Yup. Ours is 3g, Widnes' is going to be an iPitch.
Can someone explain where the 'i' comes from. Intelligent? In what way is the pitch intelligent?

It's possible they will be retrained into maintaining the iPitch? From what I've read it needs regular maintenance.

You are just searching for negatives now. You have no idea about the groundsman or what's going on down there.

No, it was idle irrelevant speculation and if you think I'm touchy based on one unemotive sentence what am I to gather from yours, "ffs"?

the "ffs" was to emphasise that in my opinion there was no need for your percieved touchyness (if theres such a word)

I'm not looking for negatives at all.. I think it's a pretty good idea and I like everyone have read all the questions and answers about it. It's obviously been bought to a)save the club money and b)to make the club money. I was saying that I expected the groundsman to lose his job as part of “saving the club money”

Padgate Campus doesn't seem a particularly elaborate place for an elite rugby league team to train. Especially the rather scabby field at the side of the halls where Sky filmed the section with Town where the played football.
Are there no plans to develop a more appropriate training facility for the Wolves, like the one Saints developed recently?

Not that there's any idle speculation on the Chemics site apart from the 'Agent Myler' thread, which turned into 'let's slag off the town of Warrington' once it was revealed he'd signed an extension to his contract. Strange really, coming from residents of a town famous for chemicals, a horse rendering factory, and a song written by someone trying to get out of the place.
Welcome back to SL, we've missed you.

It's not trolling. It's a sensible question. Are there any plans for better training facilities? That pitch they showed on Boots n All is pretty average. It's just your average park pitch. A team like Warrington with the money Moran could have a more advanced training facility than that.

0/10. Do a bit of research.

The facilities at Padgate include indoor training facilities. Future developments include utilising the 3G pitch and facilities as part of the Orford Park Project.
Taking over an abandoned school building, whilst regrading existing turf is hardly a development, is it.
