A representative of the Millwall club could not have put a better sales pitch to help promote the game!

We get a new poster with 'local knowledge' who's never watched rugby league before. He replies to a post and 10 minutes later another new poster from London who's never seen a rugby league game. What are the chances?

I travel to London reasonably frequently staying over at the Union Jack Club near Waterloo station which is only a ten minute ride from Milwall, and I was stationed reasonably close by for a period albeit 36 years ago. I don't live there, but I do know that Madam Tussaud's is near Regents Park and a long long way north of the river. You can drive past it any day of the week, and from before it opens, there are literally hundreds of people on the street queuing to get in

So I ask myself why someone who has 'local knowledge' would claim that one of London's biggest attractions has its home in Southwark?

Also, Bermondsey tube is around a mile and a half away from the ground and would only be a 12 minute walk if you run.

I'm sorry but I think there is a bit more Springfield than Southwark about you Bunny


Exactly. I'm not an expert on London geography but I have been to the Globe pub on a few occasions before the Cup Final and am pretty sure Madam Tussauds is close to there!

Which bit of Wigan RL does Bunny work for I wonder? ;)

Obviously this is aimed at me..

You are a bit paranoid.

I've never read Wigan today so I'm not guilty of trolling people on there! I've got better things to do..

..and I'm not from London!

Is it aimed at you? That really depends whether you and Bunny are the same person? I did mention the user name Bunny' fairly clearly, and I never said anything at all about you.

I did point out the coincidence of the timing of the posting - and then there is another coincidence that you reply to a post aimed at someone else, and I think if you read back, you clearly said that you live in London.

You mentioned another poster from London so I was asuming it was me..

I do live in London but along with about 70% of the population I am not originally from there..

I live in London and fancy gong to the game at The Den but checked the prices which are quite high.

Do you have to be a member to qualify for a discount or can anyone get these tickets at a discounted price when they go on sale on 10th August?

Thanks in advance..
Prices, bar the Barry Kitchener stand, are similar to our home games (see link)

http://www.wiganwarriors.com/news/2015- ... ravel-info

I personally think RL is best viewed from behind the goal so think of it as being the equivalent of watching Man Utd vs Everton for twenty quid.
Thanks..

To qualify for the 20% discount for 'Wigan fans' do I just register an account or will I need previous purchase history?

Ha...ive never been accused of being a covert operative before!

Trust me, I'm a Millwall fan (have emotional & physical scars to prove it).

My family are from Walworth, but moved out to Kent in 1989.

I currently live in Sussex - I'm sure someone can confirm this using IP thingy...??!

The Madame Tussauds thing...yes, that's my stupidity. I've never been to the place...and haven't lived in Southwark for 26 years, since I was 10 in fact. Southwark is a big place. So it's not as if every time I've visited family in Walworth it's obviously is or isn't there. My mistake comes from the campaign they ran at The Den for a few years on the scoreboard - saying London Bridge, your gate way to the 'London Experience '...or something along those lines...which listed the dungeons, Tussauds etc as possible attractions - perhaps run by the same umbrella company???

I'm not sure what goes on in the land of Wigan RL for that stupid mistake to launch a whole conspiracy theory.

I'm genuinely an ordinary Millwall fan..people can follow me on twitter if they like @ttkk1885

As for the walk from Bermondsey tube...ive done in under 15 minutes lots of times, I did say brisk, and I am over 6 foot tall, and know the back doubles probably a lot better than tourists. Back doubles is an old London expression for back roads - trying to demonstrate my genuine credentials here.

Please feel free to ask me anything you like...to reassure you.

Don't worry bout it Bunny, we all like a good conspiracy & debate on here. Just take anything that isn't fact with a pinch of salt ????????????
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

The Cats as opposition is a great idea. There are approximately 300,000 French people living in London and also albeit in decline a significant Australian population who might well be interested in seeing Todd Carney play.
