Whelan calls for Rovers fine

Last updated : 06 January 2006 By Paul Farrington
As a result, Rovers visited the JJB on New Year's Eve and looked much fresher than the Latics, who had travelled to London to face West Ham.

Whelan has called the fiasco 'bad management' and shouldn't be allowed in the game. He said: "If a club can’t sort their heating system out they need to be fined heavily. They [Blackburn] were fresh as daisies. No wonder they won."
