We're one of their feeder clubs aren't we? Well they probably think so!

A genuine link up could save the club.

Bring on London Pies

Re: Wigan and Broncos Working Together????? : Mon Aug 24, 2015 2:30 pm  

Its happening, the game is going ahead so why fight it?
Not sure what the interest would be but if they are going to promote our game on the Sunday surely that has to be a good thing.
Personally despite it being the mighty dragons I could not bring myself to go and watch the pies, and I will still be up north after RAF v RN in Lincolnshire.
Interesting that Wigan have opened a pop up shop in London to push this, if it promotes the sport of rugby league in London and we can get anything from it then it has to be a positive, its better to be involved than not and if we get 3 supporters from it that an increase of 1%
With where we are at the moment I would have thought we would take any help thats going as well.

I'm going if just to help RL in the capital by bumping up the numbers by one + watching some decent SL live in London is a bonus over the LB Champ games I've watched all year at The Hive. Off the the CC Final too.

If they'd wanted to work together perhaps our game could have been a curtain raiser to a double header?

Whilst I would take any help from whatever quarter I can't as a Broncos fan see my way to support financially an event that will benefit Wigan, nor can I as a West Ham fan support an event that could make money for Millwall!

C'mon Catalans, time for an away win! Pity it wasn't last Saturday, South London temperatures were almost Pepignan-esque!

Oh ! and the thousands of England Rugby League fans (plus 2 Scotland Rugby League Fans from the other Capital) who will turn up in "your city" in November ? Just wondering .

The attendance is going to be really interesting, not sure about the ground they choose to stage the game.

Re: Wigan and Broncos Working Together????? : Tue Aug 25, 2015 11:28 am  

I think the biggest advantage to us Broncos fans is getting to buy tickets to the Hive for only £10 with the promotion code LRL. I have bought 2 extra tickets as friends of mine won't go for the normal high price that it is.

We can then take some extra fans and the Hive doesn't get to line their pockets as much!

Please God NO to that we would look even worse than we do now, it would show how far we have fallen

I really dislike the Pies and will not go to their ground but why castigate Ian Lennigan for leaving the Broncos. If my memory serves me well from a discussion I had with him he wanted to stay with LB but the RFL would not allow him to have a shoe in both camps. He is a Wigan born boy so he would always want to pursue his dreams and own the club. We all have dreams we want to follow but following LB is a dream not working at the moment.
