I admire your stance mutty lad posting it on the rugby board too, but it won’t make it possible.
Latics games will have to be played at the dw regardless of the competition and the academy will have to play a number of games there also.
Backs to the wall as every has been and will be.
We’re starting to look better now the experienced lads are coming back but will still be a long hard slog.
I’ve criticised Jamie Jones this season but he was excellent today.
Exactly. If they don’t then we can’t play there, so that basically means everyone saying Pollard will do this that and the other are fretting for nothing.
I’m sure he would do that.
To his credit, IL has always championed how a successful WAFC is good for the town so I have no concerns about him “shafting us”
Dont get this obsession with the stadium. It loses £1m a year.
Ian leneghan & his consortium probably have enough money between them to cover the loss on the stadium, but he’s a smarter businessman than the clowns that have run the Latics for the past few years, and he’s a smarter businessman than the bullshitters and fantasists that are feigning interest in buying WAFC at the moment.
If the DW was run properly, then it wouldnt lose money. The only reason it hasnt made money is because Whelan was so obsessed with the money associated with premier league football, that every other revenue avenue was ignored. Once that gravy train dried up and he fucked off into the sunset, the losses became a factor and the lack of forward planning for the stadium became apparent. The chinese only knew what uncle dave told them, so they wouldnt realise that the stadium could generate far more than it has done.
Get it flogged to someone who can make it a going concern. Get a fair rent for both sporting clubs, instead of just one, get international rugby played there, get concerts on there, get challenge cup semi finals played there. Worried about the pitch? Then stop using the stadium for reserve games and games like the EFL trophy where no fucker bothers to turn up anyway and use the Robin Park arena.
It just needs someone with a hard-nosed business brain and the DW would be a good investment.
A good idea in essence mutty, but those games have to be played at the first teams stadium sadly.
You can see what he has done to the Robin Park arena to know what the DW will look like if he gets his hands on it.
A state of the art facility?
The problem is phoenix, as long as the admins give exclusivity there is nothing that any other bidder can do
As a rugby fan I don’t want IL to buy it unless he has a way to cover the losses.
I presume the rugby club wouldn’t own the stadium but they rely heavily on his investment so we can’t have him giving 1m a year to the stadium because it will impact on the club eventually.
If the efl dont feel they have the money (loans indicate they don’t) to support the club (that isnt the admins call ti make) or they find something out about themthey don’t like, why should they out them through?
They should only be put through if they are the right choice.
