Lisa Nandy MP was on hand to welcome home the Joseph’s Goal charity walkers as they completed their 54-mile trek from Bradford to Wigan in time for Saturday’s game – with Latics ace Sam Tickle also showing his support just before kick-off!

Our snappers Kelvin Lister-Stuttard and Bernard Platt captured all the best pics from the finishing line – both outside and inside the Brick Community Stadium. And the walkers once again proved to be a lucky omen – as they have in previous seasons - with Latics winning the game 2-0 to move three points clear of the drop zone in League One.
