Class act. Packs out the Echo Arena in Liverpool when he plays there, 9,000 capacity I think. I would expect there'll be over 10,000 on at Wigan for his homecoming concert. Excellent planning by the club to generate some extra revenue. Get the Lathums booked up next (maybe they are the support act for Dickie Ashcroft?)

They need fans in the East as the TV cameras are opposite. They need to fill the West with the hospitality boxes so if they shut two stands it would make more sense to close the North and South.

it would depend on the game being on TV or not

but the logic still remains, if we have a home cup tie, and the attendance is only forecast at 7k, then only open 2 stands

Wow. Three times more than, say, Field or French? Well that just says it all, really, doesn't it?

I'm sure Charlie Wyke signed for at least £10k a week in 2021, which probably got increased with promotion. He barely plays, as does Magennis, who is reported to be on even more than Wyke. £25k a week (or £1m a year) for two players to sit on their backsides and rarely feature - no wonder they keep going bust.

I feel sorry for Latics fans as soon as they got a bit of power with Whelan,the town was turning blue (It didnt),we own the stadium and will control what happens (they did to a certain extent),now one banner was took down and replaced by a mainly Rugby one,academy played on the pitch,Robin park is a success with the concerts and fan days etc.Rugby side of town is flying but the football is floundering and needed a Rugby guy to save them oh how I enjoyed that.
Latics fans cannot cope with the Rugby's success,to be fair Latics are a very very good pub side.
