A few seasons ago Chelsea had a pitch that looked more like a cross between a ploughed field and a beach and played on it for a large part of the season. The Premier League weren't bothered. The Premier League is controlled and driven by the clubs in it, particularly the bigger clubs. I think that this proposal has more to do with finding a way to get rid of clubs like Latics and Hull City from the PL. By creating such a ruling the PL cubs will have a way of expelling clubs such as Latics who do not put as much into their coffers as more well supported clubs would. The football league used facilities as a reason to prevent clubs that won the conference from entering the football league. The PL which is a big clique will look to such a ruling as a way of getting rid of clubs like Latics that despite their poor support seem able each year to do enough to avoid relegation and are thus able to stay in the PL under the current conditions.

Sh[ii[/it-stirring Daily Wail hack succeeds in winding up some RL fans shocker.

This should worry latics and hull..the FA will know they cant stop the rugby teams sharing

along with Chelsea's pitch which is in an awful state dont see charles small minded uninformed sale comenting on their pitch

Simple solution - relegate the Lactics and keep everyone happy.

could come sooner than you think.

Won't matter before long anyway ..Latics are in free fall and heading for the Championship....can't wait until they change that sign at Bryn island which states 'Home of Premiership football and superleague Rugby' next year it will say 'Home of Superleague Champions and 2nd rate football'

Couldnt care less whether it says 'Home of Premiership football' or '2nd rate football'. Just as long as says 'Home of Superleague Champions', thats all matters.....

this is sloppy writing as bad as i have ever seen. it`s full of "INSIDER SAYS" , "SPOKESMAN SAYS" no hard facts to be seen anywhere. all i can summise is that he spent all easter on the lash and this is the best he could come up with with a big hangover and a looming deadline









rant over, going for a lie down in a dark room

*Like*

Rugby does no were near as much damage as football as the DW ground staff have admitted. We have a 50 year lease it would cost a fortune to buy it out but like many rugby fans i would leave the DW tomorrow for a ground with standing like what we used to have.

If the Premier league are that bothered then we will gladly except around £50 million to leave the DW and build our own ground

With alot of change.

Compensation for being thrown out of the DW

Or

They would have to build another stadium for Wigan Athletic.

Buying T*sco out so the ground can be built on Central Park will cost us a few quid though.

We have a similar thread on the Hull board with much the same answers





The KC is owned by the city council and we like Hull city have a twenty five year lease as joint major users of the stadium. It would be Hull City that would have the major problem as they could neither force us out or buy the stadium. I can see City going down anyway so that will not be a problem for us much longer with the prospect of them being in administration as well, but its a funny old game is soccer.



Anyone thought of the Old Trafford angle on this as well, we would have to find another venue for the grand final and the Wembley stadium is crying out for more use.



I would not worry about it as it would certainly fall foul of the EECs restraint of trade regs if they did push it







Imagine you back at Central park with Thomas Leuluai tearing down the canned fruit aisle passing it too Iafeta Paleaaesina only to find he was still in the Pizza queue

drives me mad this.

the pitch yesterday was a joke for me. (considering its not long been replaced).



for me, the problem yesterday appeared to be the lenght. the state of it was clear due to the fact that it is cut so short. this clearly is due to the pansie-ball lot.

they want it short for their (none existant) silky passing on the ground in order for them to win matches!

as soon as they put they go on their summer holidays and the grass is allowed to grow to a satisfactory lenght, the pitch looks miles better.



yet WE get the bloody blame.



rant over

Agreed!!

It's like something out of Deliverance on that stupid forum - talk about making me feel ashamed i'm from the same town as the inbred morons.

after reading that, i can only imagine the teachers of the towns schools for special needs are made up that afew of there students are managing to put together afew sentances.

They are unreal.
