I blame the pitch, the Latics (a team in the relegation zone) need a bowling green standard surface to showcase their obvious skill and quality.

Whoever arranges the fixtures at RL Headquarters has to take some of the blame here. They know the football fixtures well before they fix the Superleague matches. Surely it shouldn't be a difficult matter to see that clubs who groundshare with soccer teams are given home fixtures when the soccer teams are away. At this time of year having two matches at the same ground over a weekend is asking for the problem that has been faced in this instance.

Yes, I want a massive fine and points docked. One big hit may give Lenagan the kick he needs to open negotiations with the stadium people that need to happen.

How the fans have been treated is disgraceful.

According to Cockney Latic the pitch was watered at half time!
Did they not want us to play because there was too much standing water or not enough?

Dont worry, if the go down this year, they will dissapear off the face of the earth.

Wigan like all clubs were given multiple drafts of the fixture list to approve or highlight any issues. This isn't an issue at other clubs where things are changed well in advance or, shockingly, the stadium can cope with more than one event a weekend.

But I'll ask again since some of you continue to try and for some reason blame the RFL: are there 11 weekends, excluding WCC, cup, Magic and International when the DW Stadium would be available during the regular season - if weekends when the Latics were playing at home and the weeks of never-ending pitch work (which always happens during the RL season I note) are excluded?

It's up to member clubs to have suitable stadia that are available to play scheduled games. Rocket science it's not; if you can't meet this quite fundamental criteria of membership of a professional sporting compeition then perhaps you're better off in the NW Counties league. No other member club of the RFL seems to have these difficulties.

S...S..

THERE'S ONLY ONE TEAM IN WIGAN........ that won this weekend...

Its time we had our own ground, I don't see what the issue is as it's us who will be paying for it over the next god knows how many years.

If Leigh can do it and we can't, what's going on there then? I'm sick of playing second fiddle to the football now, it's beyond a joke. Add to that we can't have homecomings or testimonial games at the DW or amateur cup games or academy games either at the ground.

We need our own ground.

I suspect they thought that if both teams came out in flippers, they'd have more chance of winning. They were wrong.

Maybe if we played the night before we may have left some divots so that rather than getting 0 shots on target one of them may have hit the said divot and headed towards the goal.....
