This thread was started to have a pop at Wigan.

Sorry but I'm being brutally honest.



It was third biggest behing Saints and Leeds. Good going though.

Kiwis don't do unlimited broadband so I could't go back and check...my bad.




split hairs all you like......my point was valid! Clubs that see the fixture list and act to do something to get more fans in v Quins/Cats/Welsh??? are the ones who gain in the end. Those that don't, simply point the finger come licence time and moan about London....
Wigan are to be applauded for their foresight....ie...Looking at the problem EARLY and finding a solution.....hardly rocket surgery is it

Having a pop at the Pies is always popular on here for historic reasons but I agree with Gutters, it sounds like good marketing and if it works it is to be applauded. However, I think I could get people to watch a winning Wigan team that are top of the table, in London it is a completely different matter. We could win SL and WCC and the Standard would still ignore us.

Nah, they'd come crawling to us.

Of course Wigan are going to promote the hell out of a Quins visit. IL knows us better than any other owner and even though it is away, a big crowd (as written earlier the third biggest of the season) makes us look more appealing to anyone looking to by cheaply into a sports team and gets IL a better chance of getting rid of us.
I do wonder why other teams don't do what Wigan are doing when we roll into town.
