I have watched the interview and while I sympathise the overriding fact is this has been ongoing for 6 months or so, to make the last ditch decision they have just simply isn't good enough. This would have been much more palatable if people had been given sufficient notice as we have been for the Leeds game.



Ian Lenagan is a little hypocritical though, taking about his reluctance to move home games to other venues, was the Wigan 'home' game against Catalan last year relocated to Millwall because there were fixture clashes and no other suitable venue closer to Wigan? No it suited them to do so.



I maintain that the decision made is poor, and Salfords handling of this is poor.

In all of this no one seems to have noticed Hull fc play at the KC on Thursday and Hull City, playing at a higher level, play at the KC on Friday.

Think the DW Stadium management need to look at themselves.

It's the area on which the DW was built...practically a swamp, worst location they could have picked.

The game at Milwall wasn't moved because of a fixture clash, Latics were away that day.







Hulls pitch isn't built next to a river and on a flood plain. If you watch that interview with Lenagan you will notice that (hopefully) £1 will be spent in May and June to sort the problem out. How they're going to do it I'm not sure, but I really hope it happens.

I know, my point being that fixture was moved so why not this? Might have been an idea to move it to another NW venue such as Preston, Wrexham or the like, my point being the clubs and RFL have had long enough to organise something rather than right at the death think bugger let's act now.

Barton is built on the edge of a peat bog between the Ship canal and Salteye Brook on land that was heavily polluted and sits on a bed of shale gas the number of events on it from Thursday last week until tomorrow will be 2 games of league 1 game of union 3 captains runs and a contested training session.

Maybe the people responsible for the DW Stadium build and location should be asked some questions

Not sure £1 will make much difference

The clubs? What are Salford supposed to do about it?

Was about to say the same, you couldn't get a more water logged table than Barton.

Be interesting to see the state of the playing surface tonight if this rain continues.

But I guess Sky and money making will dictate it's condition

Not sure but i think £1 is not enough, as for tonites match, the pitch has been relayed ???????



But i reckon a mud bath is in order, and a good excuse when the Mighty Wigan get hammered.



Bring on the Broncos, and batter them, lot's of hard legal tackels do some damage to em, harder the better.
