Springfield Borough, what a mess that made of the pitch too.
Again like selling the steel work from the Shevvy End done to try and get some extra income. Again another tip for Bolton, get a lodger in to contribute to help pay the bills.
I know, look at the state of the pitch in this video some 3 years after they finished playing there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLH7pJN1Lb0
It does look pretty dreadful here though but given the video above I’m not sure how much blame can be laid at Boroughs feet

The thing with rugby ruining the pitch, is that it always seems to be ruined in places such as the 6 yard box, penalty spot and centre circle which are where the majority of football games take place in terms of number of people standing in one spot but not rugby games. You don’t see the whole goal line being ruined for example when 13 blokes run up and down it or the wings that have 4 people running up and down it for 90 minutes non stop.
Anyway, seeing as Wigan rugby played there some 30 years before Latics were even founded does that make Springy their original ground similar to Everton and Anfield?
