Brilliant news if you live in London, cant get to see a Rugby League match ( oh yes you can...there's a team called LONDON BRONCOS, who nobody there seems to go watching or even cares about) and is a closet Warriors fan ( so big a fan that they cant make a one off effort to pop up to Wigan to watch a game, but prefer to wait until they play on their doorstep ).
Not so brilliant news for the regular fans who will miss a game because they cant afford to travel.

Chairman...I have no idea where your going on this, but it certainly isn't to the benefit of your regular punters or the team who seem to have travel sickness this year. I just hope it doesn't cost us 2 valuable points.

EVERY MINUTE MATTERS....or did you miss that bit?

The next question has to be, how many fans, plus regular passengers, would said train accommodate?

To be honest, i didn't realise the game finished that early. That is an early last train from Euston all the same but ample time to get out of London. That would arrive in Wigan around 10-10.30pm There shouldn't be any problems going through work sites at that time. So scrap all what i said, it isn't relevant that early





I would almost certainly get return tickets asap though to guarantee a spot on it

Enough when considering how many will use it (it's enough when we've played CC finals at Wembley)and there's others prior to that which people would make comfortably as well.

There may be some issues with this game being in London but train travel isn't one of them.

What? It just gets worse. Doesn't that mean that a fair chunk of the potential 'local' target audience (football and general sports fans) will be watching England on the telly, instead of turning out to watch an unfamiliar sport in a notoriously unwelcoming stadium...?

This on the Millwall board made me chuckle:
Although as Vegas is a Stainer, they really should get their facts straight.

I think Ian Lenegan has shot himself in the foot here.

Even I think this is a sack of kak..... Bollocks to doing something for RL as a whole, we should have this game at home.

The thing that interests me most about this is the thought that it is somehow great for RL as a whole playing a drab, atmosphere free match in a dodgy part of London.

Is IL really so vain as to think anyone in London will even know this is happening? If he wants to entertain London corporates, take them to the Olympic stadium for England v NZ.

I work in London, I regularly entertain clients at sports events in London, there is not a cat in hells chance I would invite anyone along to this.

I have no idea mate... He must have something going on for him to do it. If not, then i'm really at a loss as to why we are doing this.. Expletives are of course banned from use here, but pluck the rest of RL, the rest of RL loves to see us fail.

I am trying to convince myself that IL has spotted something us mere mortals haven't, that no one can have the business success and amass the personal fortune he has by dropping huge clangers. However, I simply cannot see how this plan benefits anyone in the sport other than, possibly, Catalan Dragons.

The words " Corporate Hospitality " and " Millwall " don't seem to fit together for me

Now if it would have been Benidorm instead of Bermondsey with free travel for the weekend !

As a season ticket holder and this is a home game that I won't be able to attend, am I still allowed to use the 'ticket swap' (or whatever it's called) facility to get an additional seat for another home game?

Genuine question, I would go if I could

Wouldn't have thought so - it was always billed as a bonus game that was included in the cost of the ST anyway. Plus if we'd have finished outside the Top 4 you'd only have got 3 games.

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.

Me too mate . See you there for a pint before kick off .

Why wigan? Why not Leeds or saints trying this?

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.
