Not sure what the pitch was like, but they were hardly free flowing games, well except for Manly taking the pi$$

Well Saddened has said it for us

So now we see the real reason you're whining like a little girl - you're a Rovers fan and they got beat.

The point being that wasn't a fine he was paying on somebody else's behalf.

It's not the Latics fault, it's won't be the Rugby's fault, it's the drainage.

needs Ralph to come and sort it out..............like the drainage in the lower field

Fingers crossed the let Championship clubs share grounds with rugby clubs

Anyone else confused?

Yes, he is

For 2009 the pitch was in excellent condition.

I think it means he hopes they let Championship clubs share with rugby clubs as he thinks we're (Latics) going down?

Cant stand the Latics personally

but you would have to be an extremely prejudiced person to think that it is their fault for the state of that.

I know that it riles when wendyballer's blame us for the poor condition of the playing surface, bt that does not mean we have to drag our selfs to there level.

Any chance we could just have the same thread revised every Jan/Feb instead of creating a new one?

Ok hands up it was my fault!



I was just genuinely surprised how bad it was....

You can tell they have just won a game Jayt (or as he's known on here janort ) has posted about 6 threads.

You have me sussed don't you

would it make you feel better if I was?

Anyway, back to topic. I spoke to the groundsman whilst the pitch was relaid last time (was actually back in wigan then), he said it was to do with the non-removal of septic tanks and the ground that is the problem. Without digging the whole ground up and going down to remove the tanks, it is never going to get better.

Whelan will have sold up within 5 years, it will be interesting to see who takes on the ownership of the ground, as he sure doesn't look like he's going to give it to Latics (or Warriors) like was once rumoured.

The weather looks like it is going to be OK for WCC, so I'm sure the pitch will be fine.

Look at the septic tank stories and who did them Jay.Answers on a postcard

You've lost me

Appalling condition and they don't have the RL team to blame this time the cretins.

There is st georges excuse already after we batter them and wires saints and leeds while I am at it will be nice to see what sort of lame excuse latics come up with instead of blaming the rugby

To be fair to the Tics they dont generally blame us for the pitch its them muppets on BBC & SKY pundits

True enough if you mean representatives of the club, but there is a frightening amount of "fans" that do blame us.

Not all of them, just plenty of them.

Speaking of grounds, did anyone see the pic in the WEP today of how Central Park would have looked had Jack Robinson accepted Whelans original offer of a £11m redevelopment?

Brings a tear to the eye.

I reckon there are two camps out there, the one that beleives all that the gods of BCC and BskyB say and the ones that are saying it just to wind Warriors fans up. Both sets are egits but not a concern, as anybody with a couple of brain cells (and lives in Wigan) knows it is WHERE the Stadium is built not who plays on it!
