Why start an attack in our own box when we can start one deep into theirs?
You’ll be wanting us to excessively water the corners next.
Can somebody put up here how much we get from sky ?
It isn’t £60 million. £60 miilion takes into account TV payments and relegation parachute payments (as the promoted teams are favourites to go straight back down.) The correct figure from last season – according to The Independent- was between £31 million to £38 million for the less fashionable clubs – see link below.

We were mid table, so we were one of the better mediocre clubs so we probably got £36-38m.
Add that to the £25m in transfer fees we have recieved in the last few months.
Add all gate receipts, hospitality, advertising, sponsorship and not forgetting Egg rent, and the total must be approaching £75M
Even with a ludicrous wage bill,we must now be at least breaking even after the odd transfer or two.
I bet they are yellow water off now they are paying tennants.
Oh yeah. As someone posted on C & W though, at least we weren’t kicked out of Central Park for a playoff game.
On a separate note – would Latics fans have gone to watch WAFC at Central Park had DW’s plans of redeveloping Central Park gone ahead?[/quote]
It would have been away matches only for me.
foolsgold, I’m loving your avatar.I reckon its LAV’s agent p*****g his sides that Man Utd coughed up £17m for him.
So you are a Man U loving egg chucker are you?
I think your posts should be boycotted along with the East Stand and Club shop.Not really gonna happen though is it? Well until he sells up.The rugby fans hate him because of the playoff incident.
They’ve hated him ever since he moved them to the JJB.
Even though the move paid off all their debts and gave them a clean sheet to start again.The play off helped to reinforce it.
I bet they are pissed off now they are paying tennants.
At the same time as the rent being good economically though – so is not p*ssing off the people who pay you rent.Basically it’s an empty gesture from DW and nothing more.
An empty gesture that has p****d off more fans of his own club than it has pleased fans of someone elses club.
Their fans hate him for saving them from extinction???Its just another idiotic ego boost for Dave Whelan.
All we can do is boycott it in the hope eventually someone at our club has some say about how it is run, and they have the b****x to stand up to the old goat.
Never forget!!
Is this thread about too many away fans, violent away fans, the supporters club, or our overall lack of support.
make your minds up so we know which to reply to.The numbers looked to be up in the West Stand last night, maybe a few have boycotted the East Stand.
It’s nothing like the same though is it.If Celtic and Rangers shared a ground (regardless of who owns it, still DW as far as I know at the minute) then there’d be things in place for both clubs.
Imagine two fierce rivals (at the same sport as well. wow fancy that) like Lazio and Roma, or AC Milan and Inter Milan sharing a ground. No f*cking way could that happen. Oh wait – IT DOES!!!!
Yes I understand the history and what went on, but times have changed. Now Latics are a PL club and Wigan aren’t as successful as they once were. Instead of sounding like bitter old men and making Latics fans look like idiots – why not be happy that now you are the towns big club (although as stated, both sides get around about the same home attendance) and the rugby club are in your shadow. Why not be happy that the rugby club pay the football club rent? Why not be happy that if Latics have a bog standard league match and Wigan have a big playoff game that could decide their season, then Latics will play at home and the rugby will have to play elsewhere? Why not focus your attentions on getting behind Latics from whatever stand you like instead of petty comments like ‘i’m not sitting there because it’s an even number and I only like odd numbers’
All what you say above may be true and so be it, but it misses the point. I bet if either of the clubs you mention own the ground, their tennent won’t have a Stand named after one of their idols. If it was jointly owned or independently owned then thats different.
We know we are the main team in Wigan and they are in our shadow.
We are glad they pay us rent and understand totally the economics of the arrangement.
We know that we will now get priority over fixture clashes, and we do get behind our team and focus on all things latics.
The point you seem to have missed is it is a football ground owned by our football club, by all means rent it out if it gets sone income, but why name anything after some peanut hugging klump who has no affiliation to WAFC.
Its plain wrong, embarrassing and laughable.What a fantastic post, at last there is someone else with a bit of the old guard b****x about him.
Billy Buxton Stand my a**e, it will always be the East Stand until it re named after someone or something to do with the Latics.
You are right tashmon, it could happen nowhere else but Wigan, it f*****g sickens me to the core all this one town thugby loving s***eSpot on Vatman…..our support was fooking pish poor last neet.1st home game of the season.
1st chance to welcome RM back.
A warm pleasant mid August night, with a whole new season to look forward to and we couldn’t muster up 15,000 home fans, and those that do turn up don’t get behind the team.I know the home fans haven’t had much to shout about since January this year but we had the chance as a set of fans to put all that behind us last night….. :evil:
Here, here.
Do you think Bobby will have a go at the fans ala Whelan, Jewell and Bruce.Great initial post Vat, I agree with you and all that has been said since.
However, it was very frustrating, and to a certain extent I can understand peoples negative reaction.(not the booing though)
We started very well at Villa, and I think most people expected us to go out there and pick up an easy three points.
If I am honest I thought we were nailed on for the win after seeing Wolves play at the weekend.
Even now, I don’t know how we lost to a side who were so lacking in football ability, but I suppose it just shows you how hard work and determination can still pull you through at times.(along with every spoil tactic in the book).
I don’t see any need to panic just yet, but we had better learn quickly how to play against the s**t sides because Stoke, Portsmouth, Burnley, Fulham, Birmingham, Bolton etc will play just like Wolves did.
I think it will be a different game altogether on Saturday, I’m not predicting a victory, but an improved performance will be nice.
