Quote: Rubber Buccaneer "My son is currently in trial at Wigan Athletic and last night while freezing my chudds off, one of the other parents who is from Bolton, happened to mention the damage the rugby was doing to the pitch.
He is now very well versed in local drainage problems, laying pitches on top of pitches, building stadiums in swamps, the state of said pitch prior to the RL season, etc etc. Have you ever seen that expression on someone's face that says, "I wish I'd never opened my mouth"....'"
Yeah but it will be in one ear and out the other.
This time next season he will STILL be blaming the pitch on the rugby.
