State of the art
Yeah, it’s challenging Spurs new stadium when it comes to the high tech stakes. Think you’ve added prawn cocktail to your crisps selection this season.

Irrespective of whom we pay the rent, the fact remains, that thanks to Wigan Council and their love affair with Dave Whelan, not got a Stadium to call our own!

The rent money has never previously been paid to Wigan Athletic so I would presume they could survive perfectly well.
The new owners stated they wouldn't be removing the rugby as it makes business sense to receive money for nothing.

I'm not on about the rent it's the money that they make from the alcohol and food kiosks and if we weren't there it would stand empty for 3-4 months plus when latics play away from home,if you add all the days up it would be a lot for a stadium to be unused

None of which has previously gone to Wigan Athletic nor has any income from events held there practically weekly throughout the year.
The stadium and football club were two seperate companies officially owned by two seperate entities. Latics do now benefit from all of those as the businesses were combined during the takeover.
