After a very harsh winter and the intense usage in a short period the decision has been made yesterday that the current surface at the DW Stadium will be replaced. Head Groundsman Ian Forshaw and his team will get to work immediately after the game against Catalans Dragons next Friday.

Just listening to 606 on 5live. Makes me sick.
totenham fan: wigan pitch is a disgrace

spoony: they play rugby all year on that pitch as well.

fan: Premeir League shouldn't allow RL on footy pitches,the pitch is a state.

Canadian Pundit: you would think they could arrange to play the rugby after the football.
These guys so are so well informed aren't they? We played two matches on that pitch adn the last was over a week ago. Hull don't seem to have a problem do they?

Gary Lineker started all this off on MOTD!

It really irritates me when I think of the condition the pitch is left in after our final game of every season!! :angry: :angry:

I pays my money on a season ticket to watch Wigan Rugby League Football Club play "their" matches at "their ground", not the JJB or the DW it's the "New Central Park" from now on, lets get our own identity back!,It's Welco's problem regards the pitch not ours, otherwise car parking revenues will have to be re-embursed, loss of beer revenue, pie sales, do you think "God" Whelan will forego his cut, I think not!

If anyone saw the highlights of Tottenham v Wigan Wanderers on MOTD, have a look at the 6 yard area... where the goalkeeper stands it's all mud. That isn't rugby.

Just sent a e-mail of to compalin to the b.b.c about Gary Lineker being biased against rugby, when again he raises the topic after the latics game and laying the blame of the pitch to Wigan Rugby playing at DW.He fails to understand the way the fixtures work and that wigan have only played two home games this season. The latics have played 15 matches this season at home.
This resulting in the pitch being like it is now before the rugby season stated.He has with these comments started other supporters,commentators and papers to also start jumping on the bandwagon to blame the rugby.He should get his facts straight before spouting off :sly:

I think when Lenegan took over at Wigan he said he would look into expanding Edge Hall Road for the purpose of smaller games but it was deemed too expensive. The ground would require at least another 5,000 to accommodate Wigan's lowest attendance last season and nearly another 10,000 to accommodate attendances against Crusaders and Catalans. Anyway it wouldn't make sense to move to a smaller ground for any game when Lenegan is aiming to increase the attendances at games.

The pitch looks perfect when the football season finishes, and the area under the posts is marked off during pre-match warm-ups for rugby because of the problems the FOOTBALL causes.

This problem was meant to have been solved when Whelan 'forked-out' for a new pitch last season or the season before but clear it didn't fix the problem so perhaps Whelan should invest in a pitch that is tougher and WILL last longer.
