To be honest, makes no difference how much money you (or Wigan) have. Game's run by communist clowns who won't let you spend it anyway.

Those kinds of players are rarely around in such abundance these days, certainly all in the same team.

Which also supports my view that we're not in a position to dominate anything. The increase in both the NRL and Union caps means that the majority of the elite British players will now be playing the peaks of their careers in one of those competitions. We've seen a dumbing down and levelling off in Super League recently. So how does one club step up and dominate? You could argue Leeds are dominant, but as Sinfield, Peacock and Burrow retire you could also argue their time is up.

My understanding was that a lot of the grants we got for the stadium were only payable on the completion of the stadium (which is likely to be quite soon) to prevent anyone running off with the money and not delivering.

The club has needed to take out a "bridging loan" to cover the debt between the stadium payment and the payment of the grants. This could have something to do with this or maybe not. But I thought it was worth a mension. Sorry if this has been said before.

No she hasn't. She has just sold on the rights under the lease not the property itself.

Well, I need to tell my parents that because they were convinced they bought the house they have been living in for 25 years. According to their solicitor they had bought it anyway and indeed are free to sell it as their own property. But there is an annual £1 rental to pay to a landlord for the land.
