Re: Latics game
dave whealan used to be a football player for blackburn rovers until he got his leg broken! now he is just a business man and which team make him the most money is all he is concerned about. the pitch is always going to be in bad shape this time of year but as we dont use the pitch we cant be blamed for the state its in.
dont let your victories go to your head or your failures go to your heart
Re: Latics game
Who cares what Dave Whelan's preference is? We can't complain that money isn't going into the Warriros, can we.
As regards the state of the pitch, it is bound to get in a mess at this time of year with the bad weather and when we start to play on it, it is bound to get worse. Neither rugby nor football is worse for the pitch than the other. What are the alternatives though, we have a ground of similar standard to Knowsley Road instead of a modern stadium?

Re: Latics game
Have they ever heard of Wigan Rl have NOT Played on THAT pitch since Hull on the 15th September
who has played on it since... Yes you guessed the scum trespassing on a Rugby pitch to play a pathetic sport.

OOOOOO were the greatest club in the world!!!!
Re: Latics game
Most of the complaints about the pitch-sharing these days seems to come from commentators and summarisers either on Sky, national TV or in the dailies.
These of course are people who can't comprehend that there might be a world outside football, and certainly have no understanding of a town like Wigan, where football, at best, is only on level-pegging with another sport. So whether or not the rugby is to blame, it won't matter to them - all they can see is that Premiership football is being hampered by a poor pitch, which is a mortal sin and must be rectified by any necessary means, even if that equates with sacrificing the innocent.
The one good thing about Latics being relegated, if it happens, is that we'll see much less of these guys. It's nice to know that football folk are just as shallow as RL folk when it comes to talking all day about the top layer of the competition and forgetting that the other layers exist.

Re: Latics game
A couple of years ago, Jewell blamed us for the state of the pitch when we hadn't played on it for 4 months!
His team are such a load of manure that it should be in perfect condition for the start of our season.
Would love it of they went down.

Re: Latics game
I've been wondering if Jewell might recently have been gagged by his employers regarding this sort of thing. At one time, it was an ongoing issue with him. But I don't think he's mentioned it in quite a while now. Their captain recently had a pop, as I understand, but it was nothing more than a squeak - rather like his performances on the field.Alex the Warrior posted:

I think Jewell has more important things to worry about right now...Cruncher posted:
