Josie we play Salford away not at home. Our next home match is against Huddersfield 30th June.

Oh aye! Wishful thinking I suppose & I’ve an excuse… my age & bad eyesight

That’s two excuses

All I can do is apologise, it must have been wishful thinking

[moto748]

So if the DW is not available, what are the options? The HJ? We wouldn't want to give them home advantage, surely? LSV?

Tricky. But we will get through. Wherever it is played.

[Raging Penguin]

Could it not be played at robin park, if there is insistence it cant be played at the DW, much lower attendance maybe, but limit it to home fans only

[doc]

Not enough capacity at RP even for the home fans as I doubt we would be allowed a capacity above 2k by the council due to lack of crush barriers etc.

[endoman]

Have Latics got the money for a pitch renovation? i presume it's just an overseed , is that needed for the 3rd division?

[Raging Penguin]

Even with a capacity of 2k, would this be enough to generate a profit, and hopefully provide a statement to the lactics that usually milk away potential income from warriors games, it was a thought at least.

[endoman]

Well, it's being played at DW, 18 June.
