I suggested they were better ran than village teams (I believe, this was a while ago, and a lot of points have been raised in this discussion!)

You can consider Huddersfield a charity too then (I honestly don't know enough about their financial situation to have a discussion about it, I admit I went off their recent on field success as an assumed indicator, if this is not the case, I retract my comments)

Yes they are

Fair enough

And how would you know who owns it?

I think you will find that the Orrell is owned by the club and not IL. Also i have no idea how much Fev land is worth but there must be reason they haven't developed or sold it? I know Orrell is worth quite a lot and if Wigan Didn't have a 14-16 thousand average attendance it could be developed into Wigan's Stadium but as it is it suits a purpose and is still an asset that somebody tried to make out wigan didn't have.

Is central park the baby of DW and Ainscough?

Fair enough, nice of Mr Leneghen to buy you somewhere to call home , Fev havent sold PO road because they havent ever put themselves in a position of having to, unlike your good selves and a few other ' better run ' SL clubs

According to a (albeit quick) google search, Central Park is owned by central training limited (or at least appears so) which, in turn is owned by Jeanette Williams.

I can't find any link between her and the club, but maybe a Wigan fan knows better.

Anyway this is getting some way off topic ...

If I didn't love my club I would of walked away from this game years ago.. This has given me a bit of hope and belief back and if that sound selfish so be it.
Iv spent thousands watching my club iv been to every home and away game for last 5 years including Toulouse (which I really enjoyed).
So let's just see how this all pans out I think it will be ok bug I might be wrong time will tell.

You thoroughly deserve to have a shot at the big time IMO.

It must have been an insufferable six years watching your team win league after league, however, you appear to believe the majority of Wakefield fans are totally against promotion & relegation.

This is far from the truth, the problem many have is the method which it is to be implemented. Many would rather see a straight one up / one down, with a season’s exception, quite a few would prefer two up / two down.

Yes you finally can see a glimmer of light, but the method that has been agreed gives underperforming teams in the SL a second bite of the cherry which will impede your own clubs aspirations.
