The week following Wigan's demolition of Manchester United proved almost as demanding as the match itself.
Wigan were already sort of an attention grabber in the league, and the media loved it.
They were making strides in a way that hadn't been seen in a while, but then there was that game against United.
The attention that came with beating the most storied clubs in football and possibly the most historic in English football was never going to pass quietly.
But what Wigan hadn't anticipated was the scale of it.
The first morning had been manageable enough, at least until the crowds began to gather outside the training centre.
By Tuesday, the club had hired additional security and introduced new arrangements for the players' arrivals.
Staff were asked to use new designated entrances, while security personnel worked to keep the gates clear and prevent supporters from gathering directly along the players' routes.
It helped, but only to a point.
