I think they moved to Billinge if its the same family..
I too did my time looking for sammy seals on the gant.
If my memory serves me right where the two houses at the side of a shit works.
PS.Keep the pitch as it is..No tippy tappy passing at the back.4 goals and three points.up the tics.
I like the bit where they are bragging about being our Tenants….. :D [/quote]
It’s a fair point though. The position suits Wigan down to the ground. One of the top 3 grounds in the league and we pay absolutely NOTHING for the maintenance of it :D
Oh, and to any of my rugby brethren reading this, i didn’t put that as the link. Cheers Jay :lol:

The Keck! used to be behind the co- op at the crossroad between woodhouse lane and frog lane near the brick. the DW is built on the gant ie used to be wigans biggest tip :P
The water table is so bad in the area, the drains that are supposed to drain water off the pitch/stadium, sometimes back up, up the drains, when we have a lot of rain.
It’s a problem they could, and should have solved when they made the stadium. It’s a design fault.
I see the rugby lot are claiming that their M62 v’s 4 States in Oz, charity game is now “ruined” and the pitch will stop their “free flowing rugby” – how exaclty ? The ball is in the air a lot anyway. Surely their super fit athletes can run on mud ? They only do 15min shifts before being subbed anyway.
When they played rugby in the winter at Central Park and the pitch was like a ploughed field it never stopped them playing “free flowing rugby” and dominating the sport at the same time.
Have the rugby lot now got a little bit precious now that their game is controlled, and propped up, by BSkyB ? They’ll be wearing fecking snoods next.
Despite all the money supposedly spent the pitch looked a right mess yesterday. The bad news is there’s only one football fixture and no rugby fixtures before the Man Utd game. That means the pitch wont be completely shredded by the time Fergie’s boys come to town, which could be a bad thing – maybe DW could arrange some local polo club to come and train on it all week so that it resembles a ploughed field come kick-off time. I reckon Berbatov, Nani & co might not fancy it as much then!
Any idea if they’ll be doing £10 tickets for this one?

It’s a fiver for the polo, but no idea regarding the Man U game.
