Hi Jason,
There are a few grumblings and rightly so about the bridge over the canal and it feeling a bit dangerous getting over it after matches. (bottleneck, slippy, puddles and very badly lit).
I know it isn’t the responsibility of WAFC, but I think it needs bringing up with the Council by the Football Club before someone is seriusly injured.
Please let me know what you think and get back to me if possible.Cheers,
Paul.
The issue has been raised with the council, Canal and Rivers Trust, plus internally at the DW STADIUM.
The Council did resurface it in 2014, so gives an indication it is their issue to deal with.
Canals and Rivers Trust have no involvement
The stadium doesn’t believe it is their issue.
I’ve raised it with Mal Brannigan and he has asked for the Council to do something or give reasons why they’re not doing.
Ill let you know when there is an updateThat’s fantastic Jason, I’ll pass it on to those concerned. Thanks for your help with this.
Cheers,
Paul.
Before the match last Saturday it showed the pictures of those we have lost since our previous home match. I realise there were time constraints, but it was a bit quick and I’d like to be able to see it again as I thought there were photos of people I half knew, but I couldn’t be sure if it was them or not. Would the club be able to put the it on their webiste so that we can watch it back again?
The link to the video is here

I am pretty sure the TVs were on in the East Stand last home game?
With regards to the speed of service, it has been reported to the relevant people already.

Hi Jason
What’s happened to the Supporters Trust set up?
I note it has been wound up. I was under the impression that such Trusts should be in place just in case…Jason,

Cheers Craig. I was on an Apple Mac, but have now got rid of it and got a normal laptop now.

Genuine Question – Where does the animosity towards the Supporters Club stem from? Is this regarding monies from the administration crowd fund and where they ended up going to? or is there more to it?
There is a little more:
They held “votes” on Twitter which most people didn’t know about to “ask those who donated how to use the funds” and each option was: Give the money to Wigan Athletic Community Trust for none Wigan Athletic reasons. The head of WASC then, I’m sure completely coincidentally joined Wigan Athletic Community Trust.
There wasn’t transparency on the fact the money donated wasn’t used by the admin as per the official companies house administration reports.
They actively ignored people who wanted to invest in “Plan B” because “they weren’t in the circle of trust” despite being 1.5m short of what was needed.
The options were with the Community Trust campaigns because it was stated on the crowdfunder, that if any money was returned it would go to Community Trust Projects. The options were given at the time on Social Media and the website of the current CT projects.
Caroline was asked to join the Community Trust as a Deputy Head of a Secondary School, to bring her knowledge to the Trust so they could work more effectively in Secondary schools. The fact she was Chair of WASC had no bearing on her taking this voluntary role to help promote the CT and Wigan Athletic further.
There was complete transparency of WASC transferring money when the Administrators provided invoices, this included paying Eavesway for the coaches (2 of them instead of one, for every game as per COVID rules), Stadium Staff wages, petrol for the lawn mowers etc….
Plan B was always there, no matter what the thoughts or gossip says. But the cold fact is it would have seen us struggle, hence yhe need for a buyer.
