Rugby does no were near as much damage as football as the DW ground staff have admitted. We have a 50 year lease it would cost a fortune to buy it out but like many rugby fans i would leave the DW tomorrow for a ground with standing like what we used to have.

If the Premier league are that bothered then we will gladly except around £50 million to leave the DW and build our own ground

With alot of change.

Compensation for being thrown out of the DW

Or
They would have to build another stadium for Wigan Athletic.

Buying T*sco out so the ground can be built on Central Park will cost us a few quid though.

We have a similar thread on the Hull board with much the same answers



The KC is owned by the city council and we like Hull city have a twenty five year lease as joint major users of the stadium. It would be Hull City that would have the major problem as they could neither force us out or buy the stadium. I can see City going down anyway so that will not be a problem for us much longer with the prospect of them being in administration as well, but its a funny old game is soccer.

Anyone thought of the Old Trafford angle on this as well, we would have to find another venue for the grand final and the Wembley stadium is crying out for more use.

I would not worry about it as it would certainly fall foul of the EECs restraint of trade regs if they did push it




Imagine you back at Central park with Thomas Leuluai tearing down the canned fruit aisle passing it too Iafeta Paleaaesina only to find he was still in the Pizza queue

drives me mad this.
the pitch yesterday was a joke for me. (considering its not long been replaced).

for me, the problem yesterday appeared to be the lenght. the state of it was clear due to the fact that it is cut so short. this clearly is due to the pansie-ball lot.
they want it short for their (none existant) silky passing on the ground in order for them to win matches!
as soon as they put they go on their summer holidays and the grass is allowed to grow to a satisfactory lenght, the pitch looks miles better.

yet WE get the bloody blame.

rant over

Agreed!!

It's like something out of Deliverance on that stupid forum - talk about making me feel ashamed i'm from the same town as the inbred morons.

after reading that, i can only imagine the teachers of the towns schools for special needs are made up that afew of there students are managing to put together afew sentances.

They are unreal.

Latics wont last much longer in the premiership anyway

Latics won't go down this year but next year could be a different kettle of fish altogether.
In reality there were only two relegation places this year with Portsmouth bringing new meaning to the phrase 'utter shambles'. Burnley did their best to help out Latics, Wolves, Hull City etc. by signing Championship failure Brian Laws. Next year there will be at least two clubs with money back in the Premier League and tight- Whelan will see his Latics sniffing round for bargain basement players with Blackburn (currently 11 points clear of Latics), and two from Wolves, Hull City and West Ham.

I do hope you're not comparing Rovers to Wigan.

Only in terms of budget

This one is my favourite. Can anyone translate it into English?

Yes.

I'm a cock from Skem, Been a Latic mon now for five years, watch them every week in the pub. Prior to that I supported Everton, thinking of going back to them actually.

Cheers

OMG is there another language in this town that nobody has told me about?

'reet' 'towd' 'thee' 't'neet'

What is wrong with these people???? Why cant they speak English???

I read an article somewhere that said the groundsman didn't blame the rugby or football for the condition of the pitch and it was actually the location that was the problem. Apparently there were still sewage tanks still left underneath where the pitch is and they are leaking gasses that kill off the fibre in the special grass, hence whyt every year it has needed to be resurfaced.

It will probably be a long time before this gas is totally exhausted, if it ever will be, and so bar digging the pitch up to take the tanks out (which can't/won't happen because of there being no time in the year to do it), the pitch is always going to deteriorate.

I can go with this version above others because of the amount of vents around the ground to help release the gasses, it is obvious they knew about it before they built the stadium, they just thought it would go away.

The ground would have never have been built over Sewerage tanks they would have had to be cleaned out and removed. I think what you are getting confused with are the vents all around the ground area. These are to exhaust marsh gas as the ground was built on a very marshy area of Wigan hence the cheap price that was paid for the land.
As i have said before the problem is grass does not grow between October and April (the football season) Most top PL clubs have sun lamps to fool the grass into growing and the top 4 or 5 in the PL like Man U have sun lamps that slowly track up and down the pitch to give an even growth.
