| Quote: Fishermanscap "So you'd rather watch RL in the championship but on a reasonable grass pitch or watch SL in a modern stadium on a state of the art 4G pitch. We will get kicked out if this doesn't work, you do realise that?
When that happens because you preferred grass I dread to think how 'Not happy with this one at all' you will be then.
Your logic is stunning.
Indeed, I think some people forget that a RL club is a business, we don`t have backers with and endless pit of money as some other clubs do, we need to be smart and ensure that Wakefield Trinity is sustainable moving forward and MC and JM are doing a good job in doing just that. Not only does it cut costs in terms of not paying to train somewhere else year round, we get an income for pitch hire (Albeit small) without having our pitch ruined and another cost saving is the maintenance, read somewhere on average it takes around 10-15k a year to maintain a pro playing surface, obviously there is an up font cost with the 4g pitch but financially we will be much better off in the long run.
Maybe after hearing NGBC`s concern they might just scrap all that though, maybe even revoke the deal they have signed with Lino.

Nah, a pitch is a pitch. There was a time when Rugby pitches had longer grass but they are all trimmed to a few millimetres these days. There is no difference IMHO. BV is a brilliant natural pitch but is no match for say Hudds or Saints pitch, which is laser flat and I believe partly synthetic. Not sure about Wigan though I suspect it is not totally natural. Headingly maybe, I'm not sure but then Leeds have an excellent training facility.
I think Grass pitches have had their day at this level. It's the harsh cost of living for all sports.

And we as a club that rents this

| I'm pretty sure that this opinion that Belle Vue has one of the best pitches is an opinion that is many years old that everyone clings to. I've seen it looking plenty muddy and messy on plenty of occasions. Better than the likes of Hull KR but no way better than the most of the other pitches in the top flight.
And the money will help.

I think Wigan has had a lot of drainage problems, which is why they've had to repair it so often during the rugby season, but I think it's sorted now.

| My dad used to say that BV was on top of a cinder base then sand and soil. I seem to remember while playing on the edge of the pitch as a very young boy this to be true.
