I should think he has had a load of hate mail. He's supposed to represent the whole community, not just those with odd-shaped balls. Good luck with your legal research, chaps. Doubtless you'll ignore all this football trust grant money next time you claim it's a rugby stadium.

I have sent similar emails to Ian McCartney and Neil Turner as well as Brian Simpson.

Who is claiming its a rugby stadium it was built with dual purpose in mind football and rugby .We all know what Dave Whelan prefers he has bankrolled the Latics writing off all your debts .

Great work Donna!

when you obtain the office copies from the land registry you need to request a copy of the registered lease from that title which should detail all wigan rl's leasehold interests in the JJB stadium. This can be done for a fee of £20

unfortunately though i dont think it will help or would have requested these myself.....I would expect there is a clause in the lease which lists that in the case of a conflict between wigan rl and wigan l@t1cs, the stadium managment company shall make the casting decision (ie. w@nk3r whelan). Therefore i suspect we are scupperd

We KNOW that clause is in the lease.
It was the only thing they did agree on last week.

The point is this - and there is always the chance that something may be discovered that makes a difference, no matter how unlikely - The key word to this are...

"CLASH OF FIXTURES"

It would seem that the power Mr. Whelan has is that he gets to decide if there is a clash before he has the power to decide we can't play.
Who knows maybe somewhere buried in the minutes of a council meeting this may just have been brought up and discussed.
They might even have had the sence to have decided just what a fixture clash was going to be defined as.

You see, to me and to the vast majority of people, Friday night is not Saturday afternoon. THERE WAS NO FIXTURE CLASH.

If someone turns up something where this has been discussed we might have something to challenge. But as for the rest of it I can't se what difference it would make.
Keep digging and prove me wrong - PLEASE!

What exactly are you doing this for? (Not being critical)

Is it to see if Wigan Warriors could (if we wanted too) have our own stadium? Or to see if Dave "W*nker" Whelan was going against the ground-sharing agreement when he evicted us to Widnes?

Which is what the Premier League and the RFL work together on to avoid having Premiership and RL, or any other sport for that matter, matches being played on the same day at the same venue.

So we have all the facts. So we know EXACTLY what the status of the ground share is , and what is conditional upon it.

Only when we have all the information can we establish the what nexts...

This search has nothing to do with the clause in the lease. This is to do with the premise that planning permission was granted on and whether the lease itself and the interpretation of the lease reflects that premise.
