Quote: Halfdan of t'wide embrace "Probably why I missed you, wasn't looking for someone dressed down! I'm going in to London for Broncos last home game so won't see you there either......
In all seriousness whatever the crowd was / wasn't hopefully the day met enough of Wigan's KPI's to be deemed a success. Ian Lenigan is one of the few figures at the top to still believe London is an important market. If he loses faith.....
Edited to say I see Ian is hinting it will probably be repeated next season but with a regular season fixture so they have longer to promote it etc. Final analysis of the bottom line yet to be done but he sounds upbeat about the corporate side etc.'"
Well my reading of it is that they'll try it again, the Wigan presence in London is increasing - Capital Challenge opposition for Skolars again, a tie up with Kings Colege Uni - while London continue to sink without trace with Cap'n Hughes at the helm. I suppose a lot will depend on how the crowd increases or decreases for next time , assuming there is one. Wonder if they'll play at the Den again? Think it was a pretty smart move playing at the ground of a team thst had been relegated and concerned about loss of revenue, it will surely have made Millwall more receptive to Wigan's approaches.
Will be absolutely gutted if Wigan do make a go of it when London have had so many opportunities to make it work down South! I mean how many times can one man/ club continue to shoot himself / itself in the foot?
