Re: DW
Or even better
The WRP aka Wigan Robin Park stadium
And I would rename all four stands
West the new Boston stand
East the Jim Sullivan stand
South the Ken Gee stand
North the Dean bell stand (aka the bell end apt especially when wire and saints fans are our visitors)

Re: DW
Touché but KR is now called something else I think. The Craven Street thing they have at one end was very good when we went first game of season

That's definitely a none starter meds far to many obstacles regarding size/planning ect
Re: DW
That's what I was told, £30m plan for the place with a contingency plan of playing at Bolton for a short period if Latics go bustCharriots Offiah wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 11:12 amThey have carried out a feasibility study and it is doable.keptinthedarkfans wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:06 pmPlanning is not only issues it involves the lands suitability to build stadium onCharriots Offiah wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 6:24 pm

I like Bolton's stadium. What about a permanent move there? Easy access to the M61/2, with only Wire and Saints away fans having further to travel. Nearer home for Matty Peet, and easier for Wigan's army of Yorkshire-based fans to get to!medlocke wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 11:43 amThat's what I was told, £30m plan for the place with a contingency plan of playing at Bolton for a short period if Latics go bustCharriots Offiah wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 11:12 amThey have carried out a feasibility study and it is doable.keptinthedarkfans wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:06 pm
Planning is not only issues it involves the lands suitability to build stadium on
Of course they'd have to rename the Carr's Pasties stand as Carr's Pies, but the Nat Lofthouse name could stay, as the Lion of Vienna was a big Wigan fan.
