In light of the release of the clubs financial status, our losses hitting a scary £7.2 million (did the sarcasm come across? I hope so). I know it isn't massive but if there if the club is making a loss, then that could put off potential future buyers. And that we do not want to do.

Now my question to you is, could the club do more?

On Sunday i looked at how the attendance figures although they were low, weren't bad for the club due to the people in the area. Yet could we get more people into the club watching every week. Its not just the price of their ticket but match day revenue they bring in.

The number for out match day revenue are poorer than poor. In a whole season, we take in what Manchester United hope to take in a busy weekend. That is where the gap is, and that is what we should be plugging.

So what can the club do?

Have your own ideas, comment below.

You voted and I hold my head high to be a Wigan follower. With over 60% of you keeping the faith saying we can stay up and fight our way out of the relegation zone. Its that kind of attitude from our fans that helped the last last year to lift their game on the pitch, and pull our four of our best performances last season.

This time we have to start early and get behind the lads now, so we can start to get points on the board and away from the dreaded bottom three of the Premier League.

While we had normal working week. The players of Wigan Athletic jetted off to sunny shores of Oman for a weeks winter training, and no doubt the chance of building some commercial front. With that in mind are we really a small club?

Over the years Wigan have always been, the underdog, the ones destined to fall and never been seen again. Yet we are here, now residing in the Premier League 80 years after the clubs birth. So how can we still be small, okay we don't have the history of the likes of Blackpool or Norwich. Yet surely we are on a par with them.

While most of us had to carry on with our normal lives, and if you lived in the UK with the weirdest weather in a long time. Our Wigan team were half way round the world in sunny Oman for a weeks winter training. Not too bad. It was to give the lads a chance to rest, sun up, and for the management team talk to players about getting those new contracts signed.

Whether the week away has helped. We will only know by this time next week.

This might be coming a little to early in the season, But the last two performances have all the feeling that Wigan are about to burst into another spell of life. The question is can we maintain that spell, and can we push up and out of the relegation zone to secure our 8th Premier League Season?

We have always forever been a write off when it come to surviving. But time after time after time we prove the pundits and everyone wrong, as we always have and always will do. So why should this year be any different. Or is it that people now expect us to do it, so we now won't survive.

Only time will tell, but what does everyone fell we will do?

The Scottish midfielder never really seemed to get the chance to show what he was capable of in the Wigan side. After an impressive few substitute displays last year, you felt it would only be time before the McArthur variety of James' at Wigan would be in the starting 11.

Yet January 2012. 18 months after originally signing for the club. The central midfielder has manged to get into the starting line up. And it looks like he has always been there and always will be.

This is a bit of a late one, but it has been a busy weekend and it was a good one as well. Wigan manged to win their first game of 2012 and there wasn't a better time to win it really. Against your local rivals, and fellow relegation fighters. The win lifts us only two points behind saftey.

Two more wins and everything is turned on its head.

Well a busy weekend, ended up being a very good weekend all round for me. And also for all Wigan fans. There maybe light at what has been a very long tunnel. In a display that I can only call phenomenal, Wigan showed that we can play well and win matches. And you have to ask why haven't we been doing it in the past few weeks.

Both slackers from last weekend (Gomez and Di Santo) looked somehow refreshed and energized in the game and were both unlucky not to have scored early on in the game.
