Blackpool vs Wigan Big Game Preview

Latics travel to Blackpool looking for three points which could see them return to the top of League One. We were disappointing in mid-week performance-wise, however I think the majority were happy with a point in the end. If we can return with maximum points tomorrow, I think it’s safe to say it’ll of been a very successful week.

To the 2100 travelling tomorrow: Enjoy your day, drink plenty of beer and most importantly bring back three points.
