The sale of Central Park paid off their crippling debts did it not ?
Obviously they will have put something into the stadium construction – not sure how much – but it was planned, and had already started being built when they came on board.
Even the JJB was being built i remember Jack Robinson on the front of the WEP saying they’d be building a new ground of their own too.
There is no reason why the warriors cant play Saturday at the dw!
The FA do not allow the rugby to play less then 24 hours before a premiership football match. They’d have to get up pretty early to get around that one![/quote]
This is not true![/quote]
Yup, no mention of the 24 hours thing, as is often trotted out by the media, in the Premier League rules.
All it says it that football matches must take priority in scheduling.
Phil Wilkinson on Twitter reckons Leigh (although they are still in the cup and have been drawn at home the same weekend) or the Reebok the preferred venues.
Maybe they could have the Leigh and Wigan games back to back at LSV :)
In the summary of televised fixtures, there’s no mention of where Catalan v Warrington is being played either.Stade Gilbert Brutus is only home to Catalan Dragons, so i think we can pretty confidently say that, that they will be allowed to play their home tie at…….home.
That said it will be laughable for them as a club and Rugby League as a sport if WWRLFC are forced to play a high profile derby game at another venue. Almost makes you feel sorry for them.
BBC say they’ve got that game on, on the Saturday at 2:30pm but no mention of a venue. Either Whelan has relented and has let them play or they’re frantically trying to find a venue.
There is a thread over on rlfans. Now that they sponsor “Super League” each team, it would seem, has a “truck” with their logo on.
They’re keeping tabs on where they have been spotted on there. Riveting !
You obviously thought wrong then and took Whelans word for it.
Why a rugby mon would ever take Dave on his word i’ll never know.
Unless it was just an attempt, on your part, to shit stir. :ohmy:
Not at all – its just that many on here seem to think that the DW belongs to WAFC, when in actual fact it clearly doesnt. It is only their membership of the Premier League that dictates they get first use of the pitch where there is a clash of fixtures.[/quote]
Then if most on here think that you must spend more time on here than i do, which is strange considering that this isnt even you team.
Cant say i remember seeing anyone claim that the DW now belonged to us.
Now toddle off and update your latest Eddie Stobart sightings in the “Truck Watch” thread :P

Club statement:-
—————
Club acts swiftly to ban unsavoury spectators
Wigan Athletic in conjunction with Greater Manchester Police has acted swiftly to ban 17 spectators from attending future matches.
The move follows incidents inside the Reebok Stadium at last Saturday’s derby game with Bolton Wanderers when a number of flares were set off within the Wigan Athletic supporters seating area.
The spectators predominantly aged between 15 and 22 have been written to today by the Club, confirming that they are no longer welcome to attend Wigan Athletic games.
Chief Executive Jonathan Jackson said:
“We were extremely disappointed by the behaviour of a small minority of spectators who tarnished what was a fantastic day for the Club.
“We have worked closely with Greater Manchester Police who will be issuing official football banning orders on the majority of those arrested during the game.
“We wish to protect the image of Wigan Athletic as a family Club and do not welcome those who seek to make trouble and endanger the safety of our supporters.”
Prior to Saturday’s game only three Wigan Athletic supporters had been arrested this season and the Club is keen to maintain this record of good conduct.
Arsenal Reserves lost 10-1 to Villa Reserves last season.
I wouldnt read too much into it – although the dark side obviously will.
