Quote ="WIld Goose"For me as a supporter of Rugby League and a follower of Wigan, I thank God that Saints have their new stadium. Seeing Saints get attendances that are more in line with their standing as a top rugby league club can only be good for the game. Likewise, DW is a fantastic ground, especially when full and rented or not, it provides a superb arena for Wigan Saints matches. Both clubs would take big revenue hits if the other wasn't there and Rugby League would be a much poorer game.
I certainly envy Saints having their own ground and also the way the club made the transition from KR to LP without the strife Wigan had when Central Park had to go. Some of the financial transactions during that period and dodgy accounting practises dragged the Wigan name through the mud and in turn the name of Rugby League. When Ian Lenegan took over he was very blunt in stating that there would be an end to the shady dealings and that things would be run properly.
In Eamonn McManus and Ian Lenegan, the two top rugby league clubs have good direction and hopefully they will keep both clubs in good shape so that we can keep rugby leagues most valuable rivalry going for ever.'"
A sensible & fair-minded wi*aner? Whatever next?
