Please don't think that by coming on here I am in any way trying to 'pass the buck'. The buck stops with me and I will apologise on behalf of the club if it is called for (which in this case it is).

To the sceptics can I point out that this is not some sort of reaction to cover up a blunder. It was always intended that ebay would be used to raise funds for the Foundation. So much so that there is a budget line for the Foundation that is 'ebay income'. Furthermore if anyone cares to check the website of Newcastle Falcons (my previous club) you will see that their ebay site has for the past 5 years benefited the Falcons Community Foundation (to the tune of a significant five figure sum). This is something I instigated myself and it is a no-brainer to do it for our own newly formed Foundation.

As for my/trhe club's involvement on this or other fans site it is a fine balance. We will never comment or respond to threads on subjects such as player form, team performance or general subjective comment/rumours on the club as a whole. We will, where we are made aware, correct any inaccuracies that are posted, apologise where need be and step in if any libellous comments were posted (thankfully never so far!).

The other option we have is to have no involvement whatsoever. If posters wish this to be so then we will honour that but I would be disappointed if that was the case.

As ever if you wish to contact me direct to discuss this or any other matter I am available on m.hogan@jjbstadium.co.uk or 01942 770405.

Regards

Mick

Quote: Panda Antics "I know we have other things to worry about at the moment but rlthisrl is the single most embarassing thing I have known Wigan, or any professional sports club to do.

Giving a f*cking fan a place on the official site under the category of first team is pathetic. Beyond amatuer.

Everything about Wigan at the moment it pathetic.

Perhaps if the club didn't run sh*t like this giving away hundreds of pounds of prizes to this Nick character, they wouldn't have to run equally sh*tty ebay auctions to get revenue for what ever fund it is their putting it to.

Absolutly pathetic. Whoever thought of this completly w*nk idea must have been some of what ever Hock's been having at the time.'"


whats wrong with this idea?

Quote: Happy Tom "whats wrong with this idea?'"


What was wrong with it was it was not made clear all proceeds are to charity.

The listing has now been amended I believe to make this clear.

So yes the club screwed up by not making this clear but will have learned their lesson.
