Wigan isn't a large town. The size of the borough is meaningless. Places like Leigh and Ashton in Makerfield are distinct from Wigan.

Imagine what a club like CCFC could have achieved with
Dave Whelan's cash.

Sheffield United
Coventry
Millwall
Bradford
Barnsley
are all bigger. Then there are a few clubs who could be considered bigger depending on what you look at.
15-20 years ago you would be one of the smaller clubs in the league.
You average 1700 in 1995.

Oh, you and your 4" prick.
We took that to Burton on Sunday live on Sky... big deal.
LOL Should just be coming out of school now, I hope its been a fun day playing in the sand pit.
Parachute payments lad, that is why where you are, after all you got fully found out at our place on the opening day.
Looking forward to a bigger club coming the ricoh next season in Bolton.
Big day out? Wigan? the delusion from you is beyond belief, anyone who thinks Wigan is a big day out needs to go and see a nurse.

Anyone go to the cup replay in 1991 at their old ground - Springfield Park. It rained we won 1-0 and there was a grassy bank where loads of our fans slid over on celebrating our goal. Ny only other significant Wigan memory is Scott Shearer throwing the ball in the net at Highfield Road for a late equalizer.
Fairly indifferent to them, have been well managed to get to and stay in the PL for so long. not sure they will find it as easy to get to the PL the next time. Had them Sheff Utd and P'Boro as promotion favourites even when we were top of the league, expected Burton Gills Walsall to fade away.

I'm guessing this Wigan fan is probably between the ages 15-21, he has probably never known Wigan as a club before Whelan bankrolled there rise to the premier league and thus thinks they are a massive club. Enjoy it whilst you can as you've got the next 40 years of traveling to Halifax and Southport.

Don't knock being bankrolled, imagine the season we could have3 had had we spent £1m on transfer fees as well as securing a few of the loans and freebies that we got. £1m is hardly being bankrolled but makes a huge difference in this league. My fear is that the nature of our season it will severely impact on our ST sales and the vicious circle continues.

When I was referring to being bankrolled, I mean their initial rise through the divisions in the early 00's
The only reason they have cash now is they are still receiving parachute payments from there premier league relegation season, once that kitty is blown they will sink back down the divisions.

They are far more likely to be successful than us.
Dave Whelan may have been a Neanderthal idiot but he has run the club very well.
The money has been invested solidly,
Until recently he also always had a knack of recruiting managers when they were at an upward curve and it served well. They've made a couple of poor choices recently but in general have done well.
They'll do well enough next season.

Not sure they will, don't think Caldwell will be up to the task in the championship.
He's surprised me, thought they would fail with him being a novice.
Maybe he learned well from his peers.

Seem to remember the same thing being said of Blackburn when Jack Walker
passed on, but they have just found there natural level again.
