And the good news is, they can’t spend what they can’t afford for two seasons 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing them heading back towards their level is better fun than seeing them go pop. Defeat after defeat is demoralising.

Take Hunt Off Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Basically Cristy or Crusty whatever his name is , is out but the Spaniard bid is still in the frame & favoured by the admins.So on it goes .Wigan bugle trumpeting a local business man who has connections with Far Eastern companies (de ja vu) has a bid lined up , just waiting for the green light .Expectations being pumped up again only to be punctured by the admins who already have their preferred bidder who from day one will have the supporters against them.

Why would BWFC want to move 6 miles to the council refuse tip in Horwich? Because someone on the board owned a construction company and would make a nice few quid out of it.It can surely be the only reason for Wigan's 4,000 fans needing a 30,000 stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Hunt Off Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Fan base of 11-12k he says (Mabe he's including away fans!) Already feet of clay . Doesn't sound like a Wigginer Yon interviewer asked a couple of good questions , answers not that convincing .Private hospitals in Wiggin as part of the 'community' along with profit making schools ! Rugby never mentioned. The key 'sustainable ' & growing the fanbase are both non starters. Anyway Spaniards are in box seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
