Birth of WAFCTSC (Wigan Athletic FC Travel And Supporters' Club): From Question to Reality

After the simple yet powerful question, "Would it be possible to use Eavesway coaches to travel to away fixtures?" a spark was ignited among our passionate fanbase. What started as a question evolved into a collective vision, and from that vision emerged our very own Wigan Athletic FC Travel and Supporters' club (WAFCTSC).

Conversations turned into actions, meetings were held, plans were drawn, and the groundwork was laid. We met up with Wigan Athletic FC officers who welcomed the prospect of there being another supporters club offering an alternative travel plan to away matches. An approach was made to Eavesway Travel (locally owned and highly rated travel company) to supply executive coaches.

We held a successful inaugural public meeting in February 2023 - read the Wigan Today report here - to gauge the interest in forming this new club. WAFCTSC is now an officially constituted club with formally recognised banking arrangements. We have been granted official authorisation to use the Club’s badge and crest. We have also been given permission to use the Whelan Bar as our home base. Join us for pre-match gatherings before every home game.

We are also a recognised and active member of The Football Supporters Association (FSA).

We offer executive quality travel to away games at affordable prices - including refreshments.
