Since when are running costs rent? Do you call your utility bills and council tax, rent?
Where did you get your info from on who pays what proportion of the running costs of the DW?
Quote: shambawangy " the flip side though If they did drop like a stone, what is to stop IL going to buy the DW outright? This would add a huge amount of corporate and matchday revenue that currently goes to Welco (Whelan)'"
Maybe a lack of £20m-£30m might be a bit of a problem for Lenegan, that's if the Latics wanted to sell in the first place - why they would is anyone's guess, especially as it's a relatively new ground and the maintenance will be relatively low still. |

Come on guys wakey wakey! there's no where near the money in RL to enable IL to buy the stadium, the best thing for the Warriors is for the Latics to stay in the Premier league, Why on earth would you want to put your club in the sort of debt that would take 60 years to pay off. Sorry guys they're the facts!

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Exactly what I want to happen.
Forest
QPR
Leeds
All have fans who deserve PL football, latics get poor crowds and are an excuse of a club for one of the biggest league in the world.
I am a united fan but I still think Leeds should be in the PL. |

Apparently ownership was given to Wigan Athletic AFC and Wigan given a revised 25 year lease. |

75-0 Gets you Nothing.
27-0 Gets you a trophy.
18-10 Gets you eternal bragging rights!:simpsons/PDT13.gif |

| Quote: MattyB "I still think they will stay up.'"
I got 5-2 on them staying up before the Blackpool game and had a £20 bet on them doing so. Either way I win - £50 profit if they do survive, and watching those pillocks on Cockney Liar self-implode if they dont. |

If Latics go down I wonder if the vast majority Latics fans will start supporting Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool or Everton again. Every person that I know who watches Latics now supported one of these pre Latics being in the Premier League.

Think you can bet yer bottom dollar on that pal. The tics struggle to get a full house these days,even against the big teams,always around 5/6 Thou below capacity. I'll stick mi neck out and say IFthey go down,you're looking at crowds of about 10-12,000. |

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 was supposed to happen a year ago, but I'm not sure if it ever did.
A good question for the forthcoming fans forum? |

My thoughts exactly mate. Arent PNE about to get relegated?!
Anyway Latics staying up is no better for us than them going down. We have a lease and if they are in Championship then it is less important and therefore they dont have as much of a reasonable reason to kick us out or move our games about.
I think people are forgetting one other thing too. Our lease gives us quite a good legal standing. If Latics DO go bust then our lease will probably not become null and void (I hope I'm right there) and so if Auditors come in then noone can buy the land the stadium is on because of our lease on it needing to be upheld so either we would benefit from someone buying it and having to uphold our lease, giving us however long the lease now is, to build our own stadium or, the preferred option, it would give us the opportunity to buy it at a cut price and become the saviors of the Latics again giving us eternal bragging rights all over again
