| Quote: 100% Warrior "[*]Conveniently forgetting that DW actually offered to renovate CP and have Latics as our tenants. It was only for your much adored Fab 4 who essentially laughed it him that he got planning permission for the then called JJB Stadium. After much more financial mismanagement from the Fab 4 and a fabled move to Bolton we begged DW to let us in. So instead of blaming Whelan perhaps try and see that your Fab 4 weren’t so Fab after all.
Widnes is a poor choice. The stadium for one isn’t owned by them but Halton Borough Council. They are also in a poor financial state and have been for some time. Warrington and Saints I give you.
I still don’t see how plastic colour no one has batted an eyelid at for 20years matters and you’ll never convince me otherwise.
As for Robin Park I think I’m in the minority in saying I think that’s a bad idea in redeveloping it. If we’re looking at a stadium (which we’re not) we should be looking at either land where the current building is beyond help or brown belt land to develop.'"
All sports clubs have just taken a major financial hit due to crowds not being allowed, then limited capacities, and still not the same number of people coming through the turnstiles now. If memory serves we were operating at a loss before all that happened as well. Spending god knows how many millions on developing a stadium next door to the very good stadium we already have access to just because of a petty squabble with Latics would be mental. Thankfully businessmen make these decisions, not fans.

| 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
