Find this amazing so must focus about keeping kids fit / playing sports and then you basically take away all the U7s and 8s pitches in one swoop

It would be a massive loss to the towns youngsters and the walking football members who use this facility to keep fit and healthy.

This was a gift from the national lottery for children in the community for help in keeping children active it’s also used for league tournament for u9’ & U8’s teams where will these teams & the children play?

Nearly all the young footballers in the area have started playing football at this facility. It would be a crime to not allow them to use it.

Please save the soccer dome for community use for every age. Where else indoors are hundreds of users going to exercise and stay fit?

Should be kept open for the good of the community, helping people of all ages to get / keep fit.

I am the Chairman of the Wigan & District Youth Football League. We have for the past 8 years ran our mini soccer under 7 /8 League from the Soccer Dome. Last season we finished with 73 teams playing football each Sunday Mornings, thats over 750 children each Sunday playing. To be kick out with 5 weeks to the season starting is a blow to all the kids who play there each week. Wigan Athletic have given no thought to the community, in Wigan and the areas around the town. We now have a few weeks to try and find a new home for the 700 children to play football each Sunday, I am discussed with the way this has been handle by the club. Keith Harris Chairman.

This facility should continue to provide activities such as ‘walking football’ for people within the community of a certain age. It’s vital for good health and well-being.
