Quote: Wigg'n "2,500 non-Rugby League attendees interested in seeing a live game.
Did they use the Wembley figures by mistake?'"
I am suspicious of these figures. If Wigan is such a draw where have they been when we used to play London Broncos? Likewise the 2K of neutral but already RL fans. Where have they been hiding?
Clearly those who went had a good day out - as you do when you go to Wembley but had we got there this year how many would have wanted to make a second trip in so short a time?
If a regular league fixture is relocated next season as implied elsewhere I can only seeing it be Les Cats again as there is absolutely nothing to be gained from Leeds/Saints/Wire or any other team's point of view from agreeing to play in London. Just more cost for them and their fans and for what? To aid Wigan and its goal of attracting sponsors. OK....they really are going to do that!
