Quote Fishermanscap="Fishermanscap"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.'"
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.
