Plus any increase in revenue from beer sales and othe rmatchday income would be offset against a huge increase in running costs - which we currently do not pay for.
I honestly cannot see how it could be financially viable even over the long term without a third party involvement (like the local authority funding the build etc or without a significant chunk of money from land sales etc as is happening at other clubs) and even then given the length of the season to make a ground pay it would have to be generating income in the off season.

Officially RLFAN's most Doe-eyed Happy Clapper.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

In return, you can take advantage of our middle class south Manchester location, which has been yearning for the arrival of an exciting, go-ahead club like yours. The new name of this joint venture will be 'Wigan and Sale Sharks', which of course will change again five years from now to 'Sale Sharks'. "
Let's go for it. I mean, what have we got to lose?'"
So is that a no?  |

I played there once, but that was decades ago.
I know what you mean, however.
Perhaps Sale's real plan is to turf us out and groundshare the DW with Latics?

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

If we're going to build a new stadium then the time is now, with construction companies going bust left right and centre the build cost won't be as much as in previous years.
I had no idea IL owned Oxford United, maybe he sees that club as a major investment, get them competing in a decent Division a flog them to fund Wigan RLs new stadium and dominance for years to come.

I hate to keep doing this but all I can say is that the latest one is closer. Not quite on
(with what I'm led to believe is happening) it doesn't mean it's true. Don't all come back in a few weeks asking why I led u on if nothing happened. Can only presume what I've been told is true. |
