And they wonder why no one likes them

With Saints and Warrington in for big tax bills they will have to make big cut backs.

No excuse for Wigan not to come top next year?

HAHA! You're too fsking funny! Whelan bought Wigan RLFC as a club he saw as a sound investment, and as a fan of the club.

For Knowsley Road, you got less than asking price because Wimpey talked the board down in price!

As for Owners of a wonderful new stadium, you'll probably find that there's alot more outside investment than St Helens RLFC PLC put in, and all those investors will be taking their %age year upon year.

And with regards to the council tax, do you think its fair (or legal) that the Council should fund a private venture with public funding, especially as there are people in areas covered by St Helens council that do not support St Helens RLFC, OR show any interest in rugby. Legally if giving money to it, it could only be a community project (which has to benefit the majority of the community, which it wont), or it's a loan, which means it needs paying back (mortgage). Sorry, you dont own it! The difference is, we dont think we own a stadium that we dont!

And as for it being a fantastic stadium, someone made a serious slip up, considering your glorious new stadium can't even hold our 2011 Average Attandance, and no undersoil heating. You can make fun all you like about the fact that Wigan play at DW Stadium, Whelan is a Rugby fan, and attends all the games, and the DW Stadium has the best looked after turf in all of Super League, with (i recall) 5 full time pitch keepers, and facilities that you could only dream of. As much as I don't like football, the advantages of sharing a stadium with a premiership football team greatly outweigh the disadvantages...

As for micking the brigantes, passionate supporters who make noise and generate new songs, and visual support, rather than singing the same old bland tosh week-in, week-out, recognised by the Wigan RLFC, The RFL, and stadium owners as a good thing. As for Saints... yawn, same old tosh each week, the Slow "When the saints" sounds like a bad church gathering, and what the frig is that "oooohhh" thing about. Certainly if you watch the sky footage from Saturday, even though Wigan got beat we were STILL louder than your shower, and stayed longer! Wigan walk my arris!

Can't beleive you actually bit at the banner... By the way... FOREVER IN WIGANS SHADOW (not Always), jesus, typical Saints, never were learned nothing in school.

Wigan have made provision on their accounts. There are other clubs who will have BIG tax bills.

Can't beleive you actually bit at the banner...
You are 'taught' in school.not learned.

God,that was one bitter post.

YAWN






Bored






Move along







Nothing to see








Anything to distract from Wigan not being in the final.


















Yawn.

Be fair,he might not have started grammar at school yet

He'll now be wondering why his grandmother should be going to school...

language timothy - you fat pie eater.

I,m interested in the above bit, Whelan is a business man. What will happen when Latics are relegated next season........................... I expect he will double the rent for the Asset Stripped Wigan Warriors.

Has to be said the DW stadium is a great pitch for sides that like playing running rugby like us, we have a pretty good record at the pie dome, we won there the last two seasons and the first game of SL a year or so before that.

that's not hard, even warrington can do that!
