If WAFC are taking it over then giving back to grassroots footy is a must.

My grandson plays with his football team on Sunday. They will now have to find an alternative venue such a shame.

This must stay open, what are the children and young adults going to do with their time now

Fantastic facilities for young children. My son plays football and has been playing there. Why take away WAFC? For your own benefit? Not a lot of facilities left for children to be active anymore

Such a shame for grassroots football

Such a shame, but the tenant Powerleague is effectively bust as the business just didn't make money. If WAFC are taking over to use for the academy surely they can open it up for the general public when not in use

A much needed facility - so why is it to close? ??

The Wigan Community cannot afford to lose this outstanding facility which has served all ages so well over a long period. Whilst the Soccerdome has mainly provided facilities for fitness and recreation it also has an excellent function room upstairs for hire at reasonable cost. Finally it’s closure would be particularly sad because it is served by some outstanding staff members who have been a joy and privilege to deal with.

This is not what a football club should be doing.

If its destined to be an academy, any decent football kid would go to a bigger club, who wants to play at Wigan?

Why should a football club benefit from lottery cash, don't they make enough money.

A wonderful community facility, for young and not so young. How can you let this go?

It’s wrong that this is being taken away from the public for public use.

Was an excellent location for the U7s/U8s Sunday league football, shame of the closure.
