The construction of this new stand with 1500 seats a new club shop, a corporate box, a restaurant and a ba! r will be conducted for the 2010 season start.

Wigan edged out local rivals Warrington at the Halliwell Jones Stadium on a cold Wednesday evening fixture in what was Paul Wood's testimonial fixture, claiming a 20-12 victory and injecting a huge confidence boost for Michael McGuire's men.
