warriors VS latics

[warrior]

hi all
is it true what ive heard that if the latics make it into the premier league that the warriors will have to leave. Apparently that a rugby side carnt play on the same ground as a premier league team. if they did get kicked out where would the warriors play. any ideas
cheers. bye for now

i asked the very same question the other week the answer is this the J.J.B.stadium does not belong to the latics or the warriors it belongs to mr whealan who hires it out to the two teams to play there fixtures therfore we are not shareing the ground we are hireing the same ground not a lot of difference but there you go thats the get round!!!

From what I'm aware it didn't even matter if Latics did own the stadium as there wouldn't be a problem.

I'm sure that when Watford were playing in the Premier League they were ground sharing with Saracens Rugby Union team.

Therefore, even if Latics do get promoted which I'm sure most Warriors supporters would agree it would be good for the town of Wigan, there is nothing to say we will be kicked out of JJB.

How many times do we have to go through this one?
Theres a few premiership football teams that share with either rugby union or smaller footy teams. Also how come we can share pitches when they're in division 1 but if they get to premier suddenly a shared pitch isnt good enough?
By the way is 25000 a good crowd for top football? I dont personally think so.

Too many, it seems. Someone needs to educate the Pathetics fans so they stop trying to spread this ridiculous rumour.

But that's already more than double what they get nowadays. Personally I'll think it hilarious if they do get promoted, and all the other teams bring more fans than the home side can muster. 10000 x Latics, 15000 x ManUtd fans will sound ridiculous, perhaps then the Latics will find out how irrelevant they are.

Perhaps I should start an FAQ for this message board!

Yeah!!!
You can put
"Whats that song Warriors come out to?" on it too.

Two premiership clubs shared Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace and Wimbledon, so it's all just hearsay, wouldn't listen to it, anyhow, Latics have a long long way to go yet
