Magister Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 We must have played 1000 games in this league one now....500 at home. That is 750 hours of watching Latics at home ....that is 20 full working weeks! Are we any better or any worse as a team or any further forward or any further back as a club than when we played the first of those games? we play Shrewsbury today...is it just me or do we seem to have just played Shrewsbury or Walsall or just be about to play Shrewsbury or Walsall for the last 20 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Not quite a 1000 but well on the way 20 full seasons 20 x 46 = 920 inc this season today is our 928th consecutive league game in the third tier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few sums indicates that the 2000 includes games played at this level 40+ years ago etc. However, 20 x 46 = 920 In terms of where we are relatively to when we joined this league 20 years ago, we are in a worse position, as we were decent odds for promotion as opposed to decent odds for the drop, and we were in the playoff spots up until Feb. Unfortunately for us parachute payments didn't exist, and we were owned by JW Lees who were not investing enough money into the club despite making a very tidy profit in the years before.

We are the ultimate Groundhog club. Perhaps today may feel different when we beat the top of the league not just any old Shrewsbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are much worse than the team who had just come down from the division above. And miles further back as a club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
