roads aren't that bad in wigan, the main road through aspull is fine and past wigan pier, I presume it's a parking issue as the roads around B&Q and upto the soccer dome haven't been used much

No one has gritted around the stadium itself, just the main entrance and ticket office.

The latics game was called off because the concourse around the ground was too slippy, can't see that being the case at KR, but neither can I see them having undersoil heating. or do they?

Plunging temperatures and heavy snow has put Wigan's festive friendly at St Helens under threat.
A decision may be made as early as today on whether the match this Sunday, December 27, goes ahead.

Saints spokesman Mike Appleton last night said club officials will carry out a pitch inspection, as well as safety checks on the terracing and surrounding area, following further snow yesterday.

Yes they do.
I'm not sure if they do, Josie. One of my colleagues goes watching them occasionally, he's an Everton fan first and foremost, and he's always taking the mickey out of the die hard Stains fans, for not having undersoil heating.

I'm probably wrong Sutty, in fact I will go as far to say I am. :wink:

For some reason, I always thought they had. Have just been chatting about it with someone and we can't make our minds up. I said yeah he says nay lol
