I'll say it then Russ Winstanley....there you go, contributes nothing, lived on the back of Wigan Casino for the past 23 years, has sod all in common with me or most on the scene, 'Richard' was the Casino enough said!!!!......this stinks Paul i know how much commitment, love and dedication you put in with the play this is a sad reflection of a little man's inflated ego constantly milking and taking credit for everything connected with that eight year period, your play caputured the time perfectly and did not look through rose tinted glasses at the subject as certain books have done in the past, credit where credit is due mate i say, oh and if any consellation everyone knows it was your baby, talent and hard work that produced a wondeful insight in social history, do we care what he thinks,says or does no indeed we don't..........oh and i think you will find the Frank Wilson played at Wigan was infact owned by Les McCutchen, see what i mean rose tinted glasses, say it enough and they actually believe it's true.
