Why should the Warriors move? Sale proceeds of CP contributed a Hell of a lot more to the JJB than that poxy bit of spare land in Springfield!

Besides, if we were to leave, the JJB would become a similar embarrassment to Kudos once Wigan Nil leave the Premiership!

Aspull gets my vote, on the M61 dual access roads for yorkites, roads from hindley and whelley/ haigh etc... buy out Aspull rugby club plenty of land for stadium and parking...

wont happen though me's only dreaming... 2 miles from the Reebok

But i think all this move stadium is just a knee jerk reaction we have one of the best stadiums in SL and i think we should keep it that way.

IL has recognised the need to generate money away from whealan and the JJB stadium and im sure he is more than capable to do achieve his goal
Totally agree pal.
Wigan Till I Die!!

We've had Barrett and Kenny, Edwards and Hanley, Boston and 8 IN A ROW!!!

we have not progressed one bit since we left the hallowed turf of "Central Park"

Knock that bloody Tesco store down and lets get back

( ok i know it will never happen )

but i for one really miss the old place with its unique Rugby atmoshpere

Wigan is and always will be a town of Cherry & White
