Just exactly what Wigan needs, another crap food place taking up parking space.

Don’t go then

Thats true, but if the stadium becomes available, then space there could be used as a club bar, almost a hard rock type thing with the musuem memorabillia on the walls, so it give the fans a base on match days (if we ever have them again), the supporters bar in the sports arena was just starting to get established, well the riversiders had got their towels on the sunbeds. and we'd heard all Andy Gregorys jokes. But it was better than giving the money to the latics

but a more perminant arrangement could be beneficial if developed correctly, wigans history could be a great way of developing cash flow, there are lots of events that are worth commemorating, but it needs to be done right.

Exactly. He wants an Aussie style leagues club.

The main reason is that it was borderline robbery it was that over priced. It could have been utilised and priced so much better.

Agreed, I'm rugby mad but would still probably only go once to a museum, and spend little. A supporters bar would be good but again I don't know what they would do with it on on non-matchdays. Not exactly in a good spot to pick up passing trade.

I never do, and so do others who like proper food!

[quote="sergeant pepper"]Excellent trolling again...

So if you don't like the place then it's a no. That's regardless of if they place is full all week and other people want to go.

You've labelled it crap, so there we go.[/quote

Why is when anyone says anything you do not like, its trolling?

Not so much passing trade, more to do with the death of socialising in pubs and clubs.

Now entertainment is all about watching Sky television or looking at a SmartPhone with a four pack or bottle of wine.

It’s a good idea in principle but my issue is what happens in the off season? 5months of nothing more than passing trade, even in season it’s every other week and maybe more if we’re not in the CC or the pitch is being relayed. I like the idea but in reality it just won’t work, I’m not sure what that building could be used as. Gym? No. Chippy? No. Bar? Doesn’t really work.

He would be daft not to let Latics use it
