Quote: It's got absolutely nothing to do with the rugby league club, "But the club spokesman was keen to play down any problems of sharing with a rugby side or of any rift between the two outfits.
"It's got absolutely nothing to do with the rugby league club," he added. "That's completely irrelevant."'"

| Fair enough.
I think both clubs knew the arguments had gone on long enough.

| Of course the rugby playing on it is irrelevant.
The weather has been the problem and the Latics playing on it all winter has cut it up something rotten. You only need to look where the damage is to see which sport has caused the damage.......it's in both football goal mouths and the central area of the pitch.
Not that it's Latics fault either. It's just one of those things.

| Looks like the Latics are also fed up with the sh[ii[/it-stirring by the media.

| I thought it was going to be worse than that yesterday:
Pi$$ing down with rain throughout the game, 3 inch of snow on it only hours earlier, 5-6 matches played on it in 3 weeks..............
........It was better than Headingley was the other week, that's for sure!
Hopefully it will keep dry during the week, which won't bog us down too much - we grab the win, then rip the fooker up!

did you miss this bit Andy?
Heavy snow, a broken undersoil heating system and the return to action of Wigan Warriors rugby league team have contributed to the decline of the surface.
no mention of latics i see.

Nobody is saying the rugby doesnt contribute to the condition or lack thereof of the pitch - we're just fed up of being given the entire blame. The combination of the weather, the latics and the rugby have made the pitch how it is.

That was the BBC sh[ii[/it-stirring which the Latics quote completely shot down. Which is pretty much the point of the thread.
Do keep up.

I suspect most of the media sent to cover Latics matches don't actually realise Rugby is played over the summer (you know what I mean!) and not the winter!
Sad but true, most of them probably are that ignorant.

20333_1393344959.gif Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |
|
| I glanced at the pitch yesterday in the pub when latics played Spurs and the damage was around the goal mouth and other places the footballers were running, a real bad shape it was in but after an RL match on it never looks that bad IMO.

I suspect you are right.
They would simply think "hmm Bath are playing in the winter, Wigan must play over the winter too".
Then again London Irish play at Reading and that doesn't cut up.......
The ground was built on a bog. What do they expect?

They'll all think we play the mud wresting variety of rugby which would really ruin the pitch (as seen at Headingley).

| As a skeptic re. Latics' attitude to RL being played at the DW, I shall henceforth note that the club made this official statement.
That and the relaying of the pitch may just be enough to see the argument off for the remainder of 2010 at least.
