Look at the KC pitch – fine.
The pitch is fooked because of where the stadium is built simple as.
Oh and the groundsman has said that the football ruins the pitch more than the rugby, which if you think is about right. Look where the worst areas are. The goalmouth. Rugby is very rarely played in this area. Also, look at the damage done when a player slides on his knees celebrating a goal.(granted doesn’t happen much with us at the mo) That doesn’t happen at rugby. If you don’t believe me then fall on your garden and then get up again thirty-forty times. Then slide on it six or seven times. You’ll see that the slide affects it far more.
thanks pal i’ve ruined my jeans now! you are right the ground is built on marsh land that why its always knackered
I just can’t believe it should be as difficult as this to keep the pitch in decent nick. Perhaps it will work in our favour as games could become dog fights and more of a lottery but we may as well play a Stoke/Allardyce game if we are going to play on a bog every year.
Given the huge number of young extremely fit Wigan lads in the rugby team, I would have thought their demographic wasn’t fat old ladies, but maybe it’s a hoops and stripes optical illusion.Honestly we should just ignore the morons in the blue side of the town….yes I know some shatics fans who are decent blokes but they are the exception rather than the rule….90% of them are skin head hooligan idiots and their collective IQ wouldnt be above 60.
The best way to deal with them is just ignore them, eventually they’ll go away and die because latics in the premiership is just not sustainable
It would be quite amusing if they weren’t so sincere.
Cringeworthy.
Extreme views on both sides are equally cringeworthy. We should have gone out of our way to win over the hearts and minds of the whole town. We would have never won over the anti Latics brigade, but we could have made a better job of it.
Anyway, back to shouting on Birmingham. Not been a good week end so far, and a Wolves win is the last thing we need.The Huddersfield pitch is in good shape too, maybe its nothing to do with who plays on it or where the grounds built, maybe its the groundsman himself thats crap.

And they call us bitter Blues :roll:
Some nasty pieces of work on there
I love that NickyKiss guy’s signature:-
“Wigan – the home of 5 drives and a kick rugby” :lol:
How sad is his lfe?
I’m having one of them there signatures for myself:-
“Latics – the home of the misplaced pass and the last-gasp goal-line clearance” :(
All that RL board proves is that it is true what they say about what can happen psychologically to a baby conceived by an incestuous liason between brother and sister, father and daughter, or mother and son. :lol:
They really don’t like us, do they? :roll:
And why is it they have a load of pug-ugly 40-50 odd year old women who look like bad, fat, lesbians following them?

There are a few gems on there, but my favourite is:
‘There will be some foreign players who will have never played on grass before being signed’
Who? And where the hell does he think we’ve signed them from?

If he means such likes as the South Americans and Africans, I think it’s an unbelievable statement. Does he think they’ve been scratching around on a dirt pitch in some township, or something?
In that case, I suppose the Maori’s and ex-cons they bring over from down under, must have learned to play thugby by throwing the skulls of their cannibal victims to each other, a game which started by Captain Cook’s less than amicable appearance down their, in the 18th century. :lol:
If I remember rightly, the original reason why the pitch used to cut up at this time of year was coz the sub-soil drainage stuff had been compacted to closely & wasn’t allowing rain water to drain off
As such it was sitting in the soil & some sort of mossy/virus thing was killing the roots of the grass
So Whelco spent £500k digging it all up & putting the drainage shale in correctly
Last season (after the work was carried out) we had heavy rains all over winter but the pitch was fine
This season we have only had a problem after the persistant sub zero temperatures which has meant the undersoil heating has been running constantly.
Think I posted on here the other week in a similar thread that i was told by a mate of mine who used to work on the groundstaff at Bolton that if you do this it softens up the pitch & leads it to start cutting up as our present pitch is doing. Sure I read on the BBC website the other day Motherwell’s groundsman blaming prolonged use of the undersoil heating for the state of their pitch, so it could well be that combined with the heavy use it is now getting when it is in that conditionAnother comment I like is ‘football is the darling of the media’.
Last time I checked, football was still quite a popular sport. Maybe that’s why the media favour it over Rugby League?
“If they get relagated the stadium reverts to our ownership”
I find that one a bit odd :lol: :lol: :lol:
Have you ever come across a bunch of folk with such thin skins, you can only imagine the meltdown they’d have if they recieved the press Latics did.
Neither is it any suprise to see how out of touch they are when it comes to finances or the status of the stadium.
If they despise the DW Stadium so much there’s a simple solution, move to the LSV or Bolton.
