ANDY KING employed a dastardly pre-match plan to try and secure three points from Wigan Athletic.

You may have noticed the Town players emerged from the tunnel clutching plants.

The official reason was to say thank you to the mums in the crowd but I have a sneaking suspicion that Andy had heard that several Wigan players suffered from hay fever.

Sadly for us, John Filan did not appear to be one of them.

This story is absolutely correct. Only the facts have been changed.
