Isn't the plan to do three. If it's a success then of course they'll keep doing it. It's a pretty big if though isn't it. Big risk being taken.
How many are actually planning on going? There will be some supporters out of area that will find it accessible, like my cousin who was a season ticket holder til this year but got a new job down south, but hour many people from the north west plan on making the trip?
The whole London trip relies on another big thing and the most important for the fans, winning pots!!!
If the team isn't successful then it might as well be Wigan Central playing down there for all the interest that will be generated.

lets get one thing right , they have been trying to promote Rugby League in the capital since the early 70,s and still has not taken a hold or the imagination of the London people. Why o why do we have to have a home game down there
Lets get it right on a proffessional level Rugby League will always be a M62 corridor sport
Wigan is and always will be a town of Cherry & White
Maybe, it would have been a good idea if IL had asked the Fans what they thought about it before going ahead.
I won't be going! (For obvious reasons - too far to walk from Germany )
Why Millwall? Far better at QPR for example. I used to live in London way back in the '70's so I've forgotten the layout in relation to best accessible grounds etc; But, like another post "The Den" was a no-go area. I think there was a time when they were labelled the worst football hooligans. Maybe a bit better, but I seem to recall the ground was cited a couple of years ago for crowd disturbance.
Be warned :devi:
