I have 100% faith in IL to bring our club to dizzy new heights on and off the pitch.

It certainly seems no stone is being left unturned, at in certain areas, no expense.

If only the rest of SL was as proactive.

Maybe Leeds are with the Souths game in Florida, if only all the clubs were proactive like you say the game would get a lot better for it.

Wheres this Paul Macleod chappie from? Anyone know much about him

That was more due to Russell Crowe and their deal with Souths though than them actively looking I thought, but yeah, Leeds do get some credit.

A very nice Christmas trip for Hogan and the lads, nothing can match New York around Christmas time.

Just reading the article you get a feeling for just how big professional sport over in the US really is, how much of it will be applicable over here remains to be seen. But still it'll be a worth while trip even if only a smidgen of it can be applied to Wigan.

It's very pleasing the club have ambition both on and off the field & our marketing team should be rightly applauded for their efforts to make us one of the best teams off the field in Super League.

The Heinz link up and the 'Big One' were both excellent ideas & a great success. The new online store and increase in the range of merchandise - as well as the link up with Asda - are all putting the club in the right direction.

It really makes you excited for the future when you read things like this and makes you realise that Lenagan's aim of averaging 20,000 on a regular basis could be achieved with guys like these working for him.

Worth doing imo.

Good move.

IL gets no praise for things like this, but people moan at minor things. This is massive IMO. It shows his ambitions are serious.

Certainly a Positive, However, It helps if you own your own ground??

Well let's not get carried away.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.


Let's see what comes out of this before we heap too much praise on it. It could turn out to be a pre-Xmas jolly in NYC...


However, as I said, a good move if treated correctly and we get results from it.

Spot on.

Its all about outcomes and what we actually do with the information.

why? Inter Milan and AC Milan catch no harm.

Two of the teams they have visited Knicks and Rangers share the garden

I suppose it's all about what type of share your getting. When considering the share between the Milan clubs and those 2 mentioned i'd guess it's 50/50 and both have equal rights which isn't how our ground works unfortunately. We are second class citizens at the DW stadium whatever way we look at it but aslong as the club are clever it shouldn't effect us too much.

Anybody else notice at the Aussie game that the gantry above the West stand has been decked out in blue and white along the front? A petty touch I thought and thats from a fan of both clubs.

Been like that about two years

Really?

Honestly the first time i noticed was against the Aussies and i must have been to the Stadium about 50 times in the past 2 years.

I suppose it's better then the seats being painted blue and white but still I don't see the need for it in a supposed 'shared' stadium.

its red and white when we're at home

Is it? I thought they just took the blue out. Haven't actually seen it red yet.

Yeah i've noticed it red a few times, never known it to be blue at one of our matches

Me neither. It's usually just -white blank white blank- from what I can remember

Fair do's then just me being petty then



or blind.

As long as the agreement is 'shared' then I couldn't care less.

When the tics get relegated it will feel more like ours.

I remember it that way too.
