is did it was signed over from Whelan to Wigan Football Company Ltd, who in tern was owned by Wigan Athletic Holdings Ltd

The stadium was owned by Wigan Athletic Holdings as was the training ground. The club was owned by Wigan Athletic FC Ltd. It was done so that the assets could never be taken from WAFC should they go bust.

No monies from the stadium were ever paid to the football club they all went to the holdings company which was basically Whelco DW's family business.

Many do, but these days expect some cover from the weather, which is not the case for visiting supporters at Leeds.

Unless of course you want to stand in the East and West Stands incognito!

Why not simply say: What has any of this got to do with Stuart Fielden instead of using modern day film and television language?

What are you on about, I was only making the point that we do not have a stadium of our own thanks to our Council not helping the club in the same way that the Councils of St Helens and Warrington helped their clubs to find sites and grant planning permission for their Stadiums to be built.

Nothing to do with how you stood at Central Park!

And where would you put this new stadium that you are on about?,as long as we have a nice ground to play in i couldn't care less

According to company house it was owned by Wigan football company and they in tern were mainly owned by the holding company, so yeah it would have gone into their coffers

It didn't, and that comes from being in meetings with the chief exec discussing multiple facets of the club and how it was/is run.

so whelan either lied to him or the government

Keep believing wigan athletic are in some desperate need for wigan rugby, but the fact is....they aren't

The new owners of WAFC have come out and publicly stated that they are. Read the news lad.

Losing a tenant would be a risk to any business in the same way it would be to someone who rents out a house. If Wigan rugby were to move out then the stadium would lose income. If it didn't make it back from additional weddings or party nights then it could be in trouble yes. Nowhere does it say Latics can't survive.

Thats your opinion, which in my opinion means nothing. Nowhere does it say they could survive either.
Move along

Well they've managed for years

A bit of rain never hurt anyone and Leeds aren't allowed to put a roof on the away end because of the housing situated behind

They should buy them houses and knock them down.

That was the situation, but Leeds now have plans to develop that end over the next few years. Will make it the best ground in the comp that.

That is an option for sure. The public footpath behind is also an issue but as i just posted it is something i am told they are looking to resolve.

Will that involve the removal of the houses behind the Western Terrace as what I have been told by a Leeds supporter, that is the problem of why a covered stand has never been built.

In an age when the country is short of housing, i dont think its a good idea to buy houses and knock them down just so a rugby club can stick a roof on a stand.

Be reet.

Liverpool did it to rebuild part of their stadium, no reason why Leeds can’t! Plus the club would have to pay for the re housing of any displaced occupants.

Whats putting a roof on a stand got to do with a housing shortage?

The houses need to be knocked down to do so?
