It's been a landmark week for our Academy this week, with the grand opening of our new facility at Stadium Way, plus a superb 2-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Youth Cup on Wednesday evening at the DW Stadium.

We get stuck into all things Academy this week, with chief executive Jonathan Jackson, Head of Academy Gregor Rioch, Head of Community Tom Flower and Latics forward Joe Gelhardt explaining the ins and outs of the new Stadium Way facility and its impact for the Academy and wider Wigan community.

Plus, we've got reaction from Wednesday's FA Youth Cup triumph with U18 coach Peter Murphy, captain Harry Jolley and second goal scorer Kyle Joseph.

And, not to forget our feature interview with recent new recruit Kieran Dowell, who spent some time chatting to Latics Listen during his visit to Stadium Way on Monday afternoon.

Michael Jacobs and Kal Naismith were spreading Christmas cheer at St. Oswald's School in Ashton-in-Makerfield earlier in the week, whilst defender Charlie Mulgrew helped Wigan Athletic Community Trust to re-launch their Every Player Counts programme on the EFL's Day of Disabilities.

Steve Sharman also caught up with St. Oswald's PE Lead Helen Grindley, and eight-year-old Matthew, a MASSIVE Latics fan.

Back at base, Dujon Sterling sat down for a chat with Nick Taylor, discussing the defender's progress at Latics since joining on loan from Chelsea, with some great words to say about his skipper Samy Morsy, as well as keeping one eye on his friends back at Stamford Bridge.

And finally... we had a call from Leon Barnett on Tuesday afternoon! The popular defender, who will be at Saturday's game at Kenilworth Road, talks about his time coming through at Luton, his move to West Bromwich Albion, his Latics highlights and what he's been up to following retirement, running his own football academy and dipping his toe into media waters with local commentary for Northampton Town.
