Whoa there!

SWAG was set up by supporters to represent supporters interests at all times, but every bit of our literature mentioned a Community Stadium and we meant it!

If you mean WISA/WiSCA the same also applies, we had to fight the club to get that group set up which, in its years of operation, raised around £150k for the club.

So, wrong on all counts!

Don't waste your time TRB. The guy is gutted that that a deal has been pulled out of the hat for 2018 and he's flapping around like a fish out of water.

Apologies there Vasty and Daddycool, for not seeing it right there.

I wasn't aware that you were on the SWAG team

Don't worry about it. It's honest decent people like you we were and some still are fighting for. Local people I understand the desire to be positive and maybe the stadium bit will happen and at the end of the day that's something. Tbh I'm just sick of seeing us all let down by the very people we elect to help us.

We must never lose site of the wrong that has been done. For years we've been battling with other ignorant opposition fans by explaining the way the 106 works and how it will be totally funded from outside money.

I don't know how it will be funded now but it certainly won't be the way it was meant to be. So I think we must remain honest and admit that there are now moral issues where there shouldn't be..

I'm not suggesting we spit the dummy out but let's please not give Box any credit and let's remain vigilant at all times.

These snakes are not the kind of people I'm used to and I doubt you are - so trust only the Trust and where Trinity is concerned trust only the club.

Now have a nice xmas and enjoy the Boxing Day game

Good news...let us hope it is not another false dawn. I doubt Michael would have backed down on the legal action if something substantive hasn't occurred here. He sounded like he really meant business on that and he has done nothing in his time at BV for me to think he is anything other than decent and honest. As for his statement, it is obvious that he is having to be careful what he says. In political situations you sometimes have to compromise and that statement read to me something like this.....
Council & Hussain: Ok Michael you're not happy with that deal on BV, what will you be happy with? (Unsaid...and we are bricking it if all the true facts of what we have been up to come out so we need to stop you taking this action) MC; This deal chaps. Them; ok then (maybe after a bit of haggling)...oh and could you put something out that makes us look better than that last statement Michael please? MC...ok then.....and we get carefully worded statement that does not exonerate the council and MH just in case we are being played for fools yet again but cleans their faces a bit...it's all been a 'misunderstanding'...as someone said, don't play MC at poker but good work Mr Carter!!!

Putting aside all the community elements, the council should be supporting financially one of the best adverts for the city around the world. How else would the city's name be mentioned in despatches around the country? The chance to represent the city as somewhere new and dynamic and forward thinking.

If it wasn't for rugby, the only reason people would know of Wigan would be a pot of poverty referred to by George Orwell. If it wasn't for rugby, St Helens would be completely unknown to anyone outside of the northwest. Most people have heard of them though, and the image presented is modern and successful, of excellence.

If the council let the club fail over the ground issue, they see the city diminish to one no one has never heard mentioned.

Totally correct Slugger but Councillor Box ain't listening.

He does support his local team - Cas.

Dig aside Cas are the ultimate example of a very small place made to appear a lot bigger by its RL team ditto Fev which is little more than a street. Why he can't see the value of them all but especially the one that carries the councils name I don't know. I suspect its a mixture of corruption and blatant snobbery. Box may represent us plebs but I doubt he thinks he's one of us.
