If its playing on a 'bad' pitch that's causing the problems, what's their excuse for losing 9-1 on a 'good' pitch !!!!!

Laughable! I couldn't care less what happens to latics.

And people wonder why there is such a divide between the football and rugby.

Lets be honest Martinez total disreguard for defending is letting Latics down.

It's a fact. Get off our pitch egg chasers

Martinez should be thankful. Lets face it, the pitch will be the only thing that 'might' keep them up!

Cool username, Mr. Waits.

Well spotted. "Wasted and wounded." Another believer?

Everyone believes in Tom dont they?

It will all look different in 10 years time.

Latics will have been relegated by then, probably going down a couple of divisions - they won't be able to compete in the Championship on small crowds without DW's support - and the balance of power with regard to the Stadium will shift permanently to the RL club.

It's not surprising that so many on here are hoping for this. Those who routinely ridicule RL fans for being skeptical about the groundshare arrangement need look no further than this thread.

While there may be an element of Chinese whispers regarding what Martinez supposedly said, after ten years of this I think there are plenty Wigan fans who are getting sick and tired of stories like this breaking just at the start of their season.
