Wigan Athletic FC

An unusual afternoon at the DW Stadium on Sunday as the home side suffered a 4-1 defeat but celebrated long and hard after the final whistle while their visitors were in equally high spirits in the glorious May sunshine.
For Barnsley that was because they had secured a play-off place to go with their Johnstone’s Paint Trophy triumph from earlier in the season and for hosts Wigan Athletic it was because they lifted the League One championship trophy after securing an immediate return to the Championship.
18,730 watched the game on Sunday and Wigan will be looking for a number of similar attendances next season after announcing a very attractive deal for season tickets.
The club say prices are the lowest ever offered to Latics supporters at the DW Stadium with adult renewals costing £179 and new purchasers who buy before the end of June paying £199 (£8.65 per match) for a season of Championship football.
For every adult season card purchased in the Family (South) stand there will also be a free Under-16 ticket also issued.
Chairman David Sharpe told the official club website: "We wanted to make a real impact with these prices to reward the loyalty of our supporters"
"We made the guarantee of no more than £199 last season to all season card holders who purchased their ticket before this season and we are delighted to be able to reduce that by a further £20 to £179 for what is the cheapest price ever offered by Latics at the stadium.
"With new season card holders paying just £199 up to June 30 or £229 after that date, we feel these are prices which will attract the supporters to the DW Stadium because this is by far the best value way to be watching Latics."
