Not impressed one bit if i'm being totally honest. You fight all season to gain home advantage and then basically throw it away. Has the defeat in the challenge cup to Hull KR not sunk in with the club yet. Lets here all the do gooders now proclaiming that its good for Wigan and the sport blah blah

A brave decision to play there.

Works for me. I'm moving to London late August

I know we'd never hope to fill the larger stadiums, but Millwall ?! Jellied eels anyone?

You obviously do not know the area.

Agreed, let's hope we do not lose this game and miss the top 4 or the top 2 by 2 points, not a nice place to go as a football fan, nothing apart from riot police around the ground , can not see the great and the good from London travelling to the Den to watch this game, we shall see Mr Chairman.

why the hell do wigan want to play home game in London.?some right comedians running the game now.no wonder its going down the pan.

I can understand local fans' irritation, but I think it's just about on balance a move by the Club worth supporting. Perhaps I *would* say that, as London is nearer to me than Wigan (but still 100 miles away), but I'll be going, and encouraging my son and his friends, who live in London, to go. Everyone knows someone who lives in London. If we all encouraged our friends to go...

As for the area, there'll be no need for riot police for a SL game.

I'm surprised the club are offering free travel as I'm sure Lenagan mentioned that wouldn't be happening a while ago.

It does state that the free travel with have 'limitations' though on the official site so it may be the first 1,000 or similar.

In terms of throwing home advantage away- If we can't beat the travel sick French in London or any other place outside of France then we can't complain (although I appreciate our away form isn't sparkling).
