Somebody's just rung and told me that all the red and white "Central Park" signs have changed to blank plain white, anyone else seen this?
Did IL not get planning permission from the jobsworths or is it vandalism?

More likely the club have asked the signs to come down until they make an official announcement.

I think they've just been covered up until the official announcement / launch.

Yeah it's always a possibility but I don't think the Cuthberts facilities are good enough for our use unless we pumped in quite a bit of money to get them sorted. Although, if we did sell Edge Hall, we'd have the money to do that.

I am hoping that Cuthbert's are more involved than what meets the eye, was only thinking this morning that it would be fab if cuthberts land could be used during the day as it is laying unused at the moment. However I don't think that Cuthbert's has capacity to be used evenings/weekends. Have you ever tried to park along that stretch of road. Its very well used.

For the person who has seen black and white signs, I think that they need an urgent visit to specsavers. I have nearly wet myself. It is opaque plastic covering the signs, taped on with black tape. However the main signage over the doors and the massive wigan crest and central training signs are still there untouched.

The scholarship lads were told at their reviews that they would be training at Pembec this season instead of the East Stand Gym and Abraham Guest. However, we were told that there had been some issues with the proposed 3G pitch/wrestling pit not being ready in time for the start of this years scholarship season so were back to the usual places.

If I remeber correctly we were told that was going to be used by the Education department, Scholar'ship 15's & 16's, and I'm sure they said the 18's & 20's, but it was back in June so I might have got that wrong and plans might have changed as well.

Scols are currently training at Abraham Guest whilst PEMBEC is being finalised. They will still be using the east stand gym according to the launch last week.

18s and 20s will probably use the facility too - they are currently all over the place. Sometimes at Deanery, sometimes at Edge Hall and other times at DW & Robin Park

I am assured that all is well at central park and that it is because of a press launch

Which will be when?

No comment.

can orrell rugby union have their ground back then ?????????????????????????????????????

If they have a couple of million quid.

What's wrong with the back of John Rigby?

No. They aren't good enough, can't afford it and don't need it
