I have followed wigan since 1944. There were no sch things as songs to show support, replica shirts would never have been considered. At cupties supporters might wear a cherry and white scarf ( knitted by a loved one) or if you were in the money a rosette. HAPPY DAYS

Oh the joy's of football at Shawfield on a wet Wednesday night , standing 60 yards from the pitch and with so many floodlights around the dug track you couldn't see a bloody thing , just as well really the Jam Tarts couldn't buy a win there in my time. Now it becomes clear why you opted for Ibrox Dave . Rolled up newspapers into McEwans Export tins remenber it well .That where the saying "never accept a warm open tin of beer at a football match"

Dave prefers proper khazis now; so he can hammer on the wall and sing to hide the fact he can't get the flow started
In fairness, at the DW the warm pish comes in pint pots; sadly you pay £3.20 for the privilege.
