I genuinely cannot wait for this. I love the London games. They're also a lot easier (and cheaper) for me to get to. I will have to miss the Thursday night home games so this will go a little way towards making up for that.

No it isn't Wigan have said all along that if they have four home games in the playoffs then one may be moved as an on the road game.
The 15th home game was always a "free" game for season ticket holders. Suppose we play Hull, the average gate over the last 8 years is around 13K. Anything above 3.5K PAYING customers is a bonus (allowing for 9.5K season ticket holders). I know it's not that simple as there would be ground hire, advertising etc to cater for but I believe the RFL would also help with some of the expenditure particularly as they are considering taking one of the Test matches v NZ down there.

I may be unique in this but the fixtures have done me no favours this year workwise. I looked at which games I could go to and realised that a season ticket would not really benefit or disadvantage me. The problem is that in his interview Ian Lenegan does not talk about the twenty fifth game, only about one big game being on the road. Unless Wigan Today misquoted him this suggests that it could be some other game. If that is the case then we as fans are making decisions with severely bounded knowledge. Transparency would have been appreciated.

if you look at Bilkos post on the previous page it clearly states that this on the road game will only take place as the 15th game so if Wigan don't make the top four it won't happen anyway.

Surely they could make a full weekend of it and do a double-header with the cross-code game against Saracens, perhaps tie it in with the premiere of Mickey Rourke's Gareth Thomas movie.

They already told us this before we paid up! /thread
