Still on a positive note, if Latics are in Europe, the stadium will probably be referred to as Robin Park anyway by UEFA. Their rules state that the name of any stadium named after a company that is not an official sponsor of a UEFA will not be used in any material relating to that tournament.

The Emirates Stadium is referred to as Arsenal Stadium in UEFA literature, for instance.

Isn't that's just the "Champions" League as they have 8 or so official sponsors who have to be given all the advertising sites in the stadium? Don't think the same applies to the "Wafer" Cup or Europa League as it will be known next season, although not 100% sure.

How long ago was it that big hearted dave was all over the press spouting about leaving the ground to the people of Wigan? Yeah, right.
I do wonder what happened to Donna's thread about the council and ground sharing, or is Smith more interested in getting us down to LSV?

So we all agree we will be calling it Robin Park?

Wouldn't have thought we'd ALL agree, but I probably will

I've been out tonight and I'm actually quite ratarsed.

I also care a lot, so that probably urinates on your argument a bit.

And what has changed since? Other than the stadium sponsor?

Richie Mathers Arena would of been more fitting.

Those bothered should be thankful it wasn't called the Noel Ward or Tommy Gore Stadium.
