:evil: I am absolutly sick of Latics fans complaining about us messing up the pitch. I was watching the game against Everton yesterday, and was annoyed to hear the commentator say somthing along the lines of:

And the pitch at the JJb is in poor condition, it's making problems for the players. Obviouly the Rugby League team play hear as well, and they are having the same problem in salford with the ground sharing with a rugby team.
What!!! We havn't played on it in about 5-6 monthes!
Theres no need to take poor groundsmanship out on the warriors. I'm also sick of latics fans complaining about Wheelen not getting us out.

well said, i am a latics fan (don't kill me :)) but it's annoying when they always compare it to the rugby, which it will never be as widley known than. As my friend said, 'stupid footballers ruining our rugby pitch!' :lol:

I listen to football on the radio on Saturdays and they always having a debate about football and rugby team sharing a pitch.

Watford & Reading both share ground with Rugby Union team and they are always going on about the state of the pitch especially after the Watford v Latics was canceled due to a water logged pitch.

Obviously the weather causes problems to the pitch but the main problem with ground sharing is Football want short grass to help with passing were rugby prefer slightly longer grass so the pitch does turn to mud.

When Latics stopped playing on the pitch last season it looks great week in week out.

If you play on grass during winter then you will damage it. So wohmever plays on the grass at this time of the year is to blame.

:D I it is

Bit sad actually to see them struggling. I hope they avoid relegation. I think DW needs to put his hands in his pockets.

DW was always a Rugby man untill football latics got into the prem and started making him more money. I wonder if we'll get more dough if latics get relegated? :D
