Lets not kid ourselves here, this is not for rugby leagues benefit it's purely for IL. As someone as previously stated there is a test match in London during November where punters will probably see a better class of game with decent atmosphere. I just hope this doesn't cost us a home semi with a potential crowd of 20,000+ or God forbid a semi final spot. He could well regret this big time.

This is where my criticism of it lies really, although I do think we should be able to beat Cats in the UK. But the club really should be looking at the current attendances with some alarm and trying to do something to get people back. The regular season averages are over 2k down on where they were in 2011 and 2012, and we've missed out on the opportunity of playing Leeds, Saints and Wire at home in Super 8's, meaning the average is unlikely to rise much over the next couple of months. If we do not get a home semi on top of that, plus taking the "bonus" game to London, that's surely going to equate to a fair amount of potential lost revenue.

Can't see what benefits this will give the club but i will make the trip as missed the annual Bronco excursion this year.

Not daft enough

Mate, we've got fans in meltdown over travelling to the HJ for our semi against saints already. Don't make matters worse by suggesting something like this.

There'll be more Wigan fans travel to London than Leeds or Wire fans travel to the semifinals this weekend.

3300 sold by Tuesday so reckon we'll maybe take 4-4.5k. As you say, more will probably make the trip to the New Den but given the opponents the atmosphere may be somewhat lacking.

As if!

Just looked at the prices for tickets top price £35 not many rugby fans will pay that to watch a normal match
