I remember stating this a couple of years ago, only for the thread to reach 15 pages of angry wiganers who didnt know how to search "companies house" in google saying I was lying.

The 25 years lease has been in the accounts for years.

Think it corresponds with the takeover by Lenegan - in which case we have 22 years left on the current lease.

It'll be interesting to see what kind of state Wigan Athletic are in, in 22 years time. I don't think they'll be on dictating terms when it comes to the stadium personally but we shall see.

They will be bust but so will a shedload of other football clubs if they carry on like they are! We are in a strong position at the moment and im looking forward to how things pan out over the next few seasons.

Well done. You've probably sent at least half a dozen Latics men to bed happy tonight safe in the belief that they are a lot closer to getting shut than they previously thought.

Is there any other point to the post than this? The rest sounds pretty obvious to me.

Don't be silly, the numbers are tiny compared to the amount of money WAFC need to stay in the prem, and it shows IL is a master business man.

What's the problem with the info posted?

Seriously some people really need to let their Latics insecurities go. We've just won our first title in over a decade, we're in the strongest position we've been both on and off the pitch for God knows how long, we have a coaching set-up who look light years ahead of what we've had for ages, we have an owner who looks to have a well developed sensible long-term plan for success for the club and all you can think of is what some Latics fans will think of a series of FACTS about the club's accounts. Get a grip FFS.

This thread has been posted on Cockney Latic, God knows why as it means nowt.

But co-incidentally this article was also posted on there rlhttp://www.cockneylatic.co.uk/index.php?option

What the hell is a cockney latic anyway? Were all the football fans from Wigan, Chelsea fans or something until Wigan got into the prem?

Dunno, but they live in 'Mudhuts'.

There's about 3 or 4 of them from Wigan on there ,the rest are from all over the place.
Look at the moderators avatar picture (jayt) he looks like a friggin umpalumpa.

Who is person that signed us up for only a 25 years lease when we moved surley what was they thinking ?

TBF JAYT seems an alreet bloke, talks some sense unlike the VAST majority of the clowns on there. Ive no problems with some of the old timers having a 'pop' at WRLFC fans as there was some 'mudslinging' going on in the 80`s and 90`s but I aint taking no sh ite from the many many post 2005 'ive been watching `em for 25 years' brigade, and im pretty sure we all know plenty of them.
