Exactly! And the reason London have never done this on the tube or at Waterloo when we were at the Stoop is ...........?

Just seen the ad pop up on the local newspaper's website ( South London Press). I get the feeling Wigan are putting more into promoting this one game than Broncos have for about 4 or 5 seasons.

London Bridge is currently FUBAR so I'm surprised the Broncos don't advertise there already.

An item on this game on Five Live this morning, we almost got a mention. Matty Smith did say they have two former London players in their first team.
We got some credit there,
Went on about how much potential there is for RL in London. Heard it all before.
Did make a change to here Rugby League getting good air time. Pity it was about Wigan in London, not the Broncos.

Wigan showing what hard work and marketing spend can achieve! Why would anyone not applaud that?
Good luck to them.... If they get anything like the 10k they are looking for I can see it becoming a regular thing.

Good luck to them and its only after the game if anyone can really tell if the effort and the expense has been worth it. And that benefit is not the actual crowd size it's the corporate bit that matters. Anyone know how much they have spent in cash and personnel terms on what is after all just one event in a long season?
And then there is the magic ingredient of a successful team (brand if you must) which might help just a little bit.

I doubt they care if they make a loss or not this weekend as it is part of a bigger scheme. The "sold" an entire stand to Heinz for a game v London a few years back and it wasn't long after that BIG SOUP became an associate/partner/sponsor or whatever Red Hall spin them as this year.
If Lenengan had been permitted to stay at London we'd not be looking forward to pub football at a wedding venue next year.....it really is that simple. For all the people on here and who no longer post, this weekend will be a demonstration of what could have been if the club hadn't been owned and run by idiots. Wigans PR machine has been in overdrive the last few weeks and the results are there to be seen.......our version of that was Buck and Dusty Tube surfing!  |

Yes my point was about the corporate bit and the longer term. And I didn't ask about the past and if Leneghan had stayed as part of London, think we know it would have been different today. But not sure that answers the cash and personnel invested question about this particular game.

I doubt Wigan will be publishing their spend details, but it won't be short of 70K IMHO......not a massive spend when you consider the 40k a week Hughes flushed between 2008-2013. |
