But there's always next time !

I don't think I'd need to insist - that comes free with the G Love.

| didn't win but if i had i would have had a quick word in lord Tony's ear in order to ensure he picked wigan in the club call round (if we reached it) then buy every west stand ticket up and then give them away to warrington fans who couldn't ussually afford to attend the match, lived too far away (i'd pay their travel expenses etc) to ensure 13,024 warrington fans attended and not one wiganer!
(oh i also have a WN postcode so could buy them direct from wigan's ticket office)
just to feel really smug!

| Quote: Thelonius "My company would take over the stadium naming rights when the HJ deal expires and the stadium would be renamed The Brian Bevan stadium.
I would then make Greg Inglis and Billy Slater an offer they couldn't refuse to come and work for me counting beads for 30 minutes a week. What they then want to do in the own time is up to them (so long as it involves training with and playing for Wire)
I would also pay for return flight to the South of France (accomodation, beer vouchers and match ticket not included) for the Catalan game each year for all season ticket holders at the BB Stadium.'"

| Having thought about this a bit more, what I would do is:-
- Let the people running the club stay running the club. The odd ticket nightmare aside, they're doing a great job.
- I'd make sure the community/foundation side of the club was kept in place. Again, probably not making any changes.
- I'd make sure that our head of youth development was in place and that he..actually...yeah, I'd keep Bastian
- I'd ensure we were spending up to the maximum on the salary ca..p...
- I'd put a team on the field capable of coming top of the....league...ah
- I'd extend the ground, maybe filling the corners in...oh
Furry seat covers?

| I'm surprised that nobody has suggested investing in 3 or 4 pinters for the stadium...

| Well I did win on the Euro Millions, sadly I don't think my £5.50 will be very helpful to rugby. On the other hand I also won £10 on Wednesday's lottery. Maybe I am building to the big one.

| Convert the east stand to terracing with the ability to walk from one end of the south right around the the other end of the east
Put a second tier of seats on the north, east and south stands including over the quadrants so its completely enclosed (giving us a capacity around the 25,000 mark)
make sure the club is properly marketed all over cheshire not just in warrington so we fill it every week
hire a top drawer publicist / pr guru (like max clifford) to get both rugby league generally but more specifically us the attention of the general public and national media (celebs being 'spotted' in wire shirts, at games etc) a bit cheesy but it would raise our profile no end
have my own executive box built to my own specifications
buy all the derelict shops opposite central station, knock them down and build us a decent sized car park (not very exciting but needs to be done)
Id also give the wizards a good few million (including renovating wilderspool) to see how far up the leagues they could get
I think id also give the Chester Gladiators several million at least and maybe even buy them the Deva Stadium, it would be interesting to see another cheshire club climb the ladder and maybe one day be another SL derby for us

| I am with Lister and Milly here. Lots of money to local clubs that have not had the fortune to receive lottery funding to provide fantastic facilities at the likes of Leigh East, Golbourne and Ince. It is a shame that a town of this size has only four teams at some age groups and it would be nice for the professional club to not need to sign juniors from Yorkshire and Wales etc. And be able to source them locally. Pitches and posts for every primary school in the borough. Encourage the likes of bank quay to develop youth teams and even assist in setting up amateur clubs south of the ship canal. I would then set up a scheme whereby ex or current pro players would assist in coaching junior teams across the country.
Buy my self a small yacht (the sails and stuff would be just for show) moored on the French riviera and live like Michael Cain in Dirty rotten scoundrels.

58058_1310484944.jpg Love my Rugby League.
The game will survive in North Wales. Too much work and effort has been put in, to let it go to waste. We have an appetite for this sport and we'll make it work.
You're likely to see me in a Crusaders shirt, in a Warrington game or a Catalans game.

| First thing I'd do is save and give the Crusaders a strong future in Rugby League. Secondly, I'd run Manchester United and the pie-eaters out of business.
