I read elsewhere that Wigan hope that this London game would piggy back on all that the RFL have done the game in London.
Sorry am I missing something here !
My belief is that they have done more for Bradford than they have for London. Most of that was putting money into a big hole in the ground.

If only we'd had a poster on these boards for 12 years saying exactly that, maybe things would have turned out differently....oh, hang on a mo.

I seem to remember an Ian Lenegan owning London's only Super League club before someone of the same name took over at Wigan. I don't recall offices in Victoria and successful corporate sponsorship then, or RL in London hitting heights of exposure.

Would that have been the team that had 8k ish at the Stoop against St Helens? And the publicity shots of Dizzee Rascal in their home shirt? The one that held Summer Camps for kids? The one that had End of Season events for sponsors and general supporters to mix with the players? The one that bussed supporters for free to a Cup game in Leeds? The one that hosted Melbourne and Manly before the World Club Challenge? The one with the marketing team? The one with a plan?

Unfortunately, that was then and this is now.

In order: The team that had 2k ish in September 2007 against Salford, yes, Summer camps still happen, yes, don't know, not during Ian Lengan's time, not sure - you'd have to ask Gutters, possibly not a great one.

My point is that Ian Lenagan was the owner between 2005-2007, and could have done the same thing then for the Broncos, but didn't, and I'm not sure what he did helped. I'm sure some would say the opposite occurred. I've nothing against him, I just don't think because he has initiated this it will work.
