Think if you look back mate I never had any problem with Wigan bringing a game to London in fact I was and am quite happy with it. if it raises the profile and interest in the capital, great! Not sure if you noticed but he rest of the homes games they play are 200 miles away so it's unlikely they are trying to steal fans from us or skolars in London.
If they get people in to watch the game that have never seen it before then rl in London is the winner

To be honest Wigan playing a game in London can't do any harm, if they market it and get some nuetrals in and put on a decent game then the results can only be positive for the game in the south.
Sadly the eng nz game was not what you might call a classic and for non rl fans New to it quite probably very dull, so an open entertaining Wigan game might show what the game can be like

Wigan's home game on Easter Monday with HKR is double booked at the DW with the Latic's . Now that would be a nightmare if that was the game chosen . Bank holiday traffic and all.

Nightmare for all except me as London games are the easiest games of the season to get to .

Well f**k my hat, I didn't know that! Come all without, come all within, we're London Broncos not the H********s!:16679.jpg

So an opportunity for a double header? No, thought not!

Skolars would probably get that gig if offered.

Skolars are only playing on the Good Friday away
at Hemel that weekend. Missed the Wigan fixture this term so hope to make it next season. Hopefully versus Catalan once more.

Wont be Catalans as they are our first game of the season and at home . The London game is going to be a regular season game this year not a Super 8 game .

I am still waiting for you know who to show me where I said the game was just a publicity stunt!

Really do hope they co-ord it properly and dont clash with our home game, cant really see the pull of a double header, RL fans are pretty parochial and I could not see the Wigan fans wanting to turn up early or stay late to watch us against someone like Batley or Sheffield. For the neutrals coming to get a first taste of the game, i think the same applies, reckon they would watch one and not the other. If it does go ahead I really do hope that Broncos and Skolars work beside Wigan to promote the game as a whole during the event and raise the awareness of RL in and around London

I'm sure it would be a good test of the fabled temporary stands that can be sorted out. If not I'm sure another ground would work.

I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg



Think Wigan, will be looking for a Professional Ground! and aim for even more than 8,000 with more lead time.

Gone a bit quiet on this subject, we were all told an announcement was imminent.

Have Wigan got a nasty case of Bronco-itis? icon_wink.gif

I thought that we would have had the big announcement regarding this game by now. They made enough noise about it a month or so ago.
Will it ever happen? Who knows?
