Catalan Dragons ground is council owned, the new stand is funded by the council and the new build at the other end are municipal swimming baths, according to the landlord at the sauce bar, the mayor of Perpignan is a staunch supporter of the kick and clap brigade and had the swimming baths built so that the dragons could never have a better ground than his team. Maybe a dragons fan would know more.

The stadium is owned by the council and the council has a minor ( really minor 5% or something) shares in the club. IIRC

Oh god, please let this be true. It would be hilarious if Wigan got kicked out of the football club owned stadium and had to play at Orrell (which wouldnt be superleague standard)

The smile on Whelans face will be unreal and the best payback to an upstart of a club, who had treated the man who saved them from extinction by basically spitting in his face and telling him to eff off.

Far bigger Premier league soccer club. what an absolute laugh
















Latics are losing money hand over fist and with a tight wad as chairman, who's just signed a 50 year lease with Wigan RLFC, apart from having the bo**ocks sued off him, they need the cash that Warriors generate.

just to put you straight, latics do not own the DW stadium, it is owned by a company called Whelco, of which both latics and the Warriors are tenants.

Also, if it ever did come to Wigan leaving the RL, it wouldn't just be Wigan you'd be waving too, it would be professional RL. Cos lets face it, go anywhere in this country and mention RL, the first name out of the hat is always the mighty Wigan, with an occasional Leeds and less occasional Saints. As for the rest, forget it.

What exactly have Wigan won in the last ten years? Absolutely FA!

Are you speaking from a future viewpoint, because you have just negated Leeds current remarkable "occasional" 3 in a row achievements.

League leader and a challenge cup. Not a lot but it's a bit more than FA.
Can't believe the amount of sh*t being posted on this.
Wigan athletic are barely a premier league side. They'll go soon, if we were somehow 'forced out' then we would be going with a huge lump of cash.

Except when there is a cricket fixture or they need a car park...

When did they win the league ladder, I am sure I saw Hudds spoil the little party? Also, the CC was 9 years ago. Straws, clutching me thinks!

TBH and I could be wrong here but if the players wages in the PL continue as they are then that league is going to go bang in a major way anyway sooner or later (I would assume sooner).
Its simple economics the more players get paid the more in dept clubs get or the more they charge for entry which means less people can afford the entry fees either way it can't continue.
The PL just can't see it though.
I mean how many daddy Warbucks are out there ffs.
