How is the pitch so crap? Its not like that at Bolton or Blackburn and most other premier league pitches in the north west. Seems strange to me.

The clue is in the name of the area where the stadium is built.

The football club are using the pitch to try and help them stay up as its bringing sides down to thier level, so will not try and patch it up so we have to suffer on that bog of a pitch.

Both teams seemed to do fine today despite the weather.



So if it rained constantly for 3 days before and during a Wigan RL match and the pitch deteriorated because of it, you'd welcome a fine for us as well?

We dont own the pitch.let whelan pay it

Dave Whelan part with money he doesn't have to!

Seriously.......













Yeah mate, Dave Whelan has manipulated the clouds above the ground so it rains there and nowhere else. It's a bit like the Gruesome Twosome on Wacky Races

You're joking, right? After 25 minutes on that pitch Rovers couldn't pass the ball - it was falling 4-5 yards short each time.



Yes I would welcome a fine for us if we asked the opposition to play on a pitch like that. It was an absolute disgrace.

You couldn't pass it before that either.



Just admit you lost to the better side like the majority of Rovers fans I know and stop making yourself look stupid.

You mean in the first 20 minutes when we were tearing Wigan apart? Yeah, not going to agree we lost to the better side.



Obviously you know some rather strange Rovers fans. Nobody I've spoken to thought the better side won.

He paid £50K last February to have the pitch relaid.
