Nigel Posted January 9, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted January 9, 2010 The pitch wasn't even covered? Why bother with the pitch inspection at all, what were they hoping for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparey16 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 this week was meant to be fantastic - driving up to blackburn then to wigan. I was more excited about this week than i was about christmas. Only for both games to be called off. **** shite weather, bit of snow and the country goes into **** meltdown.

lammy123 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 The pitch wasn't even covered? Why bother with the pitch inspection at all, what were they hoping for? exactly - a bit of graft to cover the pitch last night may have seen it on. It was like they just gave up when the heating broke. At least it wasn't due to them not being arsed to clear the snow from round the ground like some clubs (bindippers) looks like another weekday trip up north then!

Maradona10 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 A bit coincidental that Martinez's Men trained on the pitch before the heating broke, maybe his fancy Latin players didn't enjoy the weather like they did at VP earlier this year! **** it going to play FIFA and kick their ass!

Vojskovoda Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 **** Wigan **** up their own under-soil heating. This is annoying me now... two consecutive games of ours getting called off, which is bad because this game is going to have to played during mid-week at some point now. Oh well, shit happens but the Blackburn game on Thursday better get played! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daholteend Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I suspect the real reason is that they couldn't provide enough heat to defrost the humble pies they were expecting to eat Drat ! and I had just filled my thermos with cowing Bovril ! Oh well on the bright side it gives Milner a few more days rest to get over any injuries he might have been suffering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoD Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 FML a frozen pitch in 2010 didn't think that would happen. Now we wait for Thursdays game to be called off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stato Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I think people are being harsh on Wigan. The article says the undersoil heating has been running on full power for over a fortnight - it's just sod's law that it broke down at 5pm last night and they couldn't get the parts to fix it at such short notice. I very much doubt putting covers on would have made a big difference. Not sure what more Wigan could have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
