And the same day that Broncos have their home fixture.

So an opportunity for a double header? No, thought not!

Skolars would probably get that gig if offered.

Skolars are only playing on the Good Friday away
at Hemel that weekend. Missed the Wigan fixture this term so hope to make it next season. Hopefully versus Catalan once more.

Wont be Catalans as they are our first game of the season and at home . The London game is going to be a regular season game this year not a Super 8 game .

I am still waiting for you know who to show me where I said the game was just a publicity stunt!

Really do hope they co-ord it properly and dont clash with our home game, cant really see the pull of a double header, RL fans are pretty parochial and I could not see the Wigan fans wanting to turn up early or stay late to watch us against someone like Batley or Sheffield. For the neutrals coming to get a first taste of the game, i think the same applies, reckon they would watch one and not the other. If it does go ahead I really do hope that Broncos and Skolars work beside Wigan to promote the game as a whole during the event and raise the awareness of RL in and around London

I'm sure it would be a good test of the fabled temporary stands that can be sorted out. If not I'm sure another ground would work.

Think Wigan, will be looking for a Professional Ground! and aim for even more than 8,000 with more lead time.

Gone a bit quiet on this subject, we were all told an announcement was imminent.

Have Wigan got a nasty case of Bronco-itis?

Re: O/T Wigan close to confirming London fixture : Thu Jan 14, 2016 1:00 pm  

I thought that we would have had the big announcement regarding this game by now. They made enough noise about it a month or so ago.
Will it ever happen? Who knows?
