Some folks made a lot of money from trying to destroy our club.

But with everything else going on, I doubt anything will happen.
Apart from the heart being ripped out of Wigan that is.
that's the real bitch of it all...never been to England, but want to go on a football matchday...we have our rabid fanbases in the US, mostly in American football but I just don't think that it's comparable to what you see in English football where your clubs (especially of your mid-sized to small areas) seem really tied to your local community...at least that's my observation from what they broadcast to us over here with the EPL...
don't know what the corollary would be here in the states...maybe minor league baseball (probably a stretch there since fanbases aren't rabid, but the team is intertwined within a lot of small communities)...maybe bigtime college football where you have absolutely insane fanbases and the college is a big part of the local community...
