Wigan Athletic Football Club Info

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 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.

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 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”.

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.

Arsenal Football Club General Info

Few football clubs in the world can match the history of Arsenal, the Premier League team based in Highbury, North London. Possessing one of the largest fan bases in the world, the club appeals as much to people all over the world as it does to those from the areas around Emirates Stadium, no doubt due in large part to the appeal of all-time leading goalscorer Thierry Henry, an Arsenal fixture from 1999 to 2007.

Arsen Wenger – Arsenal F.C. Manager.

In the illustrious history of the Red Army, no manager has coached longer or won more matches than Arsene Wenger, the French national who has been at the head of the club since 1996. A move initially met with trepidation by the local media, Wenger had to overcome the stigma of being the club’s first foreign-born manager. An attacking manager known as a purist, Wenger quickly earned the respect of former critical fans and media in his second season when he lead the Gunners to the Premier League title and won the FA Cup. A second Double followed in 2001-2002, eventually leading to one of the best seasons in the history of elite football in Europe: an undefeated season in 2003-2004, achieved only two other times at the highest level of European football. In September of 2007, Wenger signed a three-year contract to remain Arsenal’s manager.

Under the guidance of Herbert Chapman and, later, Joe Shaw and George Allison, Arsenal won five League championships and two FA cups during the 1930s, the first period of dominance for the club. However, Arsenal descended into mediocrity for several decades until a brief resurgence at the end of the 1960s that included the first European trophy in club history, the UEFA Fairs Cup in 1970.

Arsenal Stadium

For much of the club’s history, Arsenal played at Arsenal Stadium (also known as Highbury). However, reduced capacity there limited earnings and the club embarked upon designing and building a new stadium, completed in 2006. Called Emirates Stadium for its corporate sponsor, the airline company of the same name, it seats over 60,000 people, making it the fifth-largest football stadium in the United Kingdom. However, many Gooners, upset over their club selling the corporate naming rights, refer to the stadium as Ashburton Grove. A roof covers the four tiers of the stadium, but leaves the pitch exposed to the elements. Known as one of the best playing surfaces in the world, the stadium also features two giant screens to allow supporters to follow the action on the pitch.

Former player George Graham resurrected Arsenal once again after taking over in 1986, winning six titles in eight years. Using his own brand of strict discipline, Graham adjusted on the fly from an attack-oriented manager into one relying more on defensive sets, tactics that led to the first FA Cup and League Cup double in 1992-1993. Graham lost his job after accepting an illegal payment from a Norwegian agent who had handled the transfer of two players to Arsenal in 1992.

Originally based on the southeast side of London, the club now known by supporters as the Red Army began modestly as Dial Square, formed by workers at the Royal Arsenal in 1886. Five years later the team began professional play before joining the Football League in 1893. Known since 1891 as Woolwich Arsenal, the club made the First Division in 1904 before becoming bankrupt in 1910 and moving several years later to the current location in North London, dropping the Woolwich in the process.
