They'll all think we play the mud wresting variety of rugby which would really ruin the pitch (as seen at Headingley).

As a skeptic re. Latics' attitude to RL being played at the DW, I shall henceforth note that the club made this official statement.

That and the relaying of the pitch may just be enough to see the argument off for the remainder of 2010 at least.

So what's the reasoning behind Bradfords pitch???

Didn't they film a movie on it in the winter or something?

Typical BBC, lazy journo,

"Wigan Warriors rugby league team have contributed to the decline of the surface"

then the club state:

"It's got absolutely nothing to do with the rugby league club," he added. "That's completely irrelevant.

Clueless morons. Nice to see someone from the foozeball club talking sense.

It's a well known fact that the union fatties have caused 100% of the damage at our place. Given that league's caused no damage whatsoever at ours, it's highly unlikely that it's the cause of the damage at the JJB.

Somebody can't spell 'relaid'.
Is it the BBC or the club spokesperson?
Because 'relayed' means something else...

Well i think Wigan Athletic deserve a great big [size=200WELL DONE!!! [/sizeIts about time somebody from either club stopped the lazy journalism, thanks pal whoever you are.

=#FF0000Can't believe I said that

at last some calm amongst the storm

I'm totally not bothered by it all, we know that Latics we eventually be relegated and all the fans will disappear to support United and City again and natural order will be restored. £20 a ticket for Premier league football(the most popular league of the most popular sport in the world) and only averaging 12,000 home fans per week is not good foundations for a club. And thats not including the 3 home games before Xmas at £1 a ticket.

Looks like you want the Latics to just disappear?

Well done Wigan Athletic.

Maybe there is hope of a truce in the town after all.

Which one? All quiet on the Western Front?

its ok when they get relegated we will then be the prioity sport and then we can start blaming them and their terrible oppositions in the championship for wrecking our pitch!

Yes they did, they mentioned it during the game on Friday night.

If they went into the Championship, could they play games at LSV as that would be be big enough to house all their "genuine" fans as their premier league muppets "fans" would have disappeared

Could make matters worse, as i'm sure there are more teams in the what i knew as "The second division".

Latics average around the same number of HOME fans as Wigan.

Who gives a toss. STOP RUINING OUR PITCH!!!!!

Nah sadly not genesis and centurions already play there so would be too much i suspect also imagine how we would feel if we were turfed out to another stadium by our ground sharers...

Oh wait Widnes... Sod em!

When we came off against hull kr i dont remember any mud on the pitch at all, the players didnt look dirty, then latics turn up and it looks like a paddy field

There are some photos on sporthull.co.uk of the players and pitch during and at the end of the match.
No sign of a muddy pitch and all the players shirts are reasonably clean. It is amazing how the pitch deterioated after latics had played on it.

We need too to stay up

With cheaper tickets, a better atmosphere because of the away fans, and also the fact that they are over achieving as a club, while we have been under achieving for quite some time.

Very true. A big test for us will be the crowd on Fri. After 3 wins in 3 i'm hoping for at least 14k
