I'm no fan of Ian Lenagan, and certainly no fan of the H*******s link up - but you're right , sadly!

Whilst I accept that Ian Lennegan has more of an idea on marketing than David Hughes. I am sure commercially they are much more professional than we have ever been.
What I would say is Wigan RLFC might be the biggest team in Wigan, but they are almost nothing in London. Mention Wigan around here and most people think of Dave Wheelan and Wigan Athletic.
Mr Lennegan should focus his attention on this mighty Northern Powerhouse based in Manchester, that is being developed instead of making waves in London.

I read elsewhere that Wigan hope that this London game would piggy back on all that the RFL have done the game in London.
Sorry am I missing something here !
My belief is that they have done more for Bradford than they have for London. Most of that was putting money into a big hole in the ground.

I seem to remember an Ian Lenegan owning London's only Super League club before someone of the same name took over at Wigan. I don't recall offices in Victoria and successful corporate sponsorship then, or RL in London hitting heights of exposure.

Would that have been the team that had 8k ish at the Stoop against St Helens? And the publicity shots of Dizzee Rascal in their home shirt? The one that held Summer Camps for kids? The one that had End of Season events for sponsors and general supporters to mix with the players? The one that bussed supporters for free to a Cup game in Leeds? The one that hosted Melbourne and Manly before the World Club Challenge? The one with the marketing team? The one with a plan?

In order: The team that had 2k ish in September 2007 against Salford, yes, Summer camps still happen, yes, don't know, not during Ian Lengan's time, not sure - you'd have to ask Gutters, possibly not a great one.
My point is that Ian Lenagan was the owner between 2005-2007, and could have done the same thing then for the Broncos, but didn't, and I'm not sure what he did helped. I'm sure some would say the opposite occurred. I've nothing against him, I just don't think because he has initiated this it will work.

Lenegan came in at the end of 2005, so he "owned" the club for 2 years.
The best supported period in the clubs SL history over a period at one stadium as one club was as Harlequins RL.
After he had been told he could not contribute and had to go, SPORTS CAFE sponsored us for another season to the tune of 250k! Guess who owned Sports Cafe at the time?
Lenegan......3 years later we got Selco for 30k.
Lenegan paid for Wigan fans to travel to the stoop in 2008....STILL THE LAST TIME WE ACHIEVED A CROWD THAT SIZE and more than we will get at the HIVE all regular season this year.
Lenegan understood/understands the need to create an events and engage large corporates. His Marketing team offering Heinz a deal for the JJB when we played there in 2009 was a precursor to Heinz becoming a sponsor of SL
Lenegan took over at wigan with 13k average and delivered 15k....that's a 14% increase in 3 years. Lenegan left us in 2008 and in the same 3 years we DROPPED 20%.
Ian Lenegan could kill small furry animals and be cruel to Children for all I know, but he is not, in any way culpable for the demise of the club we support.
I reckon Wigan will fill a 20k seater stadium...I wish them all the best and I hope Hughes is suitably ashamed of what he's done to the Broncos....
