You mean the rock shows at the Casino on a Saturday night

These weren't rock shows no. It was people dancing to Motown and soul with the bar open. I was courting a Wigan girl at the time and we used to sit upstairs on the balcony.

 

[ZAKKY]

Not sure but it was an 80's King St classic

It is a great piece of music I loved it back then

 

[bickymon]

When this is all sorted do you think we could contact New owners be it through sc or who ever to change stadium name to new Springfield and make stadium all blue seats and no pictures on the concourse that deface the stadium

 

[walgarthjohn]

What happened to all the cash raised to have names on a wall inside or out side the stadium

 

[towngreen latics]

First priority for the new owners to rise much needed cash will be naming rights for the stadium.

 

[bickymon]

They

They should raise it as well lol

I presume it'll be in with the rest of the SC money John.

To be honest, there's no reason why it couldn't be completed, but if it isn't, I imagine the money will be returned to the donators.

 

[bickymon]

Hang on now there's a point why don't sc when and if they put what money they do into the club get the naming rights too new Springfield anyone

 

[towngreen latics]

Long day in the office, sorry about that.

 

[Dudestalker]

Is Shattered Glass by Ellie Warren a Northern Soul song

No Zakky it isn't

 

[Dudestalker]

I think Dudestalker was talking nowadays.

I think Dudestalker was talking nowadays.

I was, it was very popular back in the day though as Hindley quite rightly states.

You mean the rock shows at the Casino on a Saturday night

There certainly were rock shows circa 1976/7 ....they didn’t last that long, but it was Zeppelin, Deep Purple , Black Sabbath, Bad Company, Jethro Tull records and the rest .....then there was a ‘turn’ on about 9.00.... Saw one of the Schenker brothers in an earlier version of UFO/Scorpions, (I forget which) ....UPP ( a budget Emerson Lake & Palmer) ....Sam Apple Pie, Hustler (the band not the lads mag) ....

”Out out out get outta my house,
you better take yer trench coat too...
no daughter o mine’s going out wiv an hippie
or a scruffy little bleeder like you”......
classic

Although every act got an encore, sometimes two, the only one I remember getting three were The Kursaal Flyers who were superb, a bit mor pastiche on 50’s rock & roll rather than out and out rock but they went down a storm that night with Wigan’s rock afficianados
(in our defence I fancy this was before “Little does she know that I Know that she knows etc etc)

Then about half eleven ....we trooped out past all the soulies in their long leathers, clutching their holdalls ....We’d then go upstairs in Bluto’s if we’d missed last orders at the John Bull (which had only opened JUST before then)...
”Who knows were 40 odd years went ?”.....come on Sandy, I think we should be told

 

[king_dezeeuw06]

See mate it's all guess work there are lots of things to be sorted as well has those questions
I remember weeks ago they were on about how will or where will the funding come from
Due to the fact these Spaniards raise funds differently from how it's done here
I'm sure I read they use stock markets to raise funds to fund the club has they did previously I'm sure it was Nixon quoted that or might have been admin that might be just one problem efl are looking at as well has others

Leganes do indeed play the stock market to raise funds for the club.

 

[king_dezeeuw06]

Hope we find out who the mystery men behind the bid are.

Nixon confirmed one is Moreno who is involved with Leganes. No name mention for anyone else.

Might be his wealthy wife who uses her own name maiden name like I say might be

 

[FrancosLoveChild]

That Victoria Pavon?

 

[bickymon]

That Victoria Pavon?

Yes

 

[Kenny Morris]

Wigan Council deserve only 2 fingers for their lack of support during this shambles never mind a trip round Willy Wonka's gaff

And you know this how??

Whilst at Wigan Tech in 74-76 we put some great nights on at The Casino. Hustler, Screaming Lord Such and Babe Ruth.
Had other great Rock nights downstairs at The Grand. Brilliant times.
