Maybe just for 1 season?

He's openly admitted he's been looking in the middle east for a buyer but i just can't see Latics being that attractive an option for any of these cashed up arabs.

The fact that they get the lowest crowds in the Premier League will put people off straight away.

who are chelsea.........and certainly not latics.

I thought that accolade went to Fulham?

i'll take everton off the list then

i can see sheikh (SP?) a,b,c,d, sailing up the leeds-liverpool in his million dollar yatch trying to find his way to the DW!

good man !

can just imagine a bloke in a white dress a tea towl on his head opening the locks !

Fulham's have risen impressively - averaged around 23,000 last season I think (higher than Bolton, Blackburn, Latics and Portsmouth)

I've been perusing the Land Registry Direct service in my lunch hour to see what I can find of interest on there without racking up loads of fees. I have found a registered freehold title in favour of the Council and a registered leasehold title in favour of the Wigan Football Company Limited (lease is for 99 years from 4 August 1999). The Land Registry Day List indicates that the WFCL leasehold interest is shortly to be transferred to Dave Whelan Sports Limited. There is no registered leasehold title in favour of Wigan RL but I wouldn't expect the document we use the stadium under to be a lease so that is no surprise. It's more likely to be some sort of licence or other occupational agreement that won't be registrable.

It will cost me about £30 to apply for copies of the WFCL lease and a deed that might be relevant. I therefore can't be bothered as I have better things to spend £30 on at the moment but if anyone wishes to stump up I will fill in the forms with pleasure!



Interestingly, there is also a separate registered leasehold title for 'The changing rooms, JJB Stadium..'! This indicates that there is a separate lease in place for the changing rooms which is a bit random.

Does that £30 include your fees, as a solicitor?

Can she fill in a form in 10 seconds?

No, that is a separate £19848634934232. Per hour.

Vicki - not sure if you're aware but Wigan Football Club Limited was Wigan RL's legal name up until Lenegan took over. It is now Wigan Rugby League Club Ltd.

It it could be that the lease does actually refer to the rugby club. Or more likely, the lease refers to the OLD holding company, and that Lenegan's WRLC Ltd took out a NEW lease when he bought the club.

If the Changing rooms have a separate lease, can we not just get Leneghan to take it, and then charge Latics to get changed in the stadium

personally im not one bit bothered about the lease to the stadium, at the end of the day nothing much is changing at all, dave whelan is owner of latics so its pretty much their ground anyway, but dont worry when they end up in league 1 they will be back where they belong.

It said Wigan Football Company

Meaning what? If 1p of my money goes to the football it is 1p too much.

Isn't this just a way of DW borrowing money for Latics to fund the transfers apparently promised to their new manager against the value of the stadium, thus saving DW dipping into his own pocket to do it?

I am not to bothered about all this, Latics will be relegated a few divisions eventually, not saying that because I hate latics I just think it will happen.

Nope Latics came bottom in average attendances 18,350

Always, for ever, refer to our ground as the JJB stadium never the - - stadium.
This will annoy Whelan more than anything.
Lets never see - - stadium used on this site ever again and sod him.

THE JJB STADIUM IS OUR HOME

I call it Robin Park anyway.

This must have been coming for some time handing the stadium back to the people of wigan like he has already promised and naming a stand after 1 if not the best ever player to pull on a wigan shirt was just a sweetner.
