Sale of all that land at Charnock Richard and Wrightington will push us on to a new era of hope and will subsidise our rise back to the top flight.
Well you can dream. If only we owned land at those places.
What do we actually own?Sale of all that land at Charnock Richard and Wrightington will push us on to a new era of hope and will subsidise our rise back to the top flight.

Our training ground is at Euxton, Donny is on about the Golf course DW purchased a number of years ago for an Academy at Charnock Richard.
It is a massive piece of land at Charnock and if planning permission were granted for housing it must be worth a small fortune.
If WAFC own it, or at least the company that owns WAFC it could be an asset to sell on in the future to help with recruitment or our long term survival.the land bought by whelan was bought with one intention to build houses on to make a few bob
thought everyone knew that ….no more will be thrown at the football club thats for sure unless we sell first
problem is who can he sell thats worth out yanic thats about all ;)Overall, we don’t know what we own or what our owners are prepared to invest. Dave Whelan is worth a fortune, maybe not as much as a lot of football club owners, but nonetheless he is worth a lot of money.
He still has a lot of assets, one of them being WAFC and the company that owns WAFC. All this will eventually be passed onto someone to take it forward or sell on.
Nobody knows how this will all pan out, but the man is not stupid, no one who has achieved what he has achieved without having a bit of nowse.
I am sure he will have already have put some plans in place to ensure his empire and his football club and Wigan as a town will continue to thrive once he is no longer here to drive it all forward.
The problem we all have is not knowing what is going on and how it all might pan out.

If you tried to put a shed up there would be a protest outside.
They have tried for years to build an estate on the old Camelot site but planning permission always gets blocked. The land is effectively worthless unless it can be turned into a leisure / sporting facility … maybe a golf course!
Sale of all that land at Charnock Richard and Wrightington will push us on to a new era of hope and will subsidise our rise back to the top flightSorry to disagree with you donny. But this so called rise to the top flight will not be happening for years, if ever for that matter. We as a football club are a top league 1/mid – bottom championship club at best. The sooner folk realise this, the better.
Still i do agree with you on one thing. It is good to dream.
At least we have had dreams come true and now we face reality.
Hope the fans who joined us while we were still pricking ourselves to see if the dream was for real can stay with us. Five or six thousand have left since the Premium days. Just hope it’s not just us dreamers left in two or three years time.At least we have had dreams come true and now we face reality.

To be honest I haven’t watched anything really, been too busy eating and drinking.
Sounds good to me, I’m working that weekend and I can’t get out of it so I think I will miss the Forest game unfortunately.
The bird at work (Knob Ender) who does the weekend rotas pencilled in all our home matches for me to be off, but forgot about the FA Cup.
It’ll be the first home match I’ve missed since Whitby Town in the FA Cup on 10th December 1983 (1-0) I’m well pissed off.
A win, a few beers and a reet good redskin will lessen the blow.
