Sometimes you gotta channel your inner twinkie to get that fizz

Moved from chorley to wigan for work 6 years ago. Best decision I ever made. Away from the bigots. away from all the negy nellys. Chorley is ok for shopping but not good for LGBTQIA folk. Especially when you live in a very Mormon heavy area. In Wigan I just blend in with the crowd rather than stand out from the norm. Tbh everywhere is a shithole if you look away from the polished spaces.

You are 100% correct, she’s main concern is building her political career in London. We need a fresh MP whose roots are from Lancashire with connections to Lancashire.

That would definitely get some unscrupulous owners to shape up or ship out. And bring many none / under utilised buildings back on line.

The old town hall was where the car park is. It was later used as the Wigan magistrates court, with Makerfield magistrates on Crarwford St. now being The Old Courts and Leigh magistrates court being in Leigh town hall. A tunnel was built at large expense from the old police station, now the Premier Inn, to the new magistrates next door to it. Wasted money as the police station was moved to its current location a few years later. The current baths was built on the same site as the old pool.

@jblogs1000 not exactly sure where migrants come into it with a college building. And an empty plot.

Alot of the main floor was left there as there is a vast basement area. As the site is a large cutting into a hill. what is full floor at the top becomes a first/second floor at the battom of the hill. The structure up top of market gate is thwere as the plan was to use some of it as the base for the new market hall. The market hall that is still standing will be demolished once the new market is built. (If that ever happens) There is some clean up going on around the site currently to prep some spots for the next phase.

Aparently its "progress". Yet it feels like its going backwords. the cost of amending and adapting the older structures is also a factor in some models. Some say its cheaper to knock down and build new. Since some older structures require alot more work to adapt to a new usage. Eventualy there wont be any decent old buildings left in the center. Cheers for your interaction.

Yup it sure was

14‐15th May

@@Foxstar1387 oh ok . i was there on the 17th and i thought i saw you

Hopefully within the next few months.

Alot of the new apartment developments do feel like they are geared towards those folk who work in central Manchester and don't have any natural connections to Wigan. And are only being done to pull in the commuter money.

Wardles try wouldn't have stood any other time. No idea why it was called. Penrith scored from a miscommunication in the Wigan defence and a crash over that was 50/50 for being held up. Other than that the nearly 70% possession wasn't used to its fullest. The two main break aways got shut down by Field on defensive scramble. The final seconds possible try was held up on fields arm. With out the speed of Jai penrith would have run the show. French was offside by a bugs doodah. On the kick. Any other time that would have been given. But due to the mess from the Wardle try it got called for offside to make up for the error. The ref was born in St Helens and lives in Wigan.

Australian ref boss, Graham Annesley said it was disgraceful refereeing decisions. English football VAR is no different. This is what happens when the poms can't seem to win anything! Don't know why Aussie teams bother going over there. Waste of time.

I know, it's hilarious.

Cheers. Yeah French and Field are dynamite if you give them space.

Yeah bro. I've been Wigan fan since the days of James leuluai n Fred Ah koi, Dean Bell, Ellery Hanly, Andy Gregory and the list goes on. I'm glad Penrith were humble in defeat. Awesome fan support from the stands as always.

@@Foxstar1387 I agree about the dynamic duo. They're both silky skills players. Farrell is a machine too. Goes all day. 💯

No Sydney roosters have won more world club challenge then any other club witch makes them the best club ever and I don't even follow them

Five wcc for both Wigan and Roosters.

@@Foxstar1387 who did it first Hay respect to Wigan phenomenal side

@@Foxstar1387 my dad was a huge Wigan fan me not so much I like Huddersfield giants bit I do injoy watching top rugby league I'm from Australia so I do get to watch good hard hitting game's every weekend but I also love super league it's fast hard hits and very entertaining to watch

Can't miss you sometimes

The casino site is now where the grand arcade shopping centre is.

The weekly or fortnightly vids will continue from the demolition to the rebuild.

Hopefully soon as last I knew it was ment to be once the demolition is finished.

I think its to stop stuff falling to the road and so they can pull or push the rubble into the site. Sort of keeping it more contained like it was for the entry portals. Some could be by hand other parts via the mechanical ways

With how much of the site could have been modified and repurposed it dose seem a vast waste. Yes parts of Market gate where needing some fixups like the moisture getting in via the roof and maybe remove afew units to make more event-public areas. But the whole site being obliterated is abit much now. It will be interesting to see what happens to the current cinema building too. Will it get pulled apart inside to make a lazer tag arena and such or will it sit to rot.

There's been conflicting rumours that the tower will either be pulled down when the market is taken down or the tower will stand and be used in one of the new buildings in some form. Hard to see it staying when it's built into the market like it is.

The tower is integral to the structure of the market so will come down with the market

Im hoping its built since its gonna leave a huge scar and pit if its left as a half pulled shell. Rumours of them pulling out have been going around since may so who knows whats true and whats not. If the council would come out and talk about whats going on so that we all know if its going on or not.

@@Foxstar1387 yep and it’s criminal if they pull out now by both parties as the council should of never started it if they won’t hundred percent

@mattybelshaw9542 that's the problem with alot of these projects. Partners jump off and plans get fiddled with and numbers fudged.
