The stadium will be on freecycle soon. Who else is going to have it other than us? No point in paying anything for it. It will be there for anybody who wants to take it. What a delicious twist of fate it would be if their precious blue seats end up being a sea of red ones I am loving their misery. All the garbage we have had to endure. They couldn't even be respectful when Uncle Mo passed away. As Gareth says...... F*ck em!

They'll be insufferable when Whelan dies. I'm already dreading the day and the absolute guff we'll see, especially in the ever increasingly Latics centric Wigan Today.

If we ever get that tin pot stadium, sod the seat colour - the 1st that needs to go is that stupid statue. Get it replaced with a big one of Maurice standing tall.

Staff paid on time just players that are/were waiting as of 5pm

Wonder if we are paying the office staff, last time I went to the ticket office they were all wearing Warriors gear

I will always remember the "towns turning blue mantra" granted some seats have but not much else.
Great idea of a Maurice statue would put a smile on my face so much.

Maybe the tics would find their natural level because in all honesty and I say this with love in my heart Wigan Athletic are a fantastic pub team.

Maybe charge rent on it, then if payment isnt forthcoming, slap an eviction notice on it, and even get the "Cant Pay, we'll take it away" cameras down to see them topple it like Saddam's statue. Perhaps even invite Bullitt down to hit the statue with his shoe?

Some Latics players not yet been paid.

Re: Latics in administration - Lenagan leading bid : Sat May 06, 2023 3:39 pm  

I believe its the ones who are out of contract at the end of the season that havent been paid. Only paying contracted staff smells like a company about to go into Admin, as it means they cant walk away for free and remain an asset.

When I heard they'd charged Sam Powell 55k for his testimonial let's just say I wasn't impressed.

That's scandalous. We only had one stand open that day.
Would have been better played at Leigh.

I wonder if they have charged Kendrick £55k for his charity game.

It really is like being chained to a dying man. It's a hideous waiting game, and the next stage will be worse ... because then we'll be chained to a corpse.
