The official Wigan are shit thread

[Escobarp]

Be funny when they have to give us 3 sides of LSV when we finally play them there IF they survive. Fucking sinking ship that. Back to the bottom you go.

Horwich left Grundy Hill for Leigh and I’m fairly sure became Leigh Railway Mechanics Institute which given Leigh’s lack of rail infrastructure I always found ironic.

How much cheaper would LSV be vs renting the DW off the Rugby team? Surely the Rugby team are offering broadly the same terms as they have had. Unless those terms were shite and that’s why they are looking elsewhere

I suppose as it's a smaller stadoum the costs of operating it would be lower, and that could have an impact on the rental price?

I still think it's just a negotiating tactic, though.

All this "Tics" bit gets on my tits, it's far too cute sounding for them scutters.

"Leightics" i'm a tad happier with, from a piss taking point of view.

Still prefer -"Pie eating cunts" though

We should offer to host their games at the reebok

[Mounts Kipper]

If 50% travel to Leigh that’s less than 4K, would think it’ll be less than that.Turd flushing nicely.

Just a ploy to get the rent down for the DW, looks like the twats are going to be saved, however they will have no ground and will hit rock bottom at a rapid rate of knots.

Is there a full-size grass pitch available behind the Bolton Arena?

Administrators have put a statement out on Wigans Official Website this morning - despite playing in the Carabao cup they still dont have permission to start the league season - might be moving towards EFL issuing the 14 days notice  

 

The Joint Administrators recently met with representatives of the EFL for permission from them to start the season on 13 September 2020. We are informed that the board of the EFL are meeting later this week and one of the items is to consider this request. We have kept the EFL informed of the progress of selling the club and we are quietly optimistic that this permission will be given. An update will be given once the board of the EFL have written to us.

[DazBob]

Can they not just play at Colls?  Be ideal for both clubs.

[MickyD]

What was our timeline for the start of last season? Or maybe more importantly, Bury’s timeline.

The EFL should issue a statement to say: "We deny Wigan Athletic permission to start the season. What is more we acknowledge and apologise for the mistake of our predecessors in opening the door to these smelly, scruffy cunts in 1978. They have added very little to Lancashire football or the wider game. It is a pleasure to have this opportunity to bin the bastards off. Believe."

Both Wigan clubs. Both pull similar crowds. Seems logical.

So in other words you are saying the locals are revolting ...
