It really did, I turned it off after Wigan scored their second, turned it back on after I saw they were a man down. There was a good 20 minute spell at the start of the second half when they absolutely dominated.

The competition has already guaranteed £43500 for Chorley. A massive help at this time

Great day for Chorley, but Christ Wigan keep hitting new lows.,

At the start of July they were the form team in the Championship. Now bottom 3 in League 1, a whole team sold and beaten at home by a club bottom of National North.

My mum was from Chorley so we used to visit quite a bit back in the day. We were there one Saturday and the Magpies were playing a league club (I think) in the FA Cup. My older cousin took me along to the match. I was only a nipper, probably the first time I'd been to a match apart from Ewood. We walked to the ground and I said 'Where do we get in?' My cousin proceeded to pick me up, step over a low hedge, and said 'We're in.'

True story - I remember going on Victory Park with a couple of mates when I was about 12 or 13. We'd watched the first half at one end & were making our way to the club house end for the 2nd half & to get a pie.

As I checked my pocket as we got near the kiosk I realised I'd lost the quid (pound note back then!) my mum had given me for a pie. Pissed off I decided to retrace my steps to see if I could find it.

Got to around the halfway line & saw a fiver on the floor! We all got a pie! ?

Both the BBC and The Times are calling them ‘Chorley Town’

Well at least Wigan's takeover is getting closer so they have some positive news. Better than their current situation anyway. Derby's takeover of course has progressed so much quicker but that's hardly a surprise is it?

Wouldn't have minded Wigan going out of business though. Would be what that Man United loving, FUP backing hypocrite Whelan deserves. Same for Gibson didn't call for FUP when he was signing Juninho and Ravanelli did he?

Whelan doesn’t own them . So the whole town of Wigan doesn’t deserve a football team because one bloke who used to play for rovers backed united in an off field issue . I genuinely admire your hate for united . It gives me energy reading your bile towards them but it seems very harsh to deny thousands of Wigan fans a club because of a Dave whelan quote in the metro ?

So what if he no longer owns them. Maybe "out of business" is a bit harsh but FUP has destroyed ambition for so many clubs. It's not an "off field issue" in the slightest. Not to mention Whelan's a damn hypocrite. Much worse than Cook who was an average Championship/L1 level player who just happened to play for Boring Name FC when they were nowhere near Rovers level on or off the field.

Also I didn't take too kindly to Whelan saying he didn't want to "saddle his family with Wigan" implying that's what Jack did with Rovers. Infact that angered me even more than FUP which is some accomplishment.

Think of Whelan next time Rovers get a transfer ban. Not because he broke his leg once. I'm surprised he does not get more criticism here since he hired not one but TWO people who GASP played (plus managed in Coyle's case) for Boring Name FC as Wigan manager. What a traitor!

I'm glad you admire my contempt for Man United. Anger can indeed be energising in some circumstances! Which has it's positives and negatives.

I agree with what your saying just not the Wigan should go out of business bit

Chorley unlucky. 1-0 down after conceding in 2nd minute but have hit the post twice with 2 excellent efforts.

2nd half about to start. Come on Chorley!

[windymiller7]

Chorley level now. 1-1

[windymiller7]

Now in front. 1-2. Get in!

[Hoochie Bloochie Mama]

Chorley's keeper used to be a Rover. 

[Admiral Nelsen]

Chorley had a penalty saved which would have made it 3-1! Really hope they hang on.

Only following it on twitter, but as far as I can tell they're both still on the bench.

[windymiller7]

Tomlinson just come on as sub

[windymiller7]

Henley now on in stoppage time

[windymiller7]

FT. 1-2. Well done Chorley & Well deserved.

Rovers in 3rd round?

[perthblue02]

Well deserved by  Chorley , hit the woodwork a couple of times in the first half and played well all game. First time in the third round, Rovers away next round
