| My only regret about becoming a Wigan fan is that i didn't do it sooner.
Never saw a game at Central Park.
Sometimes this makes me feel i am not fully qualified .

6900_1338476363.jpg Radio 5 Live, Sat, April 14th, 2007,...Dave Whelan, "In Wigan, rugby will always be king":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6900.jpg |

| Quote: Rogues Gallery "The were no grants available to refurbish Central Park so it would have to have been funded by Dave Whelan. The cost would have been greater than building the JJB for which grants were given.
Whelan would have sold Central Park to Tesco, just as Robinson did, and Whelan would have pocketed the money. That's how he works and makes his money.'"
Correct.

| The loss of Central Park seemed like a catastrophic blow at the time, and it certainly changed Wigan town centre for the worse. The famous Wigan Lane pub crawl now lacks any kind of spirit. Several of those boozers, once so famous for the landlords they had and the rugby memorabilia that filled them, are now seedy dens, which have been all but abandoned by the punters.
But ... and it's a big but, if Whelan had rebuilt CP and housed Latics there as well, can you imagine how we'd have felt that terrible play-off night when he showed us the door so the football could take priority? It was bad enough being told we couldn't play at the DW, but imagine being told we couldn't play at Central Park. That would have been truly unbearable.
