All this for what - seat colours? Seriously? I couldn’t care any less what the colour of the plastic is that I sit my backside on. I couldn’t care less if a mural of Andy Liddell appeared in the tunnel. It’s a stadium that isn’t owned by us and ultimately the parent company of WA can do whichever it pleases aesthetically with the stadium. At the end of the day it’s our home ground, I’ll go and watch us wherever we play. If some aesthetic changes bothers you that much then you’re beyond help IMO.
The debate about having a stadium again has been rumbling on since we moved in. It isn’t going to happen anytime soon. The stadium itself is too big for both teams save for the rare sell out - I can’t recall when that was for either side.
This whole vile mantra towards WA from some WW fans and vice versa is as embarrassing as it is ridiculous. We’re 2 different clubs in 2 completely different sports. I don’t know why a minority section from each club continues to carry a chip on their shoulder. We should actively celebrate and congratulate both teams success. I’m no football fan, in truth I never have been so WA mean nothing to me but that doesn’t mean I won’t be glad if they get promoted, sad if they get relegated.
Wigan is truly a backwards town sometimes and this faux rivalry is the epitome of it.

| Quote: ComeOnYouWolves "I'll add my two penneth in. I think the deal was Tesco would pay for the shell of the stadium and then the club had to fund the fitting of the stadium. Where the shell of the stadium ended i presume was the bricks and mortar plus supporter seating. All interior works were paid for by the club. I think it was 10-15m tesco paid. I may be wrong
Either way we got a new stadium, something we needed. Tesco got a large store which hopefully they benefitted from also.
As much as we Warrington - Wigan have a rivalry. Wigan RL deserve to have there own stadium. What did happen to all the money from Central Park? Just read it was 12m that Tesco paid for Central park....'"
they paid for the land and building, thats 90 percent of the cost......I know the fittings were done by Warrington but come on you got a ground for free
