Well of course that's what is all about - money. I can't see any other reason for playing this fixture.

Unfortunately that's what sport is all about these days. Fans are a mere afterthought. This is why we have Thursday night fixtures etc. For the first time in a while I'm not looking forward to the first game of the season, purely because it's on a Thursday night.

Ditto, except only 167 miles south.
We would love to go to the London City game, but unfortunately work won't allow. Andy Farrell has been drafted in to help host it, which I think is a brilliant piece of marketing.
I hope the guests enjoy their day, and get the opportunity to understand what RL is all about.
It is the greatest game, but if they don't get it, we could lose out.

Is the match on Wigan tv? (and are the other friendlies on?).

All the pre-season friendlies are on Wigan TV.

Living in London I am really looking forward to seeing the youngsters playing against Skolars. It's a great opportunity to raise Wigan's profile with some very influential people.

Of course most fans will be local, and I certainly don't expect special treatment cos I happen to live miles away. But I do think the 'school night' thing is an issue; I heard lots of complaints about it from people in the crowds (mostly Mums!) at home games last season.

Anyway, I'll be at the Huddersfield game, all being well, and I hope we do better than we managed last season!
