To make themselves feel better, they are now saying that St Helens should be given the Boston Stand for rugby fixtures as they always sell out the North Stand and could easily fill it.

Ungrateful, entitled sh**s. The only way that ground will be full is if the whole home support fits in the Boston stand and Man Utd sell out the other three stands. Ive suggested that they should take Bolton's place at Luton and let Bolton host Man Utd and sell out their stadium. Needless to say it didnt go down well.

Quote: Mark_P1973 "the Latics fans have very short memories, in fact i bet most werent even fans when the East stand was always for away supporters (prior to the promotion to the PL)

The old guard running the club knew that most clubs in the championship bring good followings and would almost fill the East, so financially it makes sense to have an extra 2k away supporters in that not

in regards to rugby, i've said previously that some cup games shouldnt have had the East open, just West and South as 7k across 3 stands looks bloody awful. At least get the fans there closer together so it can generate a bit of an atmosphere'"


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

Quote: NickyKiss " Latics have a couple of players earning salaries 3 times that of the highest player in the rugby clubs squad and they can’t wait to get them off the books. '"


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

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.
