I would just like to say about Wigans crowds. When we­ were a non league team their was Man U Man City­ Liverpool and Everton plus Bolton had been in the top­ flight. All these clubs were withing 25 mins drive and­ not hundreds but it was quoted quite a while ago that­ aroud 6 thousand people in the bourough of Wigan pay to­ watch one if the five clubs that i have mentioned. When­ we got promoted into the league they did not decide to­ watch Wigan they just carried on supporting the old­ first division clubs. Put that with the rugbys­ supporters and you are talking about 35000 people who­ pay to watch ruby and football in Wigan. Someone­ mentioned Hull have football and rugby but how many big­ clubs are near them. I have supported Wigan Ath for 35­ years and if they go down under Marinez, then so be it­ but the team is not as good as it was monthsago and­ will get worse with the loss of Valencia and others. If­ we do go down i hope we dont get rid of Roberto and­ give him time.

I Hope Martinez Loses His First Few Games And Gets The­ Sack After Shafting Us Swans Fans What Was It He Said­ "i'll have to be forced out of this club"­ What A Hipocrite You Can F**k Off To Wigan, We'll­ Be There When It All Goes T*ts Up For You Sayin We Told­ You So!!!!! SWANSEA CITY TIL I DIE!!!!!!!!!

he will do great

thanks for the good times and the football we played­ but YOU LIED! cant believe you just left us ......maybe­ say we are in the s**t but us jacks will move onwards­ and upwards. many jacks will say a lot worse than i­ have! this has not gone down well at all in swansea but­ nothing is ever said in the media about that! we will­ be strong and be better again next season!

all i can­ say is thanks but not good luck. not a welcome man in­ the city with most people

To abigail henshall (comment 12). If Luton Town have­ more fans than Wigan supporters how come Wigan's­ average attendance was almost 18 thousand and­ Luton's was just over 6 thousand (which is well in­ excess of twice as much support). Maybe, you are right­ and Sky Sports news have got it wrong as its shown­ throughout the day 24/7. Wigan are not my team but I­ have enjoyed watching them play and I feel they have­ done really well to stay in the premiership.

I think he will do well, If you watch him on Revista La­ Liga you can see that he has an immense football­ knowledge and people skills. It is funny though cause­ he is also the guy that goes Guaappaaa

I hope I can be a well-educated man's someone­­ special. I have long legs, blond hairs and blue eyes.­­ Im kind, well-educated, humurous and cute. Reach me at­ ­ _____K issMillionaires C o M_____

and as 1982 quite rightly pointed out we are only a­ town, as most prem teams are from cities.but our ground­ only holds 25,000 max getting crowds going on for­ 20,000 aint bad.we may never be one of the top 4, but­ allthe wigan supporters are all very proud of what­ little wigan have achieved over the last 35 years

darren.halliwell if u read what he wrote u will notice­ the word TOWN not city

sorry bu I think you will find that Hull also have­ teams in both the premier football and rugby league­ competions

Martinez was a gifted player and has followed a­ natural progression into management. Anyone who saw­ Swansea play last year will see how his management­ style was expressed on the field. If Wigan give him the­ chance he will deliver for them also! Good luck­ Roberto and thanks for all you have done for the Swans.­ You WILL be sorely missed.

Mixed reviews, but (given time) Martinez has 'fast­ tracked' himself into a Premiership management­ position. Do as well as he has done with The Swans­ (upper mid-table finish would be comfy), and who knows­ ?!

Good luck. Nice guy.

TUBE!!

Swansea caught my eye last season and played some of­ the best championship football I've seen for a­ while. Just hope Wigan give this guy some time if­ things don't go well to start with.

to comment 12 what the hell has the size of the crowd­ got to do with it, they are still the 11th best team in­ the whole of the prem. so unless you support a higher­ up team which i very much doubt i am sure he would not­ have won anything in the fizzy pop league.and it now­ gives him a chance to pit his wits against top teams­ and qualify for the europa cup.

Sorry Swan City, but I am sure you will make it with­ Gary.

Former Wsansea Colleger.

If we are such a tiny tiny tiny team why have been in­ the premiership for four years now and still going­ strong.
I agree the fan base is not big but it is­ growing and seeing as Wigan hasn't been playing­ football that long I think we have done remarkably well­ seeing as we are traditionally a Rugby Town.
Here's­ a fact about Wigan it is the only TOWN to have a rugby­ and football team in the top divisions.

All the best Martinez

shame for the swans very good man best of luck to him
