No, not to everyone outside of the Wigan Warriors fanbase.
But within their fanbase there are plenty that argue til the cows come home that the stadium couldn’t have been built without them coming in. Some even think it was built for them and we jumped in, well in future there is no doubt.
St Helens will be loving it on their forum I guess.

That part could actually be true as the grants given to build it were on the basis of it being a dual sports stadium. Originally it was meant to be Orrell but I think DW realistically knew he needed Wigan RL.
Of course, since we made the Prem they have become kind of insignificant and the stadium leases were changed to give the owners of WAFC the ownership of the ground.[/quote]
That would be believable if the stadium hadn’t already been given the go ahead and the build already started after Whelan dropped his interest in orrell. he instead offered it to warriors knowing the funding would be given if they accepted, he would have footed it had they rejected it. Or at least that is how I lived it :woohoo: I remember the plans with all blue seats in it on that rickety bus outside the building site..[/quote]
I remember the designs as well and yes they were blue but I’m not sure on the build part. I’m not sure either that DW would have paid the full amount himself but who knows. Once he bought Wigan it was irrelevant as the grants came in.
The fact is though that the rugby have never once had any form of controlling stake in the ground and probably never will.
With all the negative threads on this boaed recently everyone take a minute to reflect upon where we would be today if it wasnt for this great man. Take a bow Mr Whelan, you deserve this. Sorry I couldnt make it today.Correct
These idiots need sorting out. It is time we started to look at plans to rid the game of this ridiculous organisation and lead the way in setting up a new governing body of some kind.
The sooner the better or Please FIFA ban all the home nations and then maybe it could be the end of the ridiculous cancellation of matches for international duty and a return to the end of season home internationals.[/quote]
I’m guessing you aren’t a fan of the England football team then Donny? Club before Country?

He was told not to drink allegedly so it is.
It’s a joke though how everyone in the press is instantly villified. Bet no other nation does it.
Thing is egg, the other lads went to a nightclub so why is Rooney being singled out.[/quote]
Captain isn’t he.
Its peanuts combared to the 7 BILLION we chuck away under the name of ‘foreign aid’ every year.

Putting ourselves first is not racist like many would have you believe.
