I think it's a really good thing Wigan are doing this. They're the ideal club to attract people and sponsors there and as a sport we need to attract the people and sponsors from London.

I do wish the RFL had given it a bit more of a marketing boost though. I'd forgotten it was happening until I saw this thread.

Surely if you're hoping to attract Londoners as casual fans, you'd need to have turnstiles offering cash entry on the day?

Londoners aren't going to have applied to the DW ticket office in advance.

Not sure how many Blue Chip directors will wish to spend their family Saturday at Millwall!

Great idea to take some games "on the road" especially into an area that the RFL would like to expand the game.

Are Wigan being compensated for the loss of income from the game and if so, how much and who is paying them.
If not, it would be a hefty loss of revenue and a fair inconvenience for their fans.

It's not an RFL initiative. Our chairman has done it all himself so no one is going to compensate us.

Great to hear Wigan players on national radio promoting the game. Matt Smith on 5live on Friday and Dan Sargeson on the Danny Baker show this morning.

I'd be surprised if Wigan are being compensated. Are NRL teams compensated for jetting off to Perth or Darwen? Maybe they are, but that's a whole different magnitude of expense.

perhaps it was another weekend they weren't allowed to play at home again so decided to go to London. would have been a bloody dear week for wigan fans had they got to the cup final last week. not much thought for them and their pockets

The wendyballers are playing away from home today...

HEY! Stop letting facts get in the way of a post from a Leeds fan.

Reasonable crowd, enough for them to give it another next summer I reckon. Be better to pick a weekend when the RU and football isn't on though surely

I went today purely for the chance to see live super league as I don't get to go too often. 8k plus seemed a little generous to me.

The rugby union was a little unfortunate but England playing away wasn't necessarily a bad thing as it meant none of the London teams were playing.

Largest Super League crowd in London for 9 years.
