At a time when people in Wigan including no doubt the Council, are trying to get the supporters of both clubs to be closer together as a result of playing in a joint stadium, along comes a multi millionaire new owner of the Latic's to scuttle what may have already been acheived.
I had no real time for Whelan, but at least he named the East Stand after Wigan's most famous Rugby League player, incorporated the main colours of both clubs in the seating, give a long tem least and to my knowledge never increased the rental for use of the Stadium.
Perhaps. this new owner who is not even a resident of our country needs to be educated on what the name of Boston and a joint Stadium means to the people and the town of Wigan.
Just downright plain ignorance by him as far as I am concerned!
I don't think he gives a flying toss about the club, town or Country. His PR team are pushing his profile as if he is buying into the Town but its comes across a little Alan Partridgesque. Did you not see him having his picture eating a pie? He may as well have been tucking into a fresh dog turd.
So we contribute £1,000,000 a year by using the JJB and maybe causing issues with the pitch, maybe by playing there in the summer we are stopping the stadium holding concerts?
The new owners are spunking £1,000,000 a month to keep the club afloat? Do you think they'll miss our 'peppercorn rent' that IL seems so pleased to be paying? The writing is on the wall, we will be out on our ears should this new owner stick around long enough.
