Cue loads of comments from the likes Barstardly FC and Noblot fans along lines of “what is the point as they never get sat on ?”.
On a more serious note and especially given our recent history i really cannot see the point of wasting money replacing seating that certainly doesn’t warrant it at the moment in my view pink seats or not.
Not sure of the cost of this but surely the money would be better spent on the now smaller training ground to provide good facilities to keep our successful youth set up going.
Surely this is a solid point especially after watching Lang the other night give a brilliant man of the match performance and whom cost us nothing and is surely worth a couple of million quid now especially in todays inflated market.
Watch the pennies Talal and spend them to improve and enrich the wonderful youth set up first and foremost.Cue loads of comments from the likes Barstardly FC and Noblot fans along lines of “what is the point as they never get sat on ?”.

Watch the pennies Talal and spend them to improve and enrich the wonderful youth set up first and foremost.After over twenty years with not a lot spent on it the stadium does need some TLC. I have a feeling the seats will be paid for by sponsors , who for the privilege will have their name all over them ( in blue and white
).It wouldnt really matter to me what colour the seats were if it wasnt affecting the gypos. But after putting up with their bile for the last 40 odd years and the constant degrading of our club by gobshites who watch from the pub they can swivel. Get the poxy seats out asap and while were at it stop playing in feckin red away from home. Either red or black for years. Get more creative colour wise next season. And to show there are no hard feelings between the clubs let’s do our best to find them a new home, Sydney or Melbourne would be nice.
In my opinion the animosity between the clubs was caused by aggressive media spin on their part when we threatened their perceived patch and territory soon after football league entry in 1978.
The board and manager openly and aggressively shouted their cause and did a brilliant job at Getting the local and national media into their pockets.
This has never been forgotten by the older supporters and rightfully never will be.
Change the seats if they are being paid for but forget it if they are not.
No use wasting money and stoking up Ill feeling as the argument about whether Wigan is football or rugby was firmly killed off in 2005 when we made the premier league.
Up the tics and our Football town !!!I think you are right with us getting in the league in 1978. Before that we were plucky little non league Latics who made a name for ourselves in FA Cup ,very often supported by the Rugby club and their supporters.I remember they used to put good luck Wigan Athletic messages in the Post and Chronicle and we used to do the same when they had big Challenge Cup matches.When we got in the league their attitude changed towards us ,we became a real threat and they did not like it.Things have never been the same since and we all know the history and the derogatory comments made towards us by their various Chairmen. We could get on now but they have to accept that we are equals ,we are not plucky little non league Latics anymore.
By various, do you mean 1?
We all know about Maurice Lyndsey but I seem to remember Jack Robinson was not exactly complimentary towards us and I suppose it was actions rather than words with Mr Lenegan.
IL did what most people would have done and tried to protect his interests. It peed me off at the time but he was looking for investors to buy the club.
His billionaire mate could have bought us.
Not sure you’ll change anyones mind on here Ad though about him.
And Whelan could have helped put right the shit storm he helped create by flogging you off to a bunch of money launderers. But he did fuck all, and he’s supposed to be a Tics legend.
And I see that the begging bowl has come out already from the new billionaire owners. Will your “monthly subscription” buy you a blue seat, a white seat, an unused poppy for McLean’s shirt, Charlie Wyke’s laces?
Whelan could have stopped an even bigger shitstorm if he hadn’t saved the warriors in the first place. Why is the new scheme getting the begging bowl out? The rugby have been doing their Knights of Central Park thing for years.
Mutty you’ve shown occasionally you are capable of reasoned debate, but unfortunately your small mindedness seems to prevent you doing it often enough.
I suppose that’s what comes of all those years doing an impression of Captain Darling.
