Quote moto748="moto748""Massive time and cost"? Is it massive time and cost to go to, say, Hull, too? Wigan is just off the motorway, and well served by the rail network: London is hardly inaccessible. For one game a year...'"
Hull is two regular season away games.
London for what could and should be a home game is not the same at all. It's further, costs more and takes longer. About twice as much in each case. I call that quite massive.
And, to repeat myself, what if we lose, when we could have played at home? That's potentially a gamble with our whole season that I don't think the club should take.
