This thread comes round every couple of weeks, one wonders why people believe anything would have changed.

| unless there is a vast oil or gas field under the clubhouse at orrell, then i doubt the club would be able to afford to build a new stadium ...
so that leaves multimillionaire benefactors with an interest in sport ... mike ashley anyone ?  |

On the whole I'm happy with us owning our training ground/office facilities and using the DW stadium for matchdays. Because that's what happens. DW is not our home. It's simply a decent, modern ground where we play our home games. What's wrong with that?

I will also buy SBW, Burgess, Morley, Lockyer and Slater.
And Edwards as coach with Farrell as his assistant.

Nothing as long as it's made available when we want to play. That play off farce last year was just blatant pettiness from Whelan. |

Well, we made our bed and we have to lie in it, sadly. |

| Quote: Cruncher "I don't think the JJB will ever really feel like home because we're being forced to share it with people we basically don't like. But at the end of the day it's a serviceable stadium, we've got a very good deal on it and the lease ensures that we can't be shown the door for 50-odd years or whatever it is without pocketing some very hefty compensation. Now that Whelan's finally laid a proper pitch, that issue has dried up as well.
The main problem as I see it is Whelan's elastic definition of what constitutes a fixture clash. This is bound to come back to haunt us again at some point, but as others have said, once Latics get relegated there'll be significantly less pressure on us to be the ones to make way.'"
Couldn't agree more, its on ok stadium, but just doesn't do it for me, have hated it since day one, its nothing to do with the sharing, got a foot in both camps and would have loved the original ground share at Central Park to have come to fruition.
I do think its the terrace I miss most, just being able to pitch up on a whim and know you can wander to a certain spot and be surrounded by mates is what I miss most.
Still can't see anything changing. |

Plus as has been said as soon as latics drop out of prem (this season for me, sold to much 'quality') they will need us to pay the bills.
I personally dont have a problem with playing at the stadium we do, i dont see why its such a big deal.'"
Fully agreed with you on this.
Right up until 3 o'clock yesterday.
The stadium is definately not home, but it will have to do. |

DW stopped some under 8s playing half time rugby on friday in case they cut up the pitch before the new premier season. My little cousin was gonna play and they were all gutted. How much of a difference would have children under 8 done to the pitch in ten minutes, than the fully grown men playing 80 minutes did?? Miserable old bástard.

A total non starter unless IL sells out to another ambitious Multi Millionaire prepared to 'go it alone'.
We can all dream though!
Lock it.

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

rlTrevor Hemmingsrl was interested in buying the club before Lenegan came into the frame. The rumour was that he pulled out because Whelan wouldn't sell him the stadium in the deal.
He's only worth £1 billion mind  |
