Come on guys wakey wakey! there's no where near the money in RL to enable IL to buy the stadium, the best thing for the Warriors is for the Latics to stay in the Premier league, Why on earth would you want to put your club in the sort of debt that would take 60 years to pay off. Sorry guys they're the facts!

Exactly what I want to happen.

Forest
QPR
Leeds

All have fans who deserve PL football, latics get poor crowds and are an excuse of a club for one of the biggest league in the world.

I am a united fan but I still think Leeds should be in the PL.

just 3 words.WHELAN,WIDNES,BRADFORD.i am praying they go down.please,please, please.

Even after yesterday, I think we'll survive.

who says we would have to buy the stadium??
the stadium is nothing to do with either team is it?
thought it was owned by that whelco thingy?

Apparently ownership was given to Wigan Athletic AFC and Wigan given a revised 25 year lease.

I got 5-2 on them staying up before the Blackpool game and had a £20 bet on them doing so. Either way I win - £50 profit if they do survive, and watching those pillocks on Cockney Liar self-implode if they dont.

If Latics go down I wonder if the vast majority Latics fans will start supporting Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool or Everton again. Every person that I know who watches Latics now supported one of these pre Latics being in the Premier League.

Think you can bet yer bottom dollar on that pal. The tics struggle to get a full house these days,even against the big teams,always around 5/6 Thou below capacity. I'll stick mi neck out and say IFthey go down,you're looking at crowds of about 10-12,000.

It was supposed to happen a year ago, but I'm not sure if it ever did.

A good question for the forthcoming fans forum?

Hope it's on a Wednesday.

My thoughts exactly mate. Arent PNE about to get relegated?!

Anyway Latics staying up is no better for us than them going down. We have a lease and if they are in Championship then it is less important and therefore they dont have as much of a reasonable reason to kick us out or move our games about.

I think people are forgetting one other thing too. Our lease gives us quite a good legal standing. If Latics DO go bust then our lease will probably not become null and void (I hope I'm right there) and so if Auditors come in then noone can buy the land the stadium is on because of our lease on it needing to be upheld so either we would benefit from someone buying it and having to uphold our lease, giving us however long the lease now is, to build our own stadium or, the preferred option, it would give us the opportunity to buy it at a cut price and become the saviors of the Latics again giving us eternal bragging rights all over again
