Surely there must be a bed shop in Chorley called that, or something.

I think that picture should hang in the boardroom of all clubs as a warning of what happens when clubs management lives beyond its means for a short period of success. Wigan's "glorious" history was tossed on the 80s bonfire for the sake of 8 challenge cup wins. They not only threw away their home, but also mortgaged their future, and now find themselves as tennants of a footy club who treats them as second rate neighbours. Was the success really worth it?

TO be fair to Wigan it actually was.

They landed on their feet. But not all clubs do and some go to the wall and are never seen again.

Renting is no indicment of a club, alot of successful sporting clubs rent. I beleive alot of Stadia in Auz and the USA rent their stadia.

Ownership is not a requirement of success, I'm sure NExt and M&S rent most of their buildings, they are not overly concerned about owning them to make themselves more successful.
