I think its safe to say Rugby being played at wembley is safe.

well..until they have payed off the laughable amount of money they spent on the stadium.

they need the dosh from the games

Like it would concern you, or many of us, in 50 years time. A lot of us will be dead and buried by then.

The RFL is a partner in the stadium anyway.

Yes, but Pemps would still be only 37....

After reading the comments on there I have to say in every true sense of the word many of the people, not all btw, who post on that board are scum. I wouldn't even bat an eyelid if they all jumped off the talest building in town.

I don't hate Wigan Ath. In don't watch their games and I don't look out for their results either. So why do fans like me who have little interest in them or their results spark such hated comments on that board?

The sooner we get our own ground the better.

The names they have for us are hilarious, but the best for me has to be Wigan W*nkstains. I've heard our team been referred to quite a lot, but that takes the biscuit.

The most amusing thing though is the general conception that we are all 'fat' as supporters and that our players are 'chubby'. Now if only someone could tell us the body fat percentage of some of the players at the club we could put an end to that foolish idea once and for all.

Having read yesterday's Observer, I would love to believe Uncle Dave when he says he would sue the FA if plans came into remove dual use at the stadium.

However this is the same Uncle Dave who said:

"I will NEVER buy a foreign Manager", two months before he bought Martinez.

He said that the stadium would be bequeathed 50% each to the football team & the Rugby Team, he then went back on his word and said it would be given in full to Latics.

Sorry Mr. Whelan but for me if he said it was red hot and sun shining outside I'd go and put my coat on!

I'm hoping not to be dead by then!

Another example that the guy can't lie straight in bed!


Whelan believes it would be a coup if the Football Association could persuade Manchester United manager Ferguson to become director of football.
"I'm not against England having a foreign manager," Whelan told a newspaper. "But I do want somebody with some passion for the English team and for English pride'"

I am a third generation Wigan RL fan. My two lads are fourth generation.

We owe it to the kids (and our future grandkids) surely.
