The pitch looked fine towards the end of the Oldham game on Saturday. This week will be a test of it as its forecast to be pretty wet all week and on game day.
Unless they have some essential work that needs doing to surface (which would mean the Latics game against Bury also being called off/moved)I seriously hope Wigan aren't being made to move a game simply to protect the pitch. Another game of football could easily have been played on the surface on Sunday (the day after the Oldham game) so I don't see why there would be a fuss.
These issues can't keep cropping up. It's embarrassing and is putting people's noses out of joint. The rugby club has an average attendance of roughly 4-5,000 more then Latics at the moment and I don't see why they should be treated as the poor relation. I support and go watching both clubs but there's an obvious bias towards one at the minute.
