Ah how many timesssss.
Wigan Warriors will not be thrown out of the JJB because Latics have no more right to it than Warriors. When people ask this question it always seems like Wigan RL are temporarily borrowing Latics ground. It's not that way at all, it is a shared ground.
This is a silly rumour you have heard, I can't be bothered going into examples of other footy teams that have shared with rugby in the past as we've been through this quite a few times on this board.
Warriors do not have to move IF Latics were to get promoted.

Very true! I dont know how many times iv had to say this! If Wheelan did try to kick Wigan out, he would have to build another ground AND pay about 12 million back to the council who gave them the money strictly for a community development "GROUND SHARE" its just bad business practice!

this just goes on and on doesnt it, the jjb stadium is owned by a private company and two teams lease the ground. it does not belong to wigan ath or wigan warriors so we cannot throw wigan ath out as we dont own it and they cant throw us out as they dont own it.

i thought there were certain regulations made by the Premier League authorities which doesn't allow football teams in the premiership to share their 'home' ground with any other sports team apart from football.
even if latics and the warriors share the ground from a whelan private, would it still not count as ground-sharing?
if so it is very bad thinking from whelan

London have played at The Valley when Charlton were playing the Premier League.
