With all honesty I don't think a 4G pitch would improve things a lot, with the water table being so high and the drainage so inadequate, it would be like squelching about on a soggy carpet with Dougie water coming back up through the 4G drainage holes.

Really, the whole thing needs tearing up and doing again properly, but neither ourselves nor Latics would want to be the ones who gave up some home games to do as I'd imagine it's a lengthy procedure.

We could make Leigh Sports Village a busy place for a couple of months if the decision was made  . |

The main difference being that the Metro/Council would close any pitches if they were that bad |

Exactly right. It's called Marsh Green for a reason. It was simply built in the wrong place, as lots of people said at the time. A better site would be roughly where Tesco car park is now, but... |

| Not sure if anyone has noticed but we've had rather a lot of rain in these parts this past winter?
There was surface water all over the pitch. It simply isn't draining away.
A little common sense must prevail and the Latics Youth Team/U21s should play elsewhere for now. |

Confirmed on Wigan Athleyics official site. A new pitch will be in place in time for the game against Oldham Saturday.
Much needed!

Will that be an advantage or disadvantage to Wigan for the Brisbane game ?.  |

Any truth in the rumour you are playing the game against Salford at Widnes?

I'd have thought that Brisbane would benefit more from a dry track than Wigan
