Relegation of Wigan Athletic from Premier League is not yet certain, but a distinct possibility.

If it happens, Wigan Athletic lose a lot of prestige and money.

Will that boost the stocks of Wigan Warriors within the town and surrounding areas?

If it happens, Wigan Athletic will still receive £23m next season, £18m the year after, and £10m for each of the next 2 years in parachute payments from the Premier League. Or, to put it another way, they'll still get 12 times more money for being relegated than Wigan RL will get in the same period.

Makes absolutely no difference one way or the other.

Is that because the pool of sports fans in Wigan and surrounds are set in their tastes?

Is there not a soft core, floating fan base which goes with the prestige teams in the area?

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions

But I'd expect only one of the clubs to make a profit.

A few people watch both teams, but I don't know anyone who'd stop going to watch Latics *and* switch to the rugby. Same the other way too - when Latics got into the premier league, I don't know of anyone who stopped going to the rugby to watch the football. It's largely a different fan base. In fact there's quite a lot of hostility between some people. I've never felt that way - despite never once having watched Latics live, I always hope they win.

Yes it would be. My kids seem to come home from school with free Latics tickets every other week that don't get used. I'm sure I'm not the only parent in Wigan who doesn't take advantage of this and Premier League football is more attractive than Championship football. There is bound to be kids who would be RL fans instead of football fans if Latics were not a PL team.
