Quote: Cruncher "To be absolutely honest though - joking apart - he's really going to struggle to find someone who's known outside Latic fanatic circles.

If they choose some complete non-entity, or someone who was better known for playing at other clubs, it's going to invite hilarity from visiting footie fans.'"


The Titus Bramble stand!

Or his namesake and what Dave Whelan should have been named at birth

"There's also the added impetus with the application to be a host city for the 2018 World Cup that would mean we have to grow the stadium to 40,000 by that time." [/i



Seems like the KC Stadium may get a little bigger in the next few years.

I don't know if anyone's already suggested this, but couldn't Whelan just be giving us this one stand to appease us before he then names the other three stands after latics leg ends?

I know they'd struggle to name one, never mind three, but it's entirely possible. Wouldn't seem such a great gesture then!

Same thought passed my mind although a while back on Cockney Liar or Wigan Today, I forget which, the best they could come up with was some auld kit mon who'd given 30 odd years service. Cheshire Combination League and all.

I'd imagine he would go with one of Alex Cribley (current physio who has been with the club for years and years in I guess a role similar to Keith Mills), Tommy Gore, Harry Lyon or possibly one of the names instrumental in getting us into the FL in 1978.

A club legend doesn't always have to be World known ya plank.

Keith Mills won't be known by many people outside Wigan or indeed RL and nor would Stan Wall much outside St Helens. They are however club legends.

None of whom I would have a scooby about, get real, there's no such thing as a Latics legend.

i'd wager most latics fans wouldn't know who those blokes are. remember what we're constantly being told, that latics have one of the youngest demopgraphics amongst football supporters.
