Why doesn't he just add an 'S' onto the DW so it's symmetrical? The logo is red/black/white and the blue paint is being topped up outside? Why? They've changed the signage to DW on my gym and painted the blue strip red, it looks pretty smart.

The lettering on the seats is nothing short of embarassing. It makes the stadium look awful!!

Funniest thread i have seen in a long time!

None of them are right. The N is closest but too skinny.

Oh, the shame.

The 'Boston Stand' is a great name as it has a double meaning.

In addition to being named after a Wigan RL legend, it also reminds the blue 'chip on their shoulder' s (well the very few that remember any of it's very insignificant history) that [size=200Boston[/size United finished top of the Northern Premier League and should have replaced Southport in the Football League Division 4 instead of the La***s.

Very Very Very Very Unfortunately, Boston were having stand roofs replaced at the time and, therefore, were marked down on the grade for their ground - the parasites (tics) were given a higher grade for Pneumonia Park (now don't laugh - especially if you have seen the video on YouTube of Sunderland fans diving down the mud banks (sorry, terraces!) in the 1980s) and were the NPL's team put forward for election that year - the rest, as they say, is history....in their case, perhaps, the biggest part of their insignificant history!

Yep, and some 27 years later we were playing top flight football



Wonder how many clubs can say that? Oh, and we also rose from the bottom tier to the top tier in 10 years ala Hull City, only we finished 10th and reached a cup final.




On a totally seperate note............from a Wigan RL point of view it could only ever be 'The Boston Stand'. From a Latics pov I guess at least all our 'fans' will have HEARD of Springfield Park (god rest her soul) even if they never went. (although the crowds of 1500 were obviously lies as all 13000 of our st holders were there week in week out)

Yeah, I know a lad who hasn't missed a La***s game since 1977 - he didn't go between 1985 and 1999, plus very rarely until the Prem League season, but in his mind he went every season throughout the 80s and 90s!





Oh, and to make things worse, he absolutely HATES Wigan RL - although he went to every Wigan RL Wembley Final between 1988 and 1995 (plus 1984 and 1985!) and to many other matches but now denies it - unfortunately though, we've got the photos to prove it (with a Wigan RL ski Hat and scarf on!) - there are others on this site who can confirm it and post the photos of this fraud from Scholes.

No doubt though, he's one of thousands of a similar Wigan RL hating tics fans who have put their Cherry N White colours away until our glory days return.

A little I would say definitely. Wigan RL weren't really winning trophies were we, so I doubt our prize money was that significant. Only one man will know that though I guess.

I refuse to remember the score of said final - although you only beat our reserves in fairness

Oh dear what a shocker.

I saw the new 'DW' bit on the outside when I went to the cinema on Wednesday and thought it looked absolutely she-ite, that pic has confirmed it.

As for the seats
