Wigan Athletic Overview
Wigan Athletic F.C. Crest
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.
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.
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”.
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.
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.
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.
Fulham Football Club – A Brief Summary
Fulham F.C. Crest
Craven Cottage – Fulham FC Stadium
Fulham FC makes its home at the stadium known as Craven Cottage, one of the oldest English football grounds still in use in the present day. The original building was constructed in 1780 by the nobleman William Craven to serve as a residence and a hunting lodge. The building was lived in by a number of people over its lifetime, which was brought to a close by a fire in 1888. It was left abandoned after it burned, and was not used again for any purpose until Fulham’s early members scouted it out while searching for space in 1894. After two years of work clearing out overgrowth and re-purposing the site, it was made a viable football ground in 1896. A series of renovations and additions lead eventually to the modern incarnation of the field, a still small but well-maintained ground with segmented seating areas arranged in rectangle formation around the pitch. Craven Cottage holds 25,678 at top capacity.
The 1997-98 season was the beginning of a new start for Fulham, and the team steadily gained momentum until at last breaking into the elite ranks of the Premier League in the 2001-02 season, where it has remained since, and seeing its greatest success in the club’s history by finishing close to the top of the Premiership table in ’08-’09.
The Fulham team is the oldest professional football team in the British capital, and presently play in the English Premier League, finishing in 7th place in the ’08-’09 season.
They are also known as the Cottagers after their stadium, Craven Cottage.
The team won a number of amateur trophies in its early days, including the West London Amateur Cup in 1887. Fulham FC turned professional shortly thereafter, joining the second division of the old Southern League in 1898.
After success in the Southern League the team was admitted into the larger Football League in 1907, where they remained and enjoyed success until 1949, saw them promoted to first division, the top flight of English football at the time.
Fulham’s home colours are white and black, and the team crest is a simple black and white shield containing the angular abbreviation FFC.
Fulham F.C. Manager
Fulham’s current manager is Roy Hodgson, known for leading the Swiss national team to qualify in the 1994 world cup and 1996 European cup, and has previously coached such noteworthy teams as FC Copenhagen, Blackburn Rovers and Inter Milan. Hodgson became Fulham’s manager in December of 2007, and although the team absorbed a number of losses in the initial few months of his tenure a late rally toward the end of the season saw the club escape relegation, and go on to higher standing in the 08-09 season than they had ever previously achieved.
Fulham FC is an English football club based in the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in southwest London.
The club was founded as an amateur team in 1879 by members of the congregation of the Church of England on Star Road in West Kensington.
The Cottagers fared poorly in their first stint in the top flight, and their third season saw them in last and relegated back to second division, where they remained until promotion saw their most successful season yet, finishing 10th in the first division in 1959-60. The next few decades saw ups and downs, including a stint down in third division a few years later and then again in the early seasons after the creation of the new Premier League, which marked their lowpoint.
