WIGAN PLAYERS TO RE-PAY FANS



Wigan's players are to personally refund Latics fans who bought tickets at the DW Stadium for the 9-1 hammering at Tottenham on Sunday.


Wigan took a large following to White Hart Lane for the defeat, the second heaviest in Premier League history. Fans who travelled down to the Old Smoke like these travel club members (pictured right) are in line for a complete refund.
"We feel that as a group of players we badly let down our supporters yesterday," said Wigan captain Mario Melchiot via the official club website.


"There is not a lot else to say, just that as a group of professionals we were embarrassed by the way we performed, we feel it was below our standards and this refund is something we feel we owe to the fans," admitted Melchiot (left). 
When asked about the statement, Eddie Cuthbertson of the Wigan Athletic Supporters Club said " Not as bloody embarrassed as the fans are, I can tell thee. When the 9th goal went in I felt like crying, really bloody crying. I couldn't even eat the Barm cakes Our Margaret made for the trip home. So they should bloody refund us, every bloody Penny , and then some. I've got to work in foundry tomorrow and take a bloody great load of shit from folk. So yeah, they should give us money back".
