It is sometimes good to see them give something back.

Wigan Athletic's players are to refund fans' tickets for Sunday's humiliating 9-1 reverse at Tottenham.

side endure the proverbial run-around in the capital.
Having had time to assess their performance in North London, Wigan's players have come to the decision to refund their travelling supporters.
Captain Mario Melchiot

so they are refunding both of them

That's actually kind of cool!

**Flerdourdyged** · 11-23-2009, 06:43 PM

I think it'll be harder for them to admit they are from Wigan in all honesty.

Wait, so they're refunding the tickets their fans had to pay because they lost? Perhaps this will set some sort of precedent.

**Flerdourdyged** · 11-23-2009, 06:45 PM

Well, it was the margin of the defeat more than anything.

Wigan just keep on giving.
Breaking news: In light of Paul Scharner's handball yesterday, Wigan Athletic have graciously offered to replay the fixture.
