Not heard anything. Has the middle been relayed? Thats what i thought at the Cas game. In case you were away when it happened they burnt the centre of the pitch trying to dry it out (for a latics match)and it left a big brown stain down the middle. It looked like the entire length down the middle had been dug up

Yeah think it was Steve Bruce who mentioned it, we have 2 away games in a row already and they are going to see if we can swing a third leaving technically about 4 weeks to get it done.

Not sure but why does it have to be in the rugby season

Sat 14 Jun Catalans Dragons Away 20:00 - -
Sun 22 Jun Castleford Tigers Away 15:30 - -
Fri 27 Jun Harlequins RL
This is the 4 week peiod from June. I havent heard anything but theres 2 games away on the trot, could be the best time to do it. They could make us go to huddersfield or go down and maybe down to quins again.
