Presumably the likes of Hull City, Wigan Athletic, Watford, Reading and the rest are prepared to pay out some pretty big sums to buy out the leases that rugby league and rugby union clubs have with various grounds?
Are they also prepared to address the issue that local authority planning permission was granted on the basis of club's having multiple tenants?

I think so.
I'm sure I've seen that Wigan Athletic related link before.
Although I can't see it ever happening, it would be interesting to know what would happen to Wigan if it did. Both Leigh and Widnes would struggle to contain our season ticket holders let alone away support.
I'd love for a new stadium personally, but that will never happen either.

Its totally a non-story anyway, the PL, no matter what they think, dont make the law and so any ground share clubs in the PL would see the foot ball team leaving or paying exhorbitant sums to buy out and procure the RL team a new home.

Nah, the area is no where near big enough to redevelop nor is the area at our Orrell Edge Hall Road Stadium.
The only place it realistically could go is by Marus Bridge just on the main M6 North bound Wigan junction, but IL has always said it is out of the question down to a number of reasons.

Clearly the Premier league arent aware of the economic climate, single use stadiums are unsustainable these days. Everywhere around the world there are multiple use stadiums and no one complains, except the premier league egos. Councils arent going to help fund and give planing permission for several stadiums just because football demands a sole use stadium. Exactly how many Superleague clubs actually own their own stadium? and I mean outright.
Wigan dont Hull dont Salford wont Huddersfield dont

Exactly, even if we had to leave it would cost someone a hell of alot of money to get rid, and considering that the stadium was built on the condition that is was for duel use, its pretty much a non starter....
