Quote: Rogues Gallery "Things I'd like to see addressed.
1) The club shop in the Grand Arcade. Are we getting decent returns on that investment.
2) Has the Stadium been signed over to Wigan Athletic, and if so are there any repercussions for Wigan RL.
3) What has happened to youth recruitment? The U18's look particularly weak this year. Do we need to expand our scouting systems to look at other young sportsmen. i.e Athletics, basketball, football, Athletics etc.'"
To be honest I don't know why IL has a FF if (judging by some of the contributors) a number of fans turn up and ask innane questions. At the end of the day its all about the performance on the pitch,which to be frank has been very good so far. Almost all of us are paying customers and not shareholders so why do we need to know if we are getting a good return on the shop? If its making a return then great, if not the Board will make a decision on keeping it open or closing it. The issue of the ground share is also an issue for the Board. Does anyone think that IL is stupid enough not to protect his investment in Wigan and not have got legally binding assurances on the issue of the stadium?. As another contributor said, the issue of the youngsters has been addressed by ML. At the moment they are not coming through but they will. its part of the cycle.
Sometimes I think we need to be told less rather than more and the Gleeson episode was a case in point.
