd round of cup. |
