Burnley is pretty much our town centre with Broad St area surrounding it, maybe with a bit of Parks thrown in. Not pretty. The football must be a godsend for the local populus.

I meant as places for rob (and the Burnley populous) to go out in instead of Burnley, rather than alternative teams to support
I get you now, my point stands, as I never realised if you head east from Burnley then Bradford's where you'd get to (well ish). Never associated the two that close to each other, but they are.

By just reaching the final, they were going to be playing in Europe anyway...

I would put this in the what's right with football thread. Unfancied, squad that cost a fraction of Man City's, proving that sometimes it's not just about money. Well done Wigan.

46 games, the domestic cups (inc. Charity Shield) and the Europa League format.
Long ol' season ahead for Wigan if they go down.

Disagree with that, I'm the first to have a go at ITV but they got it right today. The Subbuteo cup montage was something special. The Whealan Cup final Leg Break story was covered well and they showed plenty of the past cup finals when the cup was more important to the nation. Some great post match captures and best final i've seen since Liverpool v West Ham

You say that but, without Whelan's money, Wigan would be parading little more than the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. It's a great achievement regardless because Wigan are among a collective of traditionally smaller teams who have thrived in the last decade yet have actually won a big trophy. Swansea City: League Cup Winners - 2013 Wigan Athletic: FA Cup Winners - 2013Here's a pointless and irrelevant stat: In 1996/97 - Wigan, Swansea, Fulham, Cardiff and Hull were all in Division 4 (Brighton were too only surviving on goal difference). Swindon Town will get a committed, long-haul millionaire one day... Right?

I know Whelan's bankrolled the club. But you can't compare his investment with the money pumped into the top end of the premiership. I long for the day some Swindon millionaire decides to spunk all his money on us.

I think you can to an extent it's just different levels of money. There's a lot of people out there who get sanctimonious about big-time bankrolling. Personally, I also long for the day a person does that to Swindon.

If someone wants to piss away millions on a football club I'm all for it, especially as at least some of the money will filter down the leagues through transfer fees. But only if they are giving the club the money as a gift. Unfortunately pretty much all the money put in to clubs is in the form of loans and that includes Wigan. If they don't want the money back, why give it as loans?
