According to today's WEP, the bulldozers moved in immediately after last night's match to relay 3000 square metres of turf - the job should be completed by this Saturday evening.
After seeing recent pictures of the pitch, this can only be good for us....................plus it'll stop Latics from getting a bolloxing from Fergie next weekend!

Good news. Was at last nights match and it was poor. Didn't really hamper the players though IMO.
Good news though. It would only get worse with time!
If only Whelan hasn't of been a tight so and so when he built it he may have actually saved some money in the long run!

Shame that there's a Latics home game the day before the WCC.

Is there no way they could install underfloor heating to stop it getting in that state before they put the new pitch down? I don't know how long that stuff takes but it needs doing because the pitch is being relayed every year it seems.

Apparently, the problem is down to the metal sewerage tanks under the pitch that were not removed during the building of the stadium, plus the alleged last-minute scrapping of an underpitch filtration system, similar to the one at Arsenal.
We are, therefore, stuck with these annual pitch problems - a great, balanced, article (previously linked-to from this forum) is on the Cockney Latic website:

Martinez blamed it for Latics going out of the FA Cup last night, claiming they werent able to play "their football". Having seen plenty of Wigan & Bolton this season, Id suggest the pitch would have helped Latics last night against a better footballing side in Bolton.
By relaying the pitch for Utd, they are setting themselves up for another 5 goal pasting.

"...fitting of two strips of new turf down the middle and across their shocking surface"
"But the final job will look like a green version of the St George cross - as Wigan are restricted by cash and availability of suitable turf for the whole project."
At least it will look patriotic when we play the aussies!

To be honest a ruined pitch in the WCC would ruin the game but it would have given us a better chance, its a shame but true.

Certainly cant use that excuse! They were beaten by a better 2nd team.
Nice to see that the tenants are being looked after  |

I would agree with this if we played slog it up the middle style rugby suited to heavy, muddy pitches but I would expect us to carry on playing the quick, expansive passing game that we have been playing for the past 12 months, just against a better quality opposition. I am so excited for this game!! |
