DW Stadium

The Youth Cup was played on Tuesday.

The Brick Community Stadium were York City with the visitors in the first round.

Hirdis Reki on 31 minutes, Tom Farshaw, 66, Lucas Roberts, 72, and Dan Gellart on 86 gave the Latix a 4-0 win and a move into the second round of the competition.

Let's hope the young lads can start doing the club pride.

There is a player connection between Boreham Wood and Wigan Athletic, and it is Tyler Golden, who was one of our academy players, left for Salford in 2020.

And also Ben Whitfield, the midfield player, they've just signed from Barrow on loan and he played against Latix last season in the second round for Barrow at the Brick Community Stadium.

Could definitely be a banana skin, this one.

And I would be surprised if TV don't pick it up because, like you said, Barry, they are scoring for Toffee and we can't score.

It's David Rock from Hertfordshire.

He's been officiated on the national list since 2019.

David Rock has refereed the Latics seven times in the past, four away days, and three times he's refereed us at the Brick Community Stadium.

Since we lost our first game with him in charge, which was away at Swindon in February 2021, we have remained undefeated in the following six games when he's been in charge.

They have, yeah.

The only thing that's missing for us is that our FA Cup run ended in the semi-final and it didn't end with a... um you know with an fa cup win now when i was looking things up i could be wrong wigan went down from the premier league the same season that redding did um that was when they were last in the premier league okay and i think they won the fa cup that year as well so i think the year that wigan went through and won all that stuff listeners can tell me i'm wrong or they can tell me they don't care about wigan's fortunes um but when i looked at this particular lineup i'm with 15,000 fans at the DW Stadium at the time.

Was that the Dave Whelan Stadium?

Yeah.

Well, I didn't set the prices, but I'm not sure it's a pint of champagne.

Are we better off actually playing football on Saturday or sitting outside the Brick Stadium with a Starbucks cup and a sign that says points, please, in case anybody happens to be walking past with some spare points? because we desperately need some.

Where's the goals coming from? Christian Sadie, get back in the team, bang a brace and make us all smile.

And with that, I'll say 2-0 Christian

I'd thought of sort of my one from Giants, which was the week after Robbo was sacked and...

if you said your low point was losing to Cass, Craig, as a Wigan fan, it was when we went over to the Brick Stadium and I honestly went thinking, I wonder how many, you know, I went because of the people I was with.

And what really encouraged me to go is it was going to be Tara's first game as a ref.

And I thought, oh, I'll get to see, you know, a bit of history, go with the people I was going with.

So, um, a good point really.

Um, and then most recently last week, the under-21s played at home at the Brick Community Stadium, beating a, what is a quite strong Huddersfield side, 2-1 at home with goals from Sims and Joe Gilbertson as well.

And I think Huddersfield were on some kind of crazy run, their under-21s team quite recently.

I think they've lost the game before, but before then I think they were something like 20 games unbeaten at the under-21 level.

You know, everything about Wakefield's performance, they destroyed Wigan.

at the Brick Community Stadium.

Warrington a little bit more reserved in terms of their statistics during the course of that game.

But Warrington, and this has been said quite a few times this year, Greg, Warrington are finding a way to win.

was going to say, wouldn't it have been a better idea to have the championship grand final and the women's grand final on the same day at the same ground or something like that? That could have worked out, couldn't it? It was Wigan and York Valkyrie,

weren't it? I think it was played at the Brick Community.

I think it was.

I think so.

And I'll say trickery so we don't get done for libel.

But I think you can make your own judgments on the amount of contact that was made with Mr. Williams.

And then on Saturday, there was just the display that took everyone, all Salford fans, I think, back to 2019 with Wakefield Trinity going and beating the Wigan Warriors 33-6 at the Brick Community Stadium.

And your mate, Ryelby, actually got quoted on X the other day saying, by, what's he called, the journalist, the Australian journalist? Davidson.
