I believe the stadium contract gives the club no benefit from using the stadium facilities whatsoever. I think the FanZone is a reaction to that contract, rather than a "boycott" causing the contractual situation.


I think that was put very politely! :D

What do you expect them to do? 🤔

Boycotting the Stadium Facilities in favour of your "fanzone" at Robin Park probably wasn't your wisest move... 🥴🤦
I expect them to behave in a way that benefits the people of our great town and not act in a petulant manner. How do you expect them to behave?

Correct Mike, the owners are cutting their nose off to spite their face. By the way, Latics are up for sale.
Oooooooh...Is that the sweet aroma of BITTER lemons I can smell...? 🤔🤣👍

:lol: :lol: I didn't realise a bitter fan spoke for the current owner :lol: :lol:

Love it, IL trys to buy the stadium as any business man with a vested interest in it would and the bitter few feel they were hard done by.
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

Funny way to run a business, if you don’t want to maximise your income. What stunt was that? By the way it is ‘we were’ not ‘we was’!

Yes, and every time our games are moved for either Sky or Latics we must lose a substantial amount of Corporate sales & business!
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Even more reason to visit Robin Park. RL supporters need to vote with their feet.
