even if he does only act in his own interest, we have undoubtedly benefitted from his actions, whether he meant it or not.

We would, but FYI its Horwich

Without getting into this one again!

Wasn't the JJB only given planning permission on the proviso it was a shared stadium and if so, who needed who most?

I seem to recall this was the statement given out at the time

Who cares?

Maybe he was there to watch his hometown team get murdered?

and his boys took one hell of a beating......

When Mr Whelan announced in the local press the other week that he was going to open a lads and girls club, I was reading it in the local shop and of course having a chunner along the lines of, omg please don't tell me the man is going to do something I may have to like him for.

Our shopkeeper, who I hadn't realised knew anything about Rugby, but does have a degree in business began to tell me that he had been studying him for years, all through his education and assured me that he won't be doing this for philanthropic reasons it will be solely for some profit.

It didn't reassure me really, if this lads and girls club does come out of the planning stage into reality; even though he annihalated Orrell and tried to do the same with us, he will actually go up in my estimations.

And I am dreading that day, its the chuckle of the month at work, two extremes are meeting. My passion for work with young people and Mr Whelan.

Welll you wouldnt beleive it
