Wigan Athletic Have Eventually Won Promotion

[StevieEvansRedNWhiteArmy]

They really won't.

When it comes to levels of bellendedness, you take the fucking biscuit.

Don't fret about losing your crown any time soon.

It's hard to take that seriously with the bellendedness comment.

 

[Dazza]

Yeah i can't wait for another trip to the DW Stadium. We have a great record up there

 

[DippyDon]

And I thought we were disliked..... At least we have a couple of decent fans

 

[markwwfc1992]

Welcome Wigan, never minded it as an away day.

Really? Care to name em??

 

[tomoshb]

Don't fret, you'll go straight back down

 

[DippyDon]

Both of them, we only have 2 fans

 

[JoshBCFC]

Welcome Wigan!

 

[wiganmudhuts28]

thanks

 

[JJH]

I'll welcome them when they're mathematically promoted.

 

[Millerski]

can tell Sheffield Wednesday are having a decent season first time in how long ? get off that high horse it will all end in tears!

Welcome back, take care to remember the house rules tho and go upsetting the "massives"

Aye, it's worth noting we've got a fair few fans on here so you'd wanna tread carefully.

 

[Rammy]

Well they got there in the end, bless 'em.

 

[AnkleBiter]

Burton surely there too, need a point at relegated Donny to be sure but Walsall have a 6 point gap and 5 goals to make up.

Burton are up on Monday, if Walsall don't beat Fleetwood

Quite possibly the worst way to win promotion

 

[THE TERRACEMAN]

Hope we are in a position to be welcomed come Sunday afternoon.
If we make it we will be the smallest club to ever play in the championship, a real football fairy tale !

Do you not want to demand to be welcomed before being promoted, like that Wigan fan?

Hope you do it, as it'll be an amazing achievement! Will be a bit weird playing you in a league fixture though.

The fat lady might be warming her vocal chords but its not over till she starts singing !

Are Burton bigger than Yeovil? I remember them both in the Conference a few years ago.

Burton are smaller.

They were barely getting 2k up to a few weeks ago, and some big away crowds have helped bump up their gates recently.

It's all a bit bizarre because a lot of people who watch them are Derby fans who go when we are away. They've always been seen as our little brother, and have always had significantl coverage on Radio Derby which has promoted their cause, to the detriment of other local non league sides.

We have always drawn significant support from the town and local area so they do find it difficult to compete. And south of Burton it isn't too far to Villa or Wolves.

Finally, you do have the Clough factor too. A lot of Derby people would worship a turd if it was named Clough, so Nigel can do no wrong in some eyes. He might drag a few extra fans in for them, but I don't see anyone changing allegiance, more keep an eye on them, go from time to time when we don't have a game etc.

They'll probably average 5k max next season, assuming most clubs will sell out their away allocation as its a new (very shit) ground. The new MK!

The new MK, the worst insult you could give anyone.

Only in terms of it being a new ground for a lot of fans.

Everything else about Burton is to be admired. Slow, steady and sensible progress up the league pyramid.

Wigan have the best fans.

What's the obsession with middle age cockbandits videoing themselves singing shite songs and positing them on social media? Bristol Rovers have a fan who does the same about all of their players, fucking weirdo.

I'm sure if his dad ever saw that video he thinks "should have wiped on the curtains"
