We’ve got big plans for Season 2024-25 to bring #wafc history alive for supporters.
To help with our plans we are looking for donations of replica Wigan shirts from the past 25 years.
Come and see us in the @WiganAthSC bar before any home game or contact us. #wafc

Did you know that this statue of a bull was presented to #wafc at our first ever league game in 1978 v Hereford United. A bull was the symbol of Hereford and they often paraded a bull around the pitch pre-‘match. They even got special permission to take a bull to Wembley in 2016!

One unusual item in the #wafc trophy cabinet is this. It is a commemorative trowel!
Presented to the club during the building of the Phoenix Stand at Springfield Park in 1954!

[Wigan Athletic Heritage Project @WAFCHeritage]

One of our jobs tonight has been to identify and itemise the artefacts in the trophy cabinet.
From League 2 trophy, to FA Cup, there are priceless items from our history.

Tonight we held our monthly Heritage Project meeting where our constitution was ratified, and Chairman Jeff Rourke sworn in.
Lots of hard work has already begun, but there are big plans to engage all fans with the history of our club.

Yesterday whilst rooting through some kindly donated memorabilia we found this….
A programme from 1949 with an article from @WiganAthSC about plans to raise £1000 to build a frontage to the Springfield Park stadium! #wafc

How ironic

[Wigan News @WiganNews1]

NEWS: A survey of Wigan motorists has found that 100% of drivers slow down for the speed camera at Wigan Pier despite it not taking a single picture since Ince was posh.

[Daniel Freund @daniel_freund]

P̵u̵t̵i̵n̵ Orban propaganda at its most extreme:

Hungarian "news" station HirTV claims Ukrainians were celebrating the destruction of Crimea bridge in a pub.

Except, it's not Hungarians but fans of Wigan Athletic - chanting "Will Griggs on fire" (sound on).

What a disgrace!

@AbramLatic @PKendrickWIG Especially in a world final

[wiganworld @wiganworld]

Have your wits about you driving down Poolstock Lane after @WiganCouncil road improvements. 6 blowouts in first hour of opening!

[John Patrick Heeley @J_P_Heeley]

@SteveCaldwell09 @LaticsOfficial Many different opinions on how ticket sales should be prioritised. I know that I haven't been for the past couple of seasons but, as a fan who has been to more away games than I care to count over the years, my opinion is you'll never please everyone. Tickets sold out. Move on.

@Scottyfair @Ryanair I waited far longer than that with no response at all. You must be charmed 😉

[John Patrick Heeley @J_P_Heeley]

@Scottyfair @Ryanair I get that but just try and get in touch with them to cancel the check-in. Not a chance in hell.
