Information on how to keep up to date with Latics via social media.
Wigan Athletic uses social media to communicate and engage with supporters about all aspects of the club from the latest breaking news and transfer news to the selling of match tickets and merchandise.
There are two main social channels that we use and no doubt you will be familiar with both Facebook and Twitter.

Our Facebook page you can find at www.facebook.com/wiganathletic.
It's not official until it's official
The official website should always be considered as the most comprehensive source of information and will remain the main portal where fans can find all the latest and up to date information. You will, if you follow or like accordingly, receive timely notifications via Facebook and Twitter as to new information and news via our social channels along with a link to the relevant page on the official website.
With the increased use of social media, third parties often claim to have news of signings, tickets prices and a whole host of other rumours. Please always treat non-cited information as unofficial and untrue or unconfirmed until such time as you see the confirmation on the official website or via one of the two social channels above.
Player use of Twitter
A number of Wigan Athletic players have personal Twitter accounts. We will endeavour to ensure that all of our players that do engage in its use carry the verification blue tick.
