Sensible suggestion Vince and one that a lot of folk would indeed support. I dare say, if there was a referendum of ST holders as to Council ownership, there would be at least a 90% yes vote with Warriors, and a 75% yes vote of Latics. Ground is too big – everyone agrees, so perhaps turn one of the stands into something else – Council Office complex perhaps and then run with a 20K stadium, with segregation for visiting fans across one of the other stands.
The red part of Wigan have had 20+ years of being tenants, so for almost a generation now, its not been a big issue and has meant that the Warriors have found a way of operating within their means, with an owner who is comfortable with the financial situation.
Its the remaining blue bit that you’ll need convincing – and its probably most of the posters on here to be blunt. Some of those have used the stadium as a Willy Waving competition over the years, as they feel without their own ground, the club is nothing. Not true. Its still their club, but it would mean they would be tenants, paying exactly the same in rent per game as the rugby. Equality is not an option – they want superiority, and some want total dominance. Some of the posts about walking away if IL buys the stadium are very sad – its still your fucking club!
