The simple fact is few sponsors working at our level will interested in Wigan and few sponsors looking for a Wigan type investment / return would touch us. Unless you happen to know the CEO sponsorship decisions are business driven generally and, sadly, we currently appeal to very different sectors. Hopefully London may be able to piggy back a few deals if Wigan open doors for RL down south. Possibly a few converts to the sport too.
It will be interesting to see what their planned investment in London rugby league coaching is. A few token lessons the week before any such game will be nice PR but no more. Fund a development officer or two down here to replace those lost a few years ago and southern RL could win big time.
Not totally convinced how long this will last mind.
