The landlords of the Robin Park Stadium are Wigan Council.
The funding for the construction of the stadium came from various sources. £11,000,000 of it came from the government's 'City Challenge Fund' (which also paid for the JJB warehouse, also with Wigan Council as landlords). Very little came from D.Whelan.
The stadium's 'true' title is Robin Park Stadium. JJB were it's first sponsors, DW are it's current sponsors, both are using the pricipal sponsor's privelage of using their name on the stadium for the duration of their sponsorship contract.
Could you imagine the uproar if Old Trafford was announced as 'the Aon Stadium'?
