I was wondering to myself how many seasons Wigan spent in the top flight and was quite surprised it was 8 seasons.
We spent 40 consecutive seasons in the top flight from 1894-1934 and that’s the last time we spent over 8 seasons there. Is it too much for a club like us to spend more than just a few seasons in the top flight? We spent 4 seasons up there under Bassett, 5 seasons in the currie era, 7 seasons in the 60’s our next best spell.
I don’t expect us to win the league but a bit of longevity in the top flight puts us in a decent position to maybe win a cup and with the money involved it also gives us scope to upgrade facilities.
