Over on Latics speyk the regular knuckledraggers didnt seem to appreciate me pointing out that no longer having the stadium named after someone with an FA Conviction for racism and who had flogged the club to some chinese money launderers and started the slide into bankruptcy was a good thing.

It’s not your stadium though. You rent it. Also do you think the latics would be forced to play 9 of their first 12 games away from home? Of course not

As a lot of times you are wrong ,you can include this aswell, of course we own Danson owns us and Latics and the stadium by definition he owns the lot and is a Rugby man so leans towards the Warriors hence why he changed the banner thats why he had the womens team playing on the pitch thats why he has changed the stadium name,thats why Latics dislike whats happening as they dont have the upper hand anymore.He bought Latics to save them (and they begged him and the local MP )he bought the warriors because he wanted them same outcome different reasons.
Re-the pitch it needs to be relaid and as it is the growing season it is the best time,if Whelan hadnt built the stadium on a swamp this wouldnt happen.Who knows he could well sort the drainage out over time.

Latics had their shot and blew it.

Danson took control of Latics because he had no choice. The stadium was about to close.

Technically, they still own the stadium. For now.

But they have no more say in anything that happens there than the rugby do.

so what

It's the last shred of consolation so many of them have been clinging to for so many years. And now even that has gone.
