49 ground, fan and match photos from the Football League One match between Wigan Athletic and Crawley Town on 24 August 2024.

I'd planned to arrive by 12 and do a few drone flights, have a wander around and get some handheld photos of the ground and then have a pub lunch at the Red Robin before going in, but despite making really good time as far as Birmingham, some delays around Walsall and a crash on the M6 near the Crewe turn off meant I was delayed by over an hour and had to settle for two flights and a Burger King...

This was a match that Crawley totally dominated and on another day would have won at a canter, with The Reds chalking up virtually three quarters of the posession and having 14 attempts on goal to Wigans 2. Unfortunately, besides Panutche Camara's pinpoint cross from the right that saw Jay Williams head over from close range in the second half, we created no clear cut chances and always looked vulnerable to the counter attack. The game was decided by an unfortunate deflection by Joy Mukena from Thelo Aasgaard's off target header following a cross by Luke Chambers from the left.
