Quote: NickyKiss "Latics relegations have hurt the pitch because the cash isn't there anymore to just put down a new pitch everytime it cuts up.
The area which the stadium in doesn't help and means we'll always fight these battles as its so boggy. Having the Latics youth team game on it is crazy to be fair but they call the shots ultimately.
The myth of the rugby 'ruining' it will always go round but it's exactly that. It was a disgrace last week against Port Vale and no rugby had been played on it for nearly three months.'"
That myth is firmly out of the window now,it was a disgrace before any rugby team got on to it,the football is ruining it,you can see the areas around where the goals would be and around the middle of the pitch are well worn.
