Kick and chase at the Reebok

[Worthy4England]

but to say it fecks up the pitch is just wrong.

But we've all seen games of rugby damage football pitches haven't we?

Scrums can completely chew up muddy pitches, and even rooks and mauls too, given the bigger studs used in rugby boots (and their bigger wearers).

those bastard rooks are always after the worms n'all!

It's not bloody chess!

Rucks.

The DW's problems were not down to rugby league at all. Their drainage system was, and may still be, an utter disaster. I know this for a fact as I have a very good mate (my best man, in fact) who is a director of one of the top pitch management companies in the UK - gets involved at many grounds, football and both rugby codes and other sports. Before you ask, he's not been involved at the DW or Wembley to my knowledge. Done a lot of work at the Millenium Stadium over the years though.

It's taken me all these years to finally post an ITK contribution - and it's about Wigan Athletic! Doesn't seem fair really.

On another forum someone has suggested that the Reebok is being considered as a stadium for the 2015 rugby world cup.

Am just trying to clarify as I thought the grounds had already been decided.

Yep, its bollox.
