Quote: Odemwingie "Is it though? Could we not get more income by having our own stadium?
What will we do in 50 years time then?'"
Yes it is. Ian Lenagan has stated it on numerous occasions. We don't have to cough up for the constant pitch reconstructions do we? We don't have to maintain the stadium at all. I'm sure Ian Lenagan has used the term 'bargain' to describe our deal at the moment.
As for the '50 years time' - do you honestly see Wigan Athletic in existence? Whelan will have been long gone & lord knows no-one is going to invest in a small town team like Wigan & bankroll them every week to keep them in the Premiership. Then the penny drops and they dwindle back into the Conference as a Sunday team, watched by a few hundred, with postmen and bin men as players.
