He's no mug whelan, i would'nt be surprised if in the next few weeks he buys JJB fitness back and renames them DW fitness. Everything he does has money at the root of it.

that is precisely what he is doing, JJB was the company which he once owned, now its DW , what do people expect he owns it and will do what he wants whilst ho does so, no point grumbling!!

Fair enough not calling the stadium by it's name. I always referred to the JJB as 'the stadium' when I'm talking about it. Not through some vendetta against the JJB though. I always called Central Park 'the stadium' too.

The last stadium sponsor was Dave Whelan's company and the new one will be Dave Whelan's company. The fact that the company bears his name is irrelevant. Plenty companies are named after their owners.

Neil Robinson & associates
Morton Financial Services
Craig Hogan's male escort services

Although I'd rather it have a generic name such as "The Riverside" or "Wigan's Stadium" I'm ultimately not that arsed. At this moment in time I'm more concerned with seeing some consistent and entertaining rugby rather than what it says on a sign outside my stadium.

strange as it might seem, i have always called it "The JJB", and still do.

its an habit i cant break, but im trying hard

Yup, me too.

I suppose it's like Huddersfield's Galpharm, I have only just stopped calling it the McAlpine. In a year or so we'll be used to 'DW'.
