Said this on another thread but here is a link appearing to say Whelan owns the Ground and Team as separate entities
http://www.ukessays.com/essays/economics/financial-appraisal-of-wigan-athletic-economics-essay.phpOwning and running their own stadium would have and still would divert the money away from the players budget which has been the reason for the Eggs success. Or do they not finish in the top group in the league every season. Off course they do. A giant fish in a tiny pond but propped up by Dave Whelans generosity who saved them from extinction and gave them a new home with the security of an affordable lease.
Yes Dave did give Latics the tiny fish in a huge ocean the same security but we moved there owning our ground and land and not homeless and moved there to progress and not because Bolton Wanderers had rejected us. Most Latics fans have done something that many Rugby fans haven’t and that is show Whelan some gratitude for this and still do. With respect to you Egg Mon you support both clubs loyally but some of us just can not and never will forget the past.Owning and running their own stadium would have and still would divert the money away from the players budget which has been the reason for the Eggs success.

We don’t splash the cash though Donny as 99.9% of our squad comes through the academy and we have a salary cap to adhere to. OK, so the amount we could spend on wages could be less but clubs like Leeds, Saints and Wire seem to manage just fine so I’m not sure we would just vanish as our academy would still churn out player after player.
Keep praying it happens though, you never know.

25/31 members of the squad so 80% if people want the exact figure ;)
Another fact to throw in the mix whilst there is an us and them malarkey going on, is that the rugby fudge crowds because of the salary cap.
I’m talking as much as 2-3,000 for some games. I believe they may count all season ticket holders as being in the ground, even though when they play the bottom teams or should I say half the super league teams, a significant percentage of the season ticket holders don’t bother to turn up.
From Matlock to ManU

I don’t think we’ve been averse to adding a few on this season. There’s been a couple of times I’ve been surprised at the official attendance. Millwall springs to mind for one.

I have heard they double up the actual attendance for the official attendance as each fan is so fucking fat they take two seats up.

Luckily for me, I automatically get two seats with my ST but only need one. #comfort
