There are so many reason's why Union post these kind's of profits look no closer than Leicester Tiger's match day tickets for an adult they range from £47-21. The demand for ticket's must be pretty high if they can sell ticket's at nearly £50 for a standard league game, i for one am glad we don't see these extortionate prices in League what we must improve on as a sport is the demand for ticket's at their current pricing.

Would one get pensioners rates.

Ah recently......!! As Wigan invested £2m on training facilities as early as 2006, as per typical in Rugby League where we lead others follow. If our facilites start to look a little dated by now, no doubt we will re-invest, or we could just use the local university's gym I suppose??



When Maguire arrived he remarked how the facilities at Orrell compared favourably with the NRL clubs, not exactly falling to pieces as the picture you are trying to paint.



My cousin (up to last season) worked as a scholarship coach at Orrell (having previously worked at various other clubs in the league) and he told me the facilities there were tremendous.



But then again I'm sure you know best Mr Turner/Paul Youane or whoever you really are?

I've never understood the need to have a 'trolling' account. Quite sad really.

I'd actually say it's the act of a small minded person. If you want to troll, just use your own account. It's not hard, it's a skill that some have mastered!

It's the off season and we still have dick measuring contests,

I know. Discussing the state of each other's stadia, especially when some of them appear to be falling down, should be completely off limits.

Yes, after all the adverse comments over the years about the DW from fans of other clubs, how unreasonable of Wigan fans to want to discuss the failure of Saints' (and now Wire's) stadia to stand up to winter weather... especially given the obvious safety issues... it's quite outrageous of us, really...

Anyway, was any further damage caused to Trailer Park stadium yesterday?

I heard that a large pigeon landed on a part of the roof at the North end of the ground and caused £465,297.15 worth of damage

Just like it would have done at knowsley hole then. Nothing changes.

I've been to the DW a few times and am quite amazed at the difference in atmosphere generated between RL and Football... I went there with my mate from Uni to watch Liverpool play there and the atmosphere was created by the Away fans in the main, but watching a Wigan v Saints game there is an unbelieveable experience. There is a certain air of electricity in the air whenever Wigan and Saints collide.

thats because it doesnt escape through the roof...



(sorry, couldnt resist)

RLfans made up fact of the day....

My comment was not aimed at any club, it wasn't meant to be scoring points, it is an observation that could be aimed at any company in any business sector. For sure, Saints have been making losses for too many years, and that is an unsustainable position, for any rugby club, or any business. The new ground will hopefully increase our revenue, but unless that can be turned into profits or at least a break even position, then Saints as we know it today won't be around for much longer.

If it were the other way round, I'd have done the same!!!

Another day, another bashing for Stinky/Youane

If he offered £25 bets all the time, his debt profile would be up there with Greece.
