Dave Whelan

Personally it doesnt change the fact my dislike for Dave Whelan, unfortunately once again there is NOTHING we can do about it, unless you know someone who can slip him some cash to change his mind. The final straw with Whelan was the Widnes/Play off game last year, he showed his true colours towards the rugby.

Care to copy and paste my post that suggests I'm not bothered?

He's no mug whelan, i would'nt be surprised if in the next few weeks he buys JJB fitness back and renames them DW fitness. Everything he does has money at the root of it.

I do feel for your club though, its a bit of a kick in the teeth of the fans

Oh. Well he owns it. So I suppose he can call it what he likes.

Its irritating but what can you do at the end of the day? There's more important things going on to bother worrying about stuff like this.

Correct. And thats why some of us object. I wouldn't say it's a kick in the teeth as such. Maybe its his way of saying sorry - you know "This is MY stadium for the use of the town's teams" - but it's having the opposite effect for me.

For the record though, as a one off, the Widnes thing didn't bother me too much, though I appreciate saying that is a bit like being in Afghanistan and slagging off Mohammed.

have a look yourself, Alex. You've got eyes.

Agreed

I can honestly say i dont give a flyer about this..us having a good team and a healthy club is more important than the name of the stadium

I know St Helens is several years behind everywhere else, but...

I have and I can't find one?

Nothing has been confirmed yet.

that is exactly what has happened

Whoa, whoa, whoa cool your jets Che Guevara. Stop trying to paint yourself as some sort of revolutionary. Your opinion is valid and I understand it perfectly well. In fact your in the majority with that opinion. The fact that the issue doesn't bother me enough to throw a hissy fit shouldn't concern you and really shouldn't raise concerns that all us mods are 'in it together'.

The move to Widnes did annoy me last year but I've come to accept that we play second fiddle to a money making machine (Premier League). Unfortunate, but that's the way it is. The stadium is being named after his fitness/sports business which is named after himself as a lot of businesses are.

I didn't hear Che Guevara suggest he was in the free country. Quite the opposite...

Alright then, Citizen Smith

suppose its only the same as reading football club thats named after there owner Madejski stadium will it have a big Dave Whelan spinning round like the JJB one ?

Pemps do us a favor check my grammer never really spoke that good england ever since i was a children !

I am not a mod and I don't care what the stadium's called, as long as I still get to sit in my cool West Stand seat.

I think this is the point. That many people aren't happy with the situation but have "accepted" it. Agreed, there is nothing we can do about it, but it still churns like a ba5tard.

With regards to the stadium name, I do care what its called, and I will not be calling it the DW Stadium. How self righteous can you get?

Nowt a lot rong with that fella.

fanks for cheking !

It mite be to late by than if they make europe cant imagine them playing thur n sun at home and were still in the play offs at home.

I wonder if 'DW' will repalce 'JJB' when it comes to the seats?

Just 'Wigan' in all three would look superb.

DW Stadium?





Dear me.

I have heard the red seats well be changed to white
