The pitch looked fine towards the end of the Oldham game on Saturday. This week will be a test of it as its forecast to be pretty wet all week and on game day.

Unless they have some essential work that needs doing to surface (which would mean the Latics game against Bury also being called off/moved)I seriously hope Wigan aren't being made to move a game simply to protect the pitch. Another game of football could easily have been played on the surface on Sunday (the day after the Oldham game) so I don't see why there would be a fuss.

These issues can't keep cropping up. It's embarrassing and is putting people's noses out of joint. The rugby club has an average attendance of roughly 4-5,000 more then Latics at the moment and I don't see why they should be treated as the poor relation. I support and go watching both clubs but there's an obvious bias towards one at the minute.

I think you have hit the nail on the head RW . Sell as many tickets as you can for the Brisbane game and shaft the fans on Monday morning . I know a few fans with rail and hotel tickets (non refundable not me this time) for the Salford match that will be rendered useless should the game be moved or rescheduled.

We've had the announcement at last, it is getting beyond a joke trying to plan things for rugby games, 8 days notice !!! and they wonder why crowds are dropping
Thursday is the new Friday !!!!

I've heard that the game is now on Thursday. Just great. I fly in from Gran Canaria on Friday! Was really looking forward to it as well.

And yours is a classic example of how not to treat the fans, I do feel sorry for you,

That's appalling.

Wigan really need to come out and explain what's happening with our agreement to use the stadium here. There's seems to be more issues cropping up year on year and at a time when Latics have actually fell through a couple of divisions.

I was gutted to see Latics drop out if the Premiership and even more so the Chamoionship as I'm a supporter but I did think that if any good came from it then it would be that ground issues would be avoided more easily.
