You dirty sods!

No training for Wigan Wheelchair Rugby League Club today due to the "disgusting state of the sports hall"!

Can't say I'm surpised. I went on Friday afternoon and first think i smelled was sick. Think that floor would have taken a few spilled beers over the last few days.

thats disgusting mate......complain to the leisure dept head.

its a SPORTS facility for wigan council tax payers, not a place where anyone from anywhere can come and have a booze up.......thats what PUBS are for.
IMO it should never be held there again.......i'll complain as well mate.

The Beer festival was a charitable event, and they would have paid to hire the room.

No it isn't. There's Ashton Baths, Howe Bridge, Leigh sports village and Tyldsley. Although I do agree with you on that point. The baths that are open just aren't of a good quality or good size, and I include the one at the sports village in that.

pt 1. wouldnt the wheelchair rugby have paid to hire the room? as i said, its a SPORTS facility. If they want to use it for charitable events, then do it via SPORT........that way it wont get messed up for the next people in there.

pt 2. i live in higher ince...my girls (15 and 11) go on the bus. Its hardly fair to expect em to travel to the other ones you've mentioned.
btw...this isnt the first time.

iirc the rersidents of tyldesly had similar complaints to mine a few weeks ago........ie going there and finding the public excluded for some reason.

I know they did. I was laughing at the state of the room not the fact they couldn't train.

Do you have to have a moan/whinge about everything?

The festival is held every year and it raises good money in the process. Robin Park should have had the organization to clear the place up in time, or just NOT take bookings for the Sunday morning.

(Puts on curly wig) Calm down, calm down!

My original post was partly tongue in cheek, although there was certainly plenty of frustration.

I would of thought a quick mopping would have done the job to be honest.




For the record (as some on here can testify) there used to be nobody in the world liked a pint more than me............









.....until I saw the light!

in a word......yes.

whats wrong with holding it in another council leisure dept venue?
monaco, haigh hall, formby hall, ince public hall , aspull civic hall ? that way nobodys sports affected.
dont forget, beside sunday morning the hall couldnt be used for sport for 3 days at least.
