Looking forward to reversing all the jokes from my Latics supporting friends over the years

I'd imagine we and Latics won't be playing at the DW for much longer, naming rights should be up on the to do list.
A deal that just covers the stadium's utility bills will be a massive win for both clubs.

Great news, made all the sweeter that the stadium is now owned by someone with a foot in both camps, and although its not a complete role-reversal, it certainly feels that there are now two joint tenants at the stadium.

The coup-de-grace is the likes of Bullitt & Bickymon from CL/Latics Speyk who have spent years using cuckoo, lodgers, etc and vowed to stop going if anyone connected with the rugby bought their club now have a choice whether to eat humble pie and crawl back, or disappear for good. Maybe even "egg" will stop having to pander to the knuckledragging brigade on there.

Does sound like good news and hopefully takes some of the Idiot Latics fans down a peg. Danson will have his work cut out he needs to steady the club. Even then I imagine any Football club outside of the top flight are loosing money (like the rugby) hopefully the stadium can be redeveloped slightly, first order Would be to sort out the pitch. Luckily he’s not come in and said we’re changing the seat colour or buying a big tv board to begin with haha anyone have any idea how this will benefit both clubs? Will it be as close working relationship as shared facilities, maybe staff and training facilities. I’m not 100% sure what Latics have access too but imagine both clubs could learn from each other

I don’t think he’ll say much at all in truth. We’ve not heard anything in terms of the rugby club and with the takeover, he’s put out a brief statement and refused further interviews. He is apparently a very private individual but he looks to have real affection for the town.

I expect a chief exec will be put in charge of Latics, he’ll be front and centre and he’ll be expected to work closely with his rugby counterparts.

Suspect that is how it will go

It used to be a "news sheet" back in the day that was setup to update some ex pats living in London before the days of the internet etc.

It then became a proper fanzine, website, forum etc.
