Well if the stadium becomes the separate entity but still owned by our owner who out of charity bought the failing tics and if Wigan Ath were to fault on the rent surely they could be asked to leave and go to a more suitable stadium or even park (with jumpers for posts),only joking.
But isn't it great to take over and now the tics are beholding to Wigan Rugby and their owner to survive,oh the day of "the town is turning blue" are long gone now boy's.

I was aware Brian that a few million was required but didn’t think it would be so high. Some of it obviously due to age but I suspect that a significant amount due to lack of any expenditure over more recent years.
Some Latics fans still bemoaning “lack” of expenditure by Danson.

The irony of a wage bill at nearly £6m per year with the top paid player on £12k per week, and they are still moaning when our total cap is well below half of that

i'd cash the bronze DW tribute to himself in, and put that towards the repair bill :)

And with a rather jaundiced cynical hat on, it also separates it from oversight by the footy regulator coming in and as such any subsequent sale wouldn't be scrutinised as heavily as it might be & could pave the way for any carpet-bagger screwing us all.

Appears to be a good outcome for both clubs and hopefully Mike Danson.

I'd imagine the SMC will run the place well with the improvements that will benefit us all.

Got a mate who is a Latics fan (honest I have!) and he’s heard that there is a possibility that the east stand maybe upgraded to accommodate corporate boxes.
From a personal point of view if there are major changes I’d love some standing areas but I suspect that I will be a long time waiting for that outcome.

What's the obsession some fans have with standing areas Itchy? I honestly don't get it. They're terrible!

An actual terrace would be great but I agree that the safe standing areas are pretty pointless. I've been in them a few times and everyone tends to sit down anyway.
