I watched the Latics 2-2 draw against Arsenal on MOTD and the pitch looks in fine condition considering it at this point in previous years.

My lad got FIFA 11 for the Xbox for Christmas - I lol'ed when I saw the state of the JJB pitch, they have modelled in a computer game, three huge bald patches, whereas Old Trafford looks like a billiards table in comparison.

Unfortunately the game publishers Electronic Arts, despite their efforts at pitch accuracy, did get one thing wrong however, as they also showed the JJB as being full at a Latics match.

No, it just has a limited capacity for football games, partly related to not being able to take your ale to your seat as the concourses get rammed (and I mean RAMMED) from about 10 minutes before half-time and the 10 minutes afterwards.

Imagine watching that Dross every week! I'm surprised the bars aren't "Rammed" for the Whole 90 mins!

probably worst team in league on yesterdays performance---LOVED IT!!!!!!

good deal

Get down there.
There's loads of Stains fans support WAFC.

As has been said, when we were threatened with relegation; our attendances went up!

From the way they're going at the moment - they have a real chance of slipping out of the premiership this year. If they do survive (which is pretty much the best they can hope for) then next season should see them relegated.

Cue more sign changes and blue spray paint!

2006 was a bad year for us on the pitch but was also the year the Latics got their best support.

Are the two related?

Would Wigan Athletic relegation be a good thing for Wigan RL.
Apart from a bit of mickey taking and bragging rites, I'm not really sure it is.

North Stand - 5392 seats and 21 disabled spaces

The limited capacity is a standard rule at premier league grounds due to the segregation laws

Neither is Ian Lenagan.

The pitch issue has raised its head almost every year, yet it must now be clear to all of us (me included, and I used to be very anti-Latics in this regard) that it's little more - most of the time - than indignant soccer pundits in the nationals trying to cause trouble. It isn't going to lead to us being shown the door.

In that respect, I don't see that Latics dropping down the leagues, and possibly being less and less able to pay their own way, will help us much.

The JJB/DW isn't on FIFA 11...
is it?

Oh shut up Brian.
