Please read the sun page 57 Karen Brady who is on the board at west ham and the FA has said that in a couple of years rugby clubs WILL NOT be allowed to groundshare with football.

Groundhog Day. I wouldn't worry there's a few football pitches on scot lane they can play there.

That's where any credence to the 'story' is lost.

If this was to be the case (which i doubt) IL would certainly have made a statement already about future plans.

Mmhmm... legal minefield. We've got a lease until 2059, cancelling the lease early will incur serious financial penalties, and are the FA going to pay that for us and the other teams who ground share with Rugby (League & Yawnion)? Strongly doubt it.

I guess the Sun must've heard someone on Karen Brady's voicemail saying that they wished Football didnt groundshare with Rugby and it would only take a couple of years to get it pushed through.

Indeed. I take it she thinks it'll be ok to share with athletics.

A modest fraction of the sort of money they routinely throw away on one failed England manager after another should be enough to secure us a new stadium.

I hope the FA have a bottomless pit of money ready for when they lose the various court cases for instigating breach of contract. Then again it's the Sun and Karen Brady so it'll be complete bollox.

Who actually owns the DW? Is it Wigan Athletic, WWRLFC or both? (Or neither?)

Neither, it's owned by Dave Whelan (Whelco) with (I think) a small percentage by Wigan council.

PANIC!!!!!

It'll all be okay

The way I see it we're in a 'win-win' situation regardless:

* Premier League Rules are not changed for clubs with existing leases, no change - WIN.

* Premier League Rules changed and (assuming WAFC are still the the PL) Wigan RL are paid millions in compensation, new ground built - WIN.


Nowt will happen though.

This is a non starter, the FA can't wave off legal contracts, lets face it many stadia even like Wembley rely on "other" events to keep the coffers coming in.

And that's precisely the reason she should be in the kitchen sorting out her family's Christmas dinner.

Merry Christmas boys n girls

What half-baked drivel...see how the men look at her with utter contempt.

Classic and, in this instance, quite apt.

C'mon do me a favour, Karen Brady

, if she's the voice of sport for the future then i'm gonna give up now and start watching ballet

, the woman has always been and always will be a joke...my family (and i) originate from Birmingham , and this woman is something of a joke in those parts thanks to the shambles she was involved in at Birmingham City....Ignore anything the daft bint says..

Karen Brady at West Ham does n't need to concern herself with Premier League rules.

Hmmmmm Karen Brady and west ham who are bidding to become tenants of a stadium that will definitely be shared with athletics and also possibly a rugby union team or an NFL team!! The words engage brain before opening mouth spring to mind!

I don't believe the date on the front of the sun never mind anything inside it!

It'll be wrong now anyway

I dont care if the article is right. As you said the FA will have to payout millions to us and we can just build our own and it'll be better because ours will have Blackjack and and hookers.

Looked on the football licensing authority and couldn't find anything. www.inbrief.co.uk/football-law/f ... hority.htm I can't see this coming in.

Kick out the football teams always kicking and slide tackling up our playing fields.
