Ian Lenagans monthly interview is due soon on Wigan t.v. They were asking for questions on their twitter feed so mine was why Millwall instead of Fulham? I guess we'll have to wait and see if he answers it.

I did not think that he idea of bringing a Wigan home game down to London was to attract fans from Kent to Rugby League.

The idea was to attract Blue Chip Sponsors to Wigan RLFC.

Ian Lenagan is not the business man he would have you believe his is, if he thinks he can achieve this at Millwall. Of all places.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Gilingham have been complaining that West Ham's sweetheart deal to get the Olympic Stadium would eat into their Kent hinterland support.

I always thought that Millwall town was full of charity shops?

If he is he must be related to one of those illegal immigrants .

It is Charlton who upset Gillingham with their efforts to lure Kentish fans, cheap buses etc.

Orient are the ones upset with West Ham.

Tickets and free travel have been on offer on the clubs website well before the stated midday start time

Season ticket holders can claim their free tickets and travel and buy other tickets and travel (£26)

i was offered the free travel when booking my tickets, but it would take me longer to get to Wigan than to get to London...asked if the coach could pick me up at Corley services.....didn't get a reply...lol

I have been loud in my support of IL but this idea is ridiculous beyond comprehension. It has no sporting value whatsoever. It inconveniences his own fans, players and coaching staff. You'd be hard pressed to think of a more unsuitable venue. Interestingly the website fails to mention that the New Den is the home of Millwall FC. I wonder why?

I also wonder how many of those claiming their free tickets will find leaving Wigan at 7 o'clock on a Saturday morning beyond their will to follow the team. I predict an embarrassment for Mr Leneghan with Wigans lowest ever crowd for a home game in the summer era.

There seem to be discounted ticket offers all over for this now (they were priced too high to start off with IMO). ST holders can get 20% off for friends and family in addition to the free ticket for themselves and I've just had an email off Superleague offering a 20% discount as well. Suggests their not selling very well now that the ST holders who are going have snapped up the free ticket and coach offer. Can't see there being more than 4 or 5k on, with the majority having not paid for a ticket. I wonder what IL was hoping for/will deem a success?

To be fair, the 20% discount applies to everyone if you buy before a certain date. Wigan offered the discount, Super League are simply passing on the message.

I would hazard a guess at around 7 to 8k.

They're also now 2-for-1 on Ticketmaster. Say 2000 season ticket holders and maybe 500 free corporate tickets, really can't see another 5000 paying to go.

I agree with you. And just because people have snapped up free tickets and travel doesn't mean they will definitely attend. I reckon there will be plenty of no shows at 7 o clock on a Saturday morning.

It has been asked on the London Broncos site if your going to repeat your home game in London next season. In addition do Wigan still have their office in Buckingham Palace Rd?

IL has said that a "regular season" game will likely be down there (which hasn't gone down well in many quarters), but where & when nothing further. And I think the B/Palace rd office is part of the Business Club & Lenagan's continued world domination policy - so likely.
