| I think every club will get a material uncertainty over going concern modification in their accounts this year. The business I work for which has millions in the bank is having an argument with our auditors as to why it's not required and we're still trading. |

| Quote: NickyKiss "Ian Lenagan goes down as a legend of this club for me. We were in a mess when he took over and since then the club has been transformed. Every decision may not have been popular but he’s got most right and has been fantastic for us. If he is going to sell up then he will be missed IMO. This new guy has plenty of money but any change of ownership always brings worry. I just hope we stick to the model of developing our own and giving the youth its chance.'"
The mess as you call it was nothing compared to the mess the club was in at the end of the seventies under the then board of twelve Directors when the gang of four gained control of the club.
But for them, the club would have faced being declared bankrupt.
If Ian Lenagan is a legend, the gang of four were gods in the eyes of many supporters at the time.

I suggest that some of you need to look at the comment by a Manchester City supporter called 'O Years' on Wigan World about what he thinks about Wigan Warriors and some of its supporters.

If he's being negative, it would hardly be a surprise.
Back in the late 80s - long before Whelan bought Latics - we committed a big sin in the eyes of many footy fans by becoming a major sports story that didn't concern a round ball.
That's usually all there is to it. |

The delicious irony in that is that the “gang of four” damn nearly ended Wigan RL in its entirety.
Conveniently forgot that bit eh? |

You sure can tell who are the new kids on the block who have never experienced the great times of Central Park!
Times that will never be repeated at Whelans Folly!

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

It's easy to remember the great days at Central Park. I was sat on the ringside when the record crowd of 47,747 was achieved.
However it wasn't all sweetness and light was it? what about some the sub 10K attendances even in the "gang of four" glory years?
As I've mentioned to you before the average attendances at JJB/DW are higher than the same period at CP.

btw Where were you the night we got relegated? |

Who you aiming that at? There are a growing number of supporters on here that are from a post CP era. Does that make them any less fans than you? I certainly don't feel that way.
By the way.... link? |

Good point, best team in the world and could only manage averages of 14.5k, still good times though.
