The last stadium sponsor was Dave Whelan's company and the new one will be Dave Whelan's company. The fact that the company bears his name is irrelevant. Plenty companies are named after their owners.

Although I'd rather it have a generic name such as "The Riverside" or "Wigan's Stadium" I'm ultimately not that arsed. At this moment in time I'm more concerned with seeing some consistent and entertaining rugby rather than what it says on a sign outside my stadium.
Have you got a price list ???
I like the name ' Pie Dome'
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.......
I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

PEOPLE
YOU ARE MISSING A MASSIVE IMPORTANT ISSUE... the name of the stadium is dw cos he couldn't get anyone to INVEST in his stadium. he said he had major companies lined up to pay for naming rights to the jjb.well where are they and you can bet latics will be sponsored by his company as NO major companies will want to sponsor them either.
all the money for latics will come out of his pocket and lets not forget he lost quite abit with the icelandic bank fiasco.
things are not looking very bright for whelan if he has to sponsor his own bloody stadium
