All part of the game this threat of moving to Leigh I’d imagine.

Can't see that happening, but the longer these admins drag things out you never know.

They want the club to go into liquidation and buy the stadium for a song. Or team up with IL and buy the stadium between us and share the running costs .Each club then pays for their own matches stewarding policing etc.
Lets face it the DW is a big white elephant for both clubs too big. But with proper management the facilities could be used more there are bars under the South and North stand then there is the West stand corporate lounges .All could be used for conferences weddings etc turn Sharpies into a night club or a hotel I believe there is a gym under the East stand.

Would Latics even be allowed to play there? Thought there was rules against standing areas in stadiums unless it is the safe standing with the seats? Has to be said aswell The Sun seem to be the only news outlet currently reporting this so can't say i am convinced it's true.

The council simply can’t afford to buy the stadium.

They could afford to build and own the Leigh Sports Village with a independent company running it.

The same should have happen with the Stadium at Robin Park but for the Council making the the bad mistake of letting Whelan have all his own way, who then ending up selling it for a profit when most of the cost of its construction came from grants and a 14% share of the Council.

More brains in a rocking horse than what took place prior to 1999!

Be fine unless they got back into the Prem.

Brentford had terracing until last season when they moved and Wycombe will have.

It is from The S*n. I’d take it with a lorry load of salt rather than a pinch of it.

Why dont we move to Leigh more compact ground better atmosphere than the DW.

Yeah! Why don't we move out of Wigan to a stadium that is smaller than our average attendance with no rail link? Can't believe we haven't done it already.

Well, if it's not true, there's an awful lot people talking about it on Twitter, with no one making any denials.

The Sun story will do nothing to improve relations between Warriors and Latics supporters.
