Wigan Athletic Football Club Summary

Today, Wigan consists of top notch players. Led by current club Captain, Mario Melchiot, the squad has seen much success in the League. The team has been ridiculed in the past for poor performances, and dismal gate numbers, however, their matches against Arsenal and Everton last season, propelled them to new heights. Wigan, though still considered a new team, have impressed countless fans and supporters with their never quit attitude. Now entrenched in the current season, Wigan maybe the wild card team that can pull off the impossible. Their classic victory against Hull City last season, as well as the combination of Scott Sinclair (on loan from Chelsea), Jason Scotland, and Jamaica’s Marlon King, have Wigan off to a tremendous start. The fans will watch and continue to admire Wigan’s ‘underdog’ status, and under the management of Roberto Martinez, more success is predicted for the team this season.

Wigan Athletic Stadium

DW Stadium, formerly known as JJB Stadium, is a dual-purpose sports facility located within the Robin Park complex in Wigan. It is named after the stadium’s main sponsor, DW Sports Fitness, and was built in 1999. The venue opened its doors that same year, and currently hosts Wigan Athletic and the Wigan Warriors. It also facilitated Orrell RUFC of National Division Two, but after minimal success, the rugby team moved out in 2003. The stadium has a grass pitch and seats 24,826 spectators. Attendance figures have been steady since the stadium’s inception, and also hosts minor musical acts.

Based in Wigan, Greater Manchester, England, Wigan Athletic FC currently play in the Premier League. They were promoted from the Football League in 2005, and have remained in the top flight Premiership to date. They are the newest club in the League, and were formed around 1932. Their home ground is based at DW Stadium, and played at Springfield Park for over six decades. Wigan goes by the club nickname, “Latics”.

Paul Jewell, former player, took over the reigns for the club in 2001. The squad would win the Division 2 Championship in the ‘02-’03 season. Wigan would enter the Premier League 2 years later, coming in Runners Up in the Coca Cola Championship, behind Sunderland. Wigan Athletic would go toe to toe with several teams in the Premier League. From Manchester United and Chelsea, to Fulham and Charlton Athletic, Wigan put on dazzling performances, no matter the outcome.

Wigan Athletic Manager

Roberto Martinez accepted managerial duties in June of this year. He also received an offer from Celtic, but chose to sign a three-year contract with Wigan, worth 1.5 million pounds. Martinez, the former manager of Swansea City, brings nearly two decades of football experience to the Latics. As a former player for Wigan, the Spanish national played midfield with precision and tact. He scored an impressive 23 goals during his playing career with Wigan, and won the Football League Third Division championship in the ‘96-’97 season. Roberto hopes to avoid relegation and contribute to the recent upturn Wigan is experiencing.

In 1995, Wigan would see the beginning of its rise to the top echelon of English club play. Led by new owner, David Whelan, it would take the club a decade to enter the Premiership. Wigan, en route to their goal of entering top flight football, would capture the Division 3 Title in ‘97. They would also reach the Divisional Playoffs in ‘99, but would lose to neighboring Manchester City. Wigan would face more upper management changes at the start of the new century, however, an improvement in their performances was clearly visible.

Wigan co-founded the Northern Premier League in ‘68. After many attempts to join the Scottish League Second Division, Wigan were elected to join the Football League four years later. Although Wigan would come up short on many occasions, and would be scrambling in the 4th Division, they managed to capture the Freight Rover Trophy in 1985. Wigan would compete against some sturdy competition in The Bolton Wanderers. By the mid ’90’s, Wigan would establish themselves as a steady and secure outfit.

Wigan co-hold a record with Boston United and Hereford United. This record, scoring a huge victory over a league club by a non league club, still stands today. During the early to mid part of the clubs existence, they moved within several leagues. From the Football League to the Cheshire County League, Wigan struggled to find its place in competitive club play. The Wigan Warriors, a Rugby Team, seemed to dominate the scene at the time, leaving Wigan Athletic at a loss for establishment. This would change, however, in the late ’60’s and early ’70’s.

Man Utd have won 18 domestic league championships, tying them with Liverpool for the most. They have also won many other honours, both domestically and internationally.

Manchester United Stadium

The home of the Red Devil’s is Old Trafford, and has been since 1910. The stadium has also been given the name, "The Theatre of Dreams," by Manchester United’s famous manager Sir Matt Busby. The stadium itself has had an intriguing history. At the beginning of World Ward II, it was used as a depot for the army, and football competition continued there just as before. Then, in December 1940, it was damaged by a German air raid. Play was temporary moved until the following March, when only a few days later it was bombed a second time, rendering it useless. Man U did not play anymore games at Old Trafford until it was repaired in 1949.

After years of rebuilding and renovation, Old Trafford has become biggest stadium of any English Premier League team, with 76,212 seats. Old Trafford is a 5-star rated, "Elite" UEFA stadium, meaning it meets the high standards of UEFA to hold the Champions League Final.

From there he quickly moved up the ranks, joining more prestigious clubs. By 1985 he was chosen as manager of Scotland’s national team.

Fergie’s stint as Scotland’s manager was short lived, as he took over the managerial duties at Manchester United in 1986. It was a slow start, but soon, with Sir Alex at the helm, Man U began to flourish. During his career at Manchester Utd., Ferguson has won the English Premier League eleven times, the League Cup three times, the FA Cup five times, the Champions League twice, and many other various championship wins. In the 1998-99, under his leadership, the Red Devils won the Treble, winning the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League, a feat never accomplished by any other club. He was knighted in 1999 and inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002.
