standish , you can only play and beat whats in front of you
wigmon , another gem from a tic . so the actual club is ok , its the fans that every other RL club hates ? :lol:
why would another club hate our fans
when we go to away games its more often than not the home teams best gate of the season ??
on that basis i would say most other clubs love us
It seems the lodgers have lost 35000 fans since the grand final :shock: :shock:[link2:1eyk0hy5]now whos lurking,http://forums.rlfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=485859%5B/link2:1eyk0hy5%5D :teasing-lurk: :teasing-lurk: :teasing-lurk: :angry-boxing:
what a clown , do you not realise the entrire RL community buys those tickets
its not like the leyland daf trophy :crying-yellow:
you are dave whelan arent you !!
you still think he lets us pay rent and play there to protect his public image ???
we are talking about the guy , who on national tv admitted he would pick his business empire over his family ffs!
and you believe he did all that out of the goodnes of his cold heart :roll: :lol:
So, out of a long rambling post, the only thing you’ve picked out is the bit I’ve said about Whelan doing something on, ‘possibly’, moral grounds.
Whelan’s conversations with the media are, much of the time, PR spin. He supports his family well fanancially, and he has a lot of friends in Rugby League – I know that for a fact. Maybe I am him, posting on a football forum at 23.40 on a Sunday night.
So perhaps you are right and Wigan Ahtletic need that extra £200k a year – even though the cost for replacing an overused pitch each year is in excess of this.
Grow a brain sonny.

you said it ! :lol:
the arrogance is unbelievable really , you think its just the rent he gets ??
re the pitch , thats a whole different ball game
Oooh, stop please. A rugby league fan preaching about the danger of relying on Sky money!!!!Oh please stop, it’s hurting.
and this one thinks sky doesnt controll football :lol:
wake up lad , they say when you/us play and kick off
you are dave whelan arent you !!

dont talk rubbish ,he had no choice in the matter. planning permission was granted on the basis it was a dual sport stadium and you are barely the choice of football fans in wigan :lol:
If he had no choice, why do Wigan RL pay rent? Would you pay to use something you were legally entitled to use anyway? It was granted permission as a dual sport stadium, not a football/rugby league stadium. Had Orrell RU attracted the support Whelan hoped they would, they would have been the ones to use the stadium as RU is a national sport and open to much greater exposure than RL.
That aside, do you honestly think Wigan Athletic would be refused permission to use the stadium these days if Wigan RL were not allowed to play there?
There may be more Man U, Liverpool, Everton etc ‘supporters’ in Wigan than Latics supporters, but what do you expect for a team that only entered the football league in 1978?
And please don’t add little laughing faces to the end of posts in future and expect a sensible reply. It just suggests that you are very young and/or childish.[/quote]
im legally entitled to live in my own house even though through the mortgage system i am effectively paying rent untill the loan is payed
i would assume we pay rent as whelan has a controlling share in the stadium ?
a previous post of yours mentioned us being at the dw a good will gesture ??? make your mind up ffs
given the choice , who would whelan have on board , a 2nd rate team in ru that has 6 men and a dog watching them or the biggest name in rl with all the history ?
no brainer
aye lad , youre never off SSp1 :lol:
its a very short sighted view to rely solely on the sky money , you will not be in the premiership for ever
having revenue coming in for the stadium when not being used is just common sense
Perhaps Wigan Atheltic aren’t the first choice viewing of most football fans, but they are on Sky Sports at least once a season and that is the point. The Warriors’ rent is small potatoes. It covers one average player’s salary for three months.
The agreement Whelan made with Wigan RL is more of a PR move than a money spinner. It ensures he’s not public enemy number one with the RL crowd, and they may still buy his DW wares and use his facilities/gyms.
Rogues Gallery, you said the sale of Central Park went towards the DW, I’m sure that it was under Jack Robinson’s leadership that the ground was sold, and the money was used to pay off debts. If memory serves me well, Wigan RL were on the verge of playing at the Reebok until Whelan stepped in.[/quote]

In 2009 the chubsters paid £189.000 in rent how that justifies that we need them is beyond me considering one game televised by Sky from the DW is worth £250.000And to add to that the bigger the gate at the chubbie match the higher the money gets paid to Sir DW over a season
Now if the chubbues get a new ground the cost of that stadium will be considerable a lot more than £189.000 a season there fore a rise in season tickets to cover the cost of said stadium would not be ruled out and a end to freebies for the likes of Jewel and his cronies

not technically correct that , we need the DW , not wafc
you really are a deluded , so even relegation is fine now ! :lol:
So stuart you admit you pay rent to wigan ath and we get bigger crowds……..Finally a chubbie talking sense! :oops: [/quote]
:?: where did i say that ?
no , see you are getting things wrong again .. :? thats confused , :roll: thats like a shrug of the shouldersanother one who jumps in :P
read my post again , but take note of the little word thats been underlined :| ;)
no , see you are getting things wrong again .. :? thats confused , :roll: thats like a shrug of the shoulders
not technically correct that , we need the DW , not wafc (wafc own the dw)
you really are a deluded , so even relegation is fine now ! :lol:
you better be praying this is wrong , if we ever get our own stadium , your lot will be in the brown sticky stuff financially
How do you work that one out? Wigan warriors paid Wigan Ath £190,000 to use the dw last year!(taken from cherry and white) and Wigan warriors owe whelan £2 million! The turnover of the warriors is about £3.5 million a year and Wigan ath is £45 million a year![/quote]
whilst you get the sky slush fund it is pal , what is actually generated by the club of the 45 mil ? and more to the point , whats paid out ??
regardless of what the accounts say , wigan athletic is still receiving an income from us , take that away and
I would like to see homegrown talent come through into our first team but to be fair, I don’t care really.
would like to see it but dont care ?
There are not many people that care about rugby etc and not many people that want it as a career. The chances of a Wigan rugby player playing for Warriors is much higher than a Wigan footbaler getting a contract at latics.
its a very tired put down that now
Your lot don’t need to do much to get contracts there, I play poker with a few of the lads that play for Warriors and speak to them and it is hardly like they are training every day to be fit etc.
what !!!??
does your carer know you are on the computer ??
