Bollox, you arent allowed in your RENTED stadium, unlike Fev, who OWN their stadium and all the land round it, in real terms they have more financial assets than Wigan

Have you got me on ignore?

No did I didn't notice you said anything? (Well to me)

and how much profit do they generate again? or even how much assets do they own? people seem to forget wigan have a stadium they use as a training ground! And really you think a friendly would generate enough money to pay for the usage of the DW don't talk stupid.

By the way central park and Orrell training ground is owned by wigan so compare the assets don't think they do if i am honest.

Central Park?

I thought it was a Tesco now?

I'm going to assume starbug this is the question you were referring me to not answering?

Can you explain to me how any club in the championship would not need hundreds of thousands from somewhere to become minor premiers.

The fact is Huddersfield have the money (through a rich backer) and so spent it, if he pulled out, I would expect Huddersfield to align their spending accordingly, until that point will continue to do so for the sake of on field success.

Would you say Chelsea are poorly run - as they have needed hundreds of millions poured into them over the last 5 years?

Thats interesting i always thought DW bought Orrell out

You suggested Huddersfield were ' well run ' , quantify that if they need massive financial support?

Chelsea, like Manchester City are charities, not businesses

magic beetle beat me to it, but yes its still another asset even though its not clear on who owns it completely or if its shared venture but its still another asset to go along with www.wiganwarriors.com/WContent.aspx?id=41

apparently not or i have no idea why Leneghan would invest 2 million quid to develop the gym.

' Owned ' ? , are you sure of that ?

Was always under the assumption orrell was since IL took over,

I suggested they were better ran than village teams (I believe, this was a while ago, and a lot of points have been raised in this discussion!)

You can consider Huddersfield a charity too then

(I honestly don't know enough about their financial situation to have a discussion about it, I admit I went off their recent on field success as an assumed indicator, if this is not the case, I retract my comments)

Orrell perhaps, ( it'll do fine in 2016 in the Championship ) but ' Central Park ' , no chance

Fev are sat on around 8 acres owned by the club, not the clubs owner

Yes they are

Fair enough

And how would you know who owns it?

I think you will find that the Orrell is owned by the club and not IL. Also i have no idea how much Fev land is worth but there must be reason they haven't developed or sold it? I know Orrell is worth quite a lot and if Wigan Didn't have a 14-16 thousand average attendance it could be developed into Wigan's Stadium but as it is it suits a purpose and is still an asset that somebody tried to make out wigan didn't have.

Is central park the baby of DW and Ainscough?

Fair enough, nice of Mr Leneghen to buy you somewhere to call home , Fev havent sold PO road because they havent ever put themselves in a position of having to, unlike your good selves and a few other ' better run ' SL clubs

According to a (albeit quick) google search, Central Park is owned by central training limited (or at least appears so) which, in turn is owned by Jeanette Williams.

I can't find any link between her and the club, but maybe a Wigan fan knows better.

Anyway this is getting some way off topic ...

Thats the Youth Zone in the town centre

You thoroughly deserve to have a shot at the big time IMO.

It must have been an insufferable six years watching your team win league after league, however, you appear to believe the majority of Wakefield fans are totally against promotion & relegation.

This is far from the truth, the problem many have is the method which it is to be implemented. Many would rather see a straight one up / one down, with a season’s exception, quite a few would prefer two up / two down.

Yes you finally can see a glimmer of light, but the method that has been agreed gives underperforming teams in the SL a second bite of the cherry which will impede your own clubs aspirations.

He started it

Thanks for that.
Oh to have your own council and your own multi millionaires
