Had a look through the fence today whilst walking the dog. I’ve don’t work on there years ago and it looks to have improved such a lot. Pitches are in perfect condition and it looks altogether a very professional place.
Was wondering if the Bolton staff will be taken on and do we keep all the machinery etc. If not that will be another expensive affair.
Bolton have maintained this place to a top standard so hopefully there will be no corners cut on pitch renovations etc. I have noticed that every year a professional outfit are in there {Mallinsons one of the countries formost experts at this type of work} to re surface the pitch. Basicly the top layer of old grass and rootzone are stripped and then a new surface is created with rootzone and new seed. This usually happens as soon as the season finishes so let us hope we are still going to budget for this professional treatment.
Professional players need professional pitches.You make us sound like a Sunday league outfit. We are a very professional set up with (reasonable) financial backing.
More than Bolton.
I’m also impressed that they’ve been used straightaway rather than what we’ve had “they need to improve fitness levels”. Why did we buy them if they weren’t ready to hit the ground running?
Morsy and Colclough must think they’re in dreamland. They were with teams struggling, with presumably players who couldn’t see what they were trying to do, and now they’ve got players and systems that give meaning to their passes.
We have a big game on Tuesday and need full concentration for that. We were 3-0 up against a team who didn’t pose a threat (except if you look at the possibility we may not have had the penalty and Juusi didn’t make those saves then it would have been 2-2!), so no point in busting a gut or getting injuries or needless cards (excepting the last minute – even then we were sensible while Bury were to be honest being stupid in risking suspensions during a game that was lost).
I know it won’t make any difference, but how many polls on websites ever have?
That’s why I don’t “vote” in online polls and am not going to start now
And we say Warriors fans are bitter and twisted.
Well, maybe they are, but I really really don’t care. I probably wouldn’t take up the offer of a free ticket, but that’s more due to laziness and a lack of interest in the game.
I genuinely have no feelings for or against, in the same way as I have no real feelings for water polo or ski jumping. It’s not something I can be bothered with, but I certainly don’t trawl through the WEP for any post that meant I could add a comment to. Even mutty knows that.
IF, and it’s a huge if because of logistical problems, such a thing were offered, then those who want to take it can do so, I have no problem that they do, I hope they enjoy it; those who don’t want to don’t have to, and a poll on a website that we all recognise is not representative of the bulk of Latics support but which gives an outlet for some to air their views, is not going to make a ha’porth of difference to life as we know it.
Just a thought like but how’s about both clubs offering free admission to season ticket holders of the other team, might go some way to mending relations between fans.
(Puts tin hat on and awaits flak)Personally I think that’s a good idea.
Im only 10 minutes walk from runcorn town’s ground, who are not the main team – that title belongs to runcorn linnets, who im led to believe is the runcorn team we played in the FA cup in the 90’s. Funny how such a small town can have 2 football teams. I keep saying i’ll go & watch one of them one of these days but have never got round to doing it.Ashton-in-Makerfield hosts three teams.
You really ought to watch non-league.
Linnets however aren’t the same team we played. They went bust but fans had already formed a new team, Linnets.
Would have been nice to have been a simple Wigan Athletic purchase but face it nothing is ever quite what it seems in the crazy world of football finance.It’s really not complicated. Various parts are owned by different companies so that if one fails the rest don’t fall. So if the fooiball club were to go broke (which thanks to sound financial management at the moment seems unlikely) then the stadium and the training facilities are not at risk of having to be sold to service any debt.
It’s all comparative.
For a Northern Prem team, if they can get a game at a lower FL team’s ground and a share of a 3-4000 gate then it can be quite worthwhile. Doesn’t have to be Old Trafford or Anfield.
I’m sorry some people chose to name you personally and believe that was out of order.As GL will testify, I was the one who jumped to his defence when someone suggested it could be him. I did that because whilst I may not always agree with his views, I believe he has every right to say them as long as they are said with a decorum of respect for the audience it is aimed at. He argues his position in an adult manner.
That is true, mutty, and I am grateful.
