The Evening Post are reporting that the match will be played at Orrells Edge Hall Road. (read linked story for full article.)

Mike Gregory is keen to play this match somewhere, as it is our only pre-season match.

as the switch is going to reduce the attendance perhaps dave whelen and maurice should make up the lost revenue for terrys charity! or use the revenue from latics game against burnley as that did the damage

has anyone read the wigan observer this week there is a latics fan in there saying the rugby should be kicked out of the jjb because of the state of the pitch! (now i know we are not supposed to talk about them its all things rugby but surely these are mitigating cercumstances.)how can we ruin the pitch when clearly we havent played on it!

I was reading the footy pullout from the Sun on Monday and it implied the same thing, I also thought it odd they'd damaged the pitch by not playing on it
