Careca9 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Pitch should be a good move. Prob the club with the biggest need for artificial support with the local weather. Also would like under soil heating but doubt that will ever happen at BP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should think if the rugby club is to be invested in, that budget will be outside of the pre-determined budget for Latics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may well be the case and that's fine if both clubs generate enough of their own money to not need the Rothwells to dip into their personal pot but I doubt that.

Ackey Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Short vs. Long term thinking, tho - it may be less for Latics for the short term, but if you can change the culture of the town towards sport then mid/long term you potentially improve everything more sustainably and both clubs will benefit.

redlion Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Maybe someone attending the forum could ask our Dave if he watched Southampton v Tottenham last weekend ? Spurs 3 - 1 after throwing men forward, reverted to a 4-5-1 and conceded 2 goals by sitting back and allowing Southampton to attack at will. It doesn't work for Tottenham and it doesn't work for Latics Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a good analysis in The Times today pointing out that the culture of failure permeates the whole club. They might be failing at a higher level than us but same principle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
