Quote: The Chair Maker "So please tell me what was wrong then?
enlighten me, as far as i can tell the only thing i got wrong was the fact you now have assets in the form of Orrell training facility.'"


That was the only (wrong) fact in the post. All the rest of it was pure opinion.

Like I say, you're opinion whether right or wrong has no credibility.

You dug your grave, now lie in it.

Anyway, back on track...

Quote: The Chair Maker "The post from me wasnt anti Wigan i was raising IMO very valid points.

You may stick your head in the sand and go lalala, but this deal is bad news for RL as a whole.

Where for example are we going to play international matches west of the pennines if the DW stadium is off bounds?

What happens if Wigan Athletic get into financial difficulties, say following relegation? They may sell the stadium to a developer. A developer who may see the whole site as prime for housing or commercial development.

There are lots of ifs buts and maybe's around this whole affair, and Wigan fans should be deeply concerned.'"


There are lots of ifs surrounding your future stadium, but it's of less importance to us than the future of our own club. A pity you don't reflect that view.

As others have said, your sign-ons don't give you much status on this forum. Wasn't non-racist St Helens the home of fans who greeted Henderson Gill and Ellery Hanley by chucking bananas onto the pitch?

You're a pathetic joke, whose opinion is worth nothing.

Couple of things trouble me about this and I'm happy to admit I've a foot in both camps.

The "giving" of the stadium to Latics just doesn't sit well with me. He's not made his money giving away assets worth millions of pounds, plus as others have pointed out it wasn't that long ago he was going to entrust it to the people of Wigan.

My hunch would be the football club, 5 years into life in the Premier League with its own stadium is a lot easier to sell than one that is mearly a tennent with no asset other than the far from secure Premier League status. It was rumoured pre-credit crunch Hyundi were on the verge of investing, around the same time Cho signed, co-incidence, maybe.

But my worry here is that as last season showed regardless of the lease life could be made very uncomfortable for the rugby especially if the decisions are made by people with no regard, respect or knowledge of our heritage.

But it is also a deliberate jibe at Wigan when there are plenty more people in other RL areas that did the same thing.

Don't be sorry. The guy's idiocy needed highlighting. With any luck, he'll now be enduring his deserved fate.

Aren't most people's sigs a jibe at something or someone?

The fact probably touches a nerve for most of us, we'll just have to live with it.

If we ask people to change their sig because it makes some people uncomfortable with were they come from, what next - deleting threads that upset the club?

To be fair he's also right about us being "asset poor" in the sense that although we own Orrell we owe far more to IL's company (IL's company took over DW's debts) than Orrell is worth (or at least this was the case at 30 November 2007). 2008 accounts hadn't been filed last time I checked so don't know if this has changed significantly enough since.

The Chair Maker same guy who classed an ex-Wigan player diagnosed with hepititas C as 'vermin'.

Unfortunately some of his comments go a little further than just being a ''jibe''.

It's been dealt with anyway.

You do know voters intentions for voting BNP so don't jump to conclusions.

I think there a difference between "Wigan are cr @p" style signatures and making a political point (I am being generous there because having once met this bloke it is, IMO, just part of his bigoted view of all things Wigan i.e he's as bad as those 7K he mentions in his sig).
