Not impressed one bit if i'm being totally honest. You fight all season to gain home advantage and then basically throw it away. Has the defeat in the challenge cup to Hull KR not sunk in with the club yet. Lets here all the do gooders now proclaiming that its good for Wigan and the sport blah blah

A brave decision to play there.

Works for me. I'm moving to London late August

I know we'd never hope to fill the larger stadiums, but Millwall ?! Jellied eels anyone?

You obviously do not know the area.

Agreed, let's hope we do not lose this game and miss the top 4 or the top 2 by 2 points, not a nice place to go as a football fan, nothing apart from riot police around the ground , can not see the great and the good from London travelling to the Den to watch this game, we shall see Mr Chairman.

why the hell do wigan want to play home game in London.?some right comedians running the game now.no wonder its going down the pan.

I can understand local fans' irritation, but I think it's just about on balance a move by the Club worth supporting. Perhaps I *would* say that, as London is nearer to me than Wigan (but still 100 miles away), but I'll be going, and encouraging my son and his friends, who live in London, to go. Everyone knows someone who lives in London. If we all encouraged our friends to go...

As for the area, there'll be no need for riot police for a SL game.

I'm surprised the club are offering free travel as I'm sure Lenagan mentioned that wouldn't be happening a while ago.

It does state that the free travel with have 'limitations' though on the official site so it may be the first 1,000 or similar.

In terms of throwing home advantage away- If we can't beat the travel sick French in London or any other place outside of France then we can't complain (although I appreciate our away form isn't sparkling).

Agreed. We should be able to beat Catalans in England. At least it's a Saturday, so can make a weekend of it in London.


The Den not that well served by the Tube, I see (like much of South London). I'll rely on my son's local knowledge for the buses.

Total disrespect to Wigan fans and season ticket holders from your Chairman.

He should fund this crazy venture himself.

Would think the limitations will be that free travel will be from the Wigan area only . Cant see them putting a bus on for me and the Lad lol .

Never mind Flights down and up on the same day already booked . Giants on the Thursday is a bigger pain in the backside .

I'm all for it , I think it's a great idea and we should be more positive about this.
We have to move the game and the club forward and we can't do that without taking risks and backing what the club is trying to do.
The pre-season match in London on a Friday afternoon is a prime example of thinking outside the box and it's proved popular and a success.
We should get down there in numbers and support the team and the club in this latest adventure.
