Do we want the staduim? Is it a white elephant?
It's an asset that the club would own I suppose at the moment what assets do the club own I suppose the orrelll ground and tackle bags and equipment at present,it's an odd one a ground say like Warrington ground one not to big the club could sell it out week on week but the DW I'm not so sure about but I can certainly see the benefits of owning the ground

It's a shame that no one has the money to do this but in reality the DW should be pulled down and a more fit for purpose for both clubs stadium built. With the space saved build a pub and a smaller chippy
Now your talking

We could generate income through functions/concerts. Other issue might be that it ups our score on the IMG points system for the franchises if not owning our own ground is an issue.

If we need the stadium to get us the A grading then we have more pressing issues to resolve.
I can never decide if we're better off renting the stadium or owning it but I suppose if the opportunity arises to finally be our 'own masters' we should take it. If Mr Lenagan thinks it's better if we own it I'm happy to trust his judgement.

Yes and change the name back to theJJB
Why would you want to rename the stadium JJB, that ship has sailed, new name needed
How's about The Utterly Superb Stadium, USS Wigan, sounds good to me, it will at least give Saints a run for their money in the silly stadium name stakes
