In 2002-2003, Wigan Athletic-mad Martin Tarbuck went to every single game. And what a year to do itx2014;Wigan Athletic not only reached the quarter finals of the Worthington Cup, an unprecedented feat for the club, but also clinched promotion to Division One for the first time in its history. Along the way, he visited the true sporting amphitheatres of modern footballx2014;Boundary Park, Gresty Road, Ninian Parkx2014;and watched his team come out unscathed clutching three precious points. From Plymouth to Peterborough, Wigan's travelling band of reprobatesx2014;nicknamed the "Mudhuts"x2014;drank themselves silly and saluted their wonderful boys in blue. After ten months, 67 games, and several thousand miles in what was an historic season for Wigan Athletic, it seemed only natural to Martin Tarbuck to record it all for posterity's sake. As well as cataloguing the action from an unforgettable campaign,xA0;Let's Hang OnxA0;gives a flavor of the fun, passion, and pressure that fans of the club experienced along the way.
