LOL - this is straight out of the Cult of Personality Handbook. I wonder what other Heroic self-imagery he plans to introduce?

Cant stand Dave Whelan myself. It is funny watching the pies get angry though.

i thinks it funnier that some of them are pretending not to care

after the crying and whinging last year about having to go to Widnes, this is a fantastic move by Whelan. It is his stadium, and he is making sure that the Pies know it.

Indeed, he has them over a barrel and he knows it. They have nowhere else to go realistically and even though He needs there income so he can have an all year round stadium he knows they dont have much choice. From a Rugby point of view I would like to see Wigan break away and get there own stadium (and have nothing to do with the latics) but I cant see it happening especially not in the current economic climate.

It's like us playing in the Morrisons Stadium lol ..

I guess this is an equivalent (for want of a better word) of Knowsley Road officially changing its name to the GPW Recruitment stadium. I don't think i've ever heard anyone call it that in regular conversation. Its still "Knowsley Road", "KR", "the s**thole" (all away fans, most home fans!) or "the ground" (anyone calling it "the stadium" needs their eyes and y'ed testing)

the above is a quote from a wigan fan regarding the naming of the stadium.allthough i wouldn't argue with what he says,i would like to remind him that it is OUR ground,we are not tennants and we can play there when we like,not when we are told.
