Quote: Wigan6/Leeds1 Andy "He did. He said they identified last September that trying to play two games in 20 hours on our pitch in February was going to be an issue, hence why they put it on their high priority list of dates. For whatever reason, the RFL didn't take it into account.'"

But he says they also looked at playing the game on Sunday instead! But because Salford are playing the Thursday after they did not want to. So it would of still been two games played on it.

Quote: [Gareth] ""Decent article which highlights what we already knew, whelan had the stadium built as cheap as possible'"


We will just have to hope that with all that Methane about none of the groundsmen have a crafty fag while they are cutting the grass. There will a large mushroom cloud appearing over that part of Wigan if they do curtain.gif .

Quote: stillinthepast "The DW Stadium pitch, will this be the last relay?


This was given to me tonight by a very very old Wigan supporter and friend .

Read more:
I think Jason Taylors article is a few years old (the clue is the 3rd relaying!), but the rest of it sounds very plausible. Rich man, with a reputation for doing things as cheaply as possible, has stadium built but leaves the poisonous subsurface intact to save a few quid.

I bet when the stadium was built Whelan was hoping he'd have sold the Latics & the stadium by now, and was a permanent resident of Barbados or some other island. Instead, he's still having to fork out for a new pitch on an annual basis and his football team are worth a fraction of what they were worth 5 years ago. He should have sold up after their 4th or 5th "great escape" from relegation (I've lost count as to how many times they just scraped out of the bottom three before finally being relegated in 2013).

And it's outrageous, because as you know, Paxman grillings are the normal form in RL coverage.
