I'm sure IL bought it back in 2018 or 2019, could be wrong, maybe he just made a long term deal with the council, I'm sure somebody in the know will know.
All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff.
17,500 seat development on Robin Park, big standing terraces for those who wish to stand.
£30mil is pocket money to Danson! Haha.

On a serious note. The best supporting years of my life have been down to IL, Wigan hall of fame in my mind.

Uncle Maurice for me in the 90s, I was only a kid but what memories. I get the sentiment though. IL has been nothing short of outstanding for the club. A brilliant owner.

Anything in the pipeline for Orrell? Noticed they’re using it as a pit stop for a charity run for Doddie Weir and it’s the first time in a long while that I remembered we actually owned it.

Yes I noticed that. I haven't heard anything, it's prime building land but I believe access is a major problem to getting planning permission.
SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

The last time I heard anything about it I'm sure I saw a article saying the club were giving Orrell a limited amount of time to raise an amount in the hope of buying the club back. I get the feeling it was at least twelve months ago though. Will try and find it.

I spoke to some Orrell lads on Friday and they said there's zero chance of them getting it back.

I recall that issue with the access. A huge blow that considering what the land must be worth (well it could be worth if they could get around it).

when was the last time any council planning committee had any issues with a minor thing like access or congestion or anything else that a large housing estate is going to bring
Bolton council have approved 2 within less than a mile of each other on the way up to chequerbent roundabout. One right on the roundabout and 1 on Platt Lane which joins Park Rd on way up from Westhoughton to the roundabout. if you travel that daily, you know there is congestion virtually constantly so why approve 2 additional housing estates knowing how bad it is anyway
pretty sure, if a housing developer comes in with the right bid for Orrell that it would get approved with Wigan Metro get something out of it
