The well documented reason he left was that he had the chance to own the club he has supported man and boy . Rules state that he is not allowed to be owner of two clubs although he was given dispensation to keep hold of Quinns RL until a suitable buyer was found .

Never said anything about what IL did for Quinns RL only that he is a shrewd businessman as his tenure at Wigan amongst his other ventures have proven . The one thing he would not do in my humble opinion is throw money at a project without a sound business plan . Pretty sure he will have had failures in his Business life but i am sure the successes will outnumber the failures.

Should we as a group of Broncos fans, go along to this game to support Catalans?! We could go along in Broncos shirts with some sort of a French theme fancy dress!

Not a bad idea. We could all wear our broncos shirts and have French style moustaches.

I remember he Wigan fans supporting Catalan at Magic weekend in Cardiff, so it would be nice to pay them back.

I Cannot stand Wigan either.

I wouldn't go if a chauffeur driven limo tuned up at the house to take me.

I didn't shop in JJB Sports for 20+ years when Whelan owned The Pies. In a small way I hoped I contributed to JJB's demise. Perverse, call it what you will.

Gits......

The pull of Catalan is there but the push of the pies counters it!!!!

How about turning up with a banner saying "save the broncos"

Re: Wigan bring Catalan to London : Fri Jul 31, 2015 2:13 pm  

How about ignoring the event and telling Lennigan to take his evil elsewhere.

Spot on.

Here here. If we want to promote the game to blue chips it should be with a TEST team, not a former pit village on the outskirts of Horwich

Could you please explain what IL did for the Broncos when he owned the club, and why did he walk away?
