Wigan Athletic - what are they?

[leicesterarenotourivals]

Fucking hilarious considering I've followed Chelsea for the same amount of time that I've followed Vale you absolute plank.

But, still, why do you feel the need to support two clubs? Port Vale vs Chelsea in the cup, who are you supporting you plastic?

Oh. I see what you've done. You've actually been sad enough to search for me on Facebook and have gone through my OLD Facebook profile and checked all my details. Unlucky dick head. I liked that page because I saw something that pissed me off and I needed to like the page in order to be able to comment on posts. You reckon you're in your 30s yet you're acting like a desperate teenager who is trying ever so hard to be clever but you're embarrassing yourself with your weird stalking.

 

[leicesterarenotourivals]

No.

I know you like a good old 'who's the bigger club' debate, so, ere's one for you Dion lad.....

Stoke or Coventry, who's got the biggest dick & shags the fittest birds with it?

Pompey, Cov, Stoke all the same really. Not much it, could be argued either way. Unfashionable clubs who have good histories. Someone who supports Stoke was telling me that they can't even fill 24,000 home seats in the Prem yet they're calling for their owner to expand it to 35,000?!

I'd have Southampton down as our nearest like to like club. Years in div 1 defying the odds to stay up, smallish grounds with good atmospheres like the Dell and Highfield Road, both moved to a bigger stadium worked out for Saints better as they were still in the Prem when theirs got built. Both with one solitary FA cup. I remember their fans being absolutely class the day we got relegated from the Championship and they went up to the Prem, could have easily just celebrated and forgot about us but the first thing they did was come to over our fans and give us a standing ovation, will never forget that. SISU wanted to buy Southampton before us so they're all quite aware how different it could have been for them, class club with classy fans, happy for all their success they're having. A lot of mutual respect between the two clubs, shame our fortunes are so different now.

When I first went to watch Coventry we were playing Man United at a sell out Highfield Road while Stoke played in the third tier.

Times change mate. Look at our last league games - they beat Liverpool 6-1 to finish 8th(?) in the PL and we beat Crawley 2-1 to avoid relegation to L2.

Another lie! So, if you didn't the like the page before how would you have seen it? For example, I don't like Accrington Stanley on Facebook which would mean I wouldn't see what they posted.

You're a racist and a proud member of UKIP, scum. Fit the Chelsea stereotype well.

ffs we're this year's Bristol City/Rotherham and we're not even going to get promoted to back it all up

Are you fucking thick? Maybe because if one of my friends comments or likes a post on that page, it appears on my news feed?

Unbelievably stupid.

Excellent reading this,

On topic - Wigan are amongst the top 6 biggest clubs in the league behind, Bradford, Sheff U, Coventry et al.

There away support won't be anywhere near the worst in the league either.

As it stands, I'd probably agree with you.

However, it'd only take three or four years at this level to see them back to 5/6000 crowds at home.

we sold first allocation today for Coventry 1200..i expect 2k there sat..not bad for no fans is it

See, contrasting opinions already. Probably the hardest club to judge in football. Everything says they're tiny, but tiny clubs don't have a long run in the PL, win the FA Cup and play in Europe.

Wimbledon did! Where are they now!

Wigan's support is abysmal but their set-up and exposure is far better and bigger than most clubs in this league. Their ground and presumed funds are pretty impressive and there's a lot of people who follow their fortunes because they're an interesting case study. But they've got no fans. That's why it's difficult to place them.

I can place them quite easly. At the bottom of a toilet bowl along with Blackpool.
