Conroy - you strike me as a reasonable individual who supports both clubs.
I don't want to turn this thread into a Wigan RL v Latics hate thread, but a genuine question has to be how far Wigan RL bankrolled the rise of the Latics? IMO, it was significant.
Oh BTW, my team also reached that same cup final

| Oh dear what a shocker.
I saw the new 'DW' bit on the outside when I went to the cinema on Wednesday and thought it looked absolutely she-ite, that pic has confirmed it.
As for the seats

| I went past yesterday. The 'A' on the Billy Boston stand looks utterly ridiculous, I don't even know how you can balls something like that up, so badly.

Can't believe you still go to that cinema
As for the seats - they looked bloody awful on the bit of "extra time" I saw when I got home from the game. That "Wigan" is so unsymetrical its not even funny.
The DW didnt look as bad with the black seat outline.

| The offset lettering in each of the stands seems to have been done for the benefit of the TV Studio. Makes sense in a way that they look right for that reason as it's on tv where you'll see inside the stadium when it's empty.
Still naff though isn't it.

| Anyone else think that the signs/seat writing 'WIGAN' and 'DW' looks appalling and tacky?
I saw it on the Sky+ replay and it looked awful. A rushed job IMO.
DW get your hand in your pocket you tight b@stard!

| The DW bit doesn't look to bad, but the way Wigan has been put on the stand is terrible it's neither straight nor the right thickness in parts, a very poor job, thankfully you cant see it when people are sat down.

| The DW looks decent enough with the blackoutline now in place, you would hope something similar is being done in the East to fix the lettering. Hope being the operative word.

Could not agree more.
The revolving DW sign is even worse as you approach the stadium.

you would hope so, but from what I've been told Whelan has decided not too. The reason is cost - at £4 a seat.
£100,000 for the whole stadium - peanuts for a PL team.

I saw it on SSN and it looked embarrassing on there!
For a PL and SL stadia, the DW looks aesthetically poor.

| If ALL we have to moan and worry a few letters in the Stadium that you can't see when people are in their seats, then I'll be delighted.
Who cares?
Who's bothered what the stands are called?
Does it really matter?
This message board gets more like a primary school playground by the day.
It's Whelans Stadium. He puts the money in to call it what he likes, and quite rightly.
I don't have to like the man to sit in his Stadium, but I'd be bigger fool to let it stop me going or move my seat to the Boston stand although Billy is one of my all time heroes.

| I've heard the Boston Stand will be having the black outline done over the next fortnight, the reason for the imbalance in the lettering is due to the shadow effect the black is to create.
The actual DW letting is very good and it is only let down aesthetically by the fact it isn't ed within either stand. ATEOD though if Wigan continue to play like that in the DW stadium then I'll be a happy bunny, maybe it's the start of a new era...
