From "both" Wigan Athletic fans for the past 40 years.

One day you'll come out of your office in London and realise that football exists outside the top six big-spending teams in England.

It's easy to insult Wigan's loyal fans after a horrible result. Would you dare to do the same for one of your bigger teams?

15,000 wiganers will still turn out on Saturday to watch their team, but you won't mention that.

I remember watching Wigan play a friendly at Queen of the South in the 80s. Four of us turned up!

If you want to have a go, please look at how far we have come, before making your silly comments.

Hopefully your 2 readers will have had a good laugh at the 500 fans who travelled to watch Wigan play on Sunday. (200 Fulham fans at Wigan the previous weekend).

I shouldn't really complain because I realise you obviously have never stood on a terrace, been in a real football pub, mixed with football fans, supported your local team.... need I go on?

Please read Oliver Holt for a more reasoned view on football.

My email address is pies2604@hotmail.com but I dout you will have the decency to reply.
