I believe it was sold as part of deal when Latics went into administration to a company that intended to open a gmn. That hasn't happened so far.

Regardless of who you support. We need people like him in the game

Sound the ‘LeBron/Curry/WW69 sensible post alarm’

There’s always that one decent post a year that just gives you some hope for the future.

Saw this little line in an email from Geoff Warburton regarding hospitality:

'the stadium is now in joint ownership with Wigan Warriors for the first time.'

I know many suspected this would be the case but surprised this hasn't been confirmed in a press release as its quite significant?

Things are changing thats for sure.
all matchday (rugby)takings beer etc are going to the Warriors.
Danson only bought the tics to stop them going under and to get the stadium.
he owns 100% Latics and soon he will own 100% Warriors.
Exiting times for sure.

Don’t Sodexo own the catering rights?
Unless Danson has paid to terminate the contract?

Last home game the pop-up bar in the West concourse had disappeared. Choice of beer even spr than usual; if you don't drink lager... hope things improve on that front, and, of course, that the money goes to the Warriors. And maybe a few more rugby photos on the walls to remind people a rugby league club plays there, rather than the one (?) that exists now, surrounded by about 50 Latics ones? Pretty please?

The elephant in the room is the excellent work, effort & money the club have put into the hospitality facilities at Robin Park.

Will it still be a priority going forward? I hope so. It's certainly a unique space in regards to access to the outdoor bits and obviously solely Wigan RL themed. ,

Reliably told that he's already now majority owner more than the known 26% and the more recently 49% quoted.
Things are definitely changing at pace, all the day to day running is going back over to the stadium. Also seems to be a whatever you need just get it for the rugby side of things. I could see maybe the Robin park side being, kept for after pre and post game stuff along with training, reserves, academy and women's games. May even get another small stand to make it more appealing for smaller events and athletics, which would fit in. Wouldn't be surprised with more signings maybe one really big one will happen that's been rumoured for some time, they are pulling the stops out for it.

The stadium should be owned jointly and it always should have been the case. I'm glad there has not been a big song and dance made about it and hopefully it's just a starting point of there being a closer relationship, where both clubs and both sets of supporters can feel like it's their home.

Spot on .... It should have always been the case, that would have ended a lot of the crap that's gone on years ago. I supported Latics as a kid and even before Lindsey, fans was always let's say not best mate's. The stick my dad got for saying we was going to rugby at one Latics home game was what started my swing to just rugby, very sad really as I watched both, hopefully in the future things can change.

I believe he has
