    How good a DVD would it be if you could combine all those magic moments
    We've come a lot further than a DVD, it would have to be a blu ray[/quote]

    Silly me - perhaps after our FA Cup defence they might decide on a blu ray box set

    Very emotional post. I was introduced to Wigan Athletic while working in the mining industry in the area in the late '70s. Tried Man U, Everton etc. but was sold on Wigan after my first trip to Springfield Park. I returned home to Scotland a couple of years later, but as I still had a pal in the area was able to get down to a few games during he 1980s. Fell away from it a wee bit (although I continued to follow progress). Have taken a keener interest again since promotion to the PL. In the last few years I have been getting down to a few games a season. My son has now started attending the odd game. Great town, nice people and a fantastic football club. C'mon Latics!!! Good luck to the Warriors also.

    Cheers- as a fellow Scot glad to hear of your interest/ support of Wigan. As you say once you get the bug of supporting Latics you get sold. A great feeling of a litle club keeping up with the big clubs & there bigger s
