Wigan Athletic Football Club is an English professional football club based in Wigan (my home town) , Greater Manchester, England, that competes in the EFL League One, the third tier of English football, following relegation from the 2022–23 EFL Championship.
Founded in 1932, they have played at the 25,138-seat DW Stadium since 1999, before which they played at Springfield Park. Their colours are blue and white stripes, although all-blue shirts have been common throughout the club's history. The club regards Bolton Wanderers as its primary derby rival. Wigan competed in the Cheshire County League for the first nine seasons of the club's existence, winning three league titles before being placed in the Lancashire Combination in 1947. It spent 14 years in the Lancashire Combination and secured four league titles during this time. It spent 1961 to 1968 back in the Cheshire County League, picking up another league title in 1964–65. Invited to become a founder member of the Northern Premier League in 1968, the club won two league titles and also reached the FA Trophy final in 1973. Wigan was elected to the Football League in 1978 and was promoted out of the Fourth Division in 1981–82. The club won the Associate Members' Cup in 1985, but was relegated back into the fourth tier in 1993. It won the Third Division title in 1996–97, the Football League Trophy in 1999 and the Second Division in 2002–03, before securing promotion out of the Championship in 2004–05.

Season Review 2023-2024:
What a season! We started off relaly well playing a 442 wing play style with a target man and poacher linking up well. Injuires go in the way towards and over Dec/Jan so we changed formation to adapt. Had a slight hiccup oin results but then the second half of the season we dominated!
Amazing achievement, expecially as we had -8 points at the start of the season.
Need to recruit in the summer as few loan players will be leaving and few won't re sign expirinig contracts.
Premier League return for the tics incoming.......
