It's been very dry!

The pitch I played on other week was like playing on a concrete floor, it's was rock solid!

I think you're going soft in your old age mate

I was fine mate, it was the younger guys doing all the moaning.

I think you mean Loins

In fairness we do play half our games there though. The probability of a player getting injured there is much higher simply because of that.

Teams who play there:
Widnes
Everton Reserves
Everton Ladies
St Helens

Don't no where your academy plays? And also there was an amatuer cup final on Monday!

I went the game on Monday for the Widnes cup final. St maries beat west bank 20-0

None of Widnes Vikings Academy/Reserves have yet played at the stadium this year, They have been shipped out to New Brighton RU to protect the pitch yet your Academy has played there quite often and have the cheek to moan?

The Academy isn't moaning. I am! I am not the Academy. And the Academy tend to play at Liverpool St Helens so far as I know. The u20s play at Widnes when the first team have a match there also. They play as a curtain raiser. However, it's probably the soccer players who cause the damage, judging by where the damage is at its worst.

The pitch is terrible. Whoever is in charge of looking after the pitch needs to get it sorted.

For the use it gets the pitch imo is in great condition. 2 adult football teams and 3 rugby teams the pitch "should" be in worse condition than it is. Saints can feel free to stop the curtain raisers be it U20s or academy/reserves. Widnes lads dont get that privilidge to play there before 1st team games so dont see why Saints should imo.

The pitch isn't 'terrible' by a long, long stretch! It's just a bit worn in the middle which is as much rugby as footy! As said it's been very dry the pat month and also very heavily used so what do you expect? Rain picking up now and football season is nearly done (not sure if Everton ladies are full time tennants?) so should soften up a bit.

Oh stop being so precious. Widnes Vikings don't own the bloody stadium so this isn't a criticism of the Vikings for heaven's sake.

I complained to Halton Borough Council when we first went to Widnes because the stadium serves hot drinks in plastic cups which mean that you can't actually hold the bloody drinks after about 10 seconds as they get too hot. I wasn't the only one who complained; loads of people did. I received a thank you in reply and nothing was done. Still get hot drinks in plastic cups. So I take a pair of gloves with me and even when the weather has been shirt and shorts type weather, I've been there, watching the u20s with my gloves on, so I can drink my cup of coffee.

Maybe it is Halton Borough Council who are responsible for looking after the pitch as well? If so, I might complain and see if they will send me another of their cute emails thanking me for my message.
