Wigan would be worth alot of money, its the name and the brand and what the name means around the rugby world. Compared to football it wouldnt match it but i wouldnt say Wigan football is worth more than the rugby, they are a very mediocre side so it wouldnt cost much more than the rugby.
Get real!
Every soccer club outside the 4th division (now div 2) is worth more in £'s than WRLFC and probably half of the fourth.
Rubbish, you suggesting Yeovil, Accrington Stanley (well, arguable) or Morecambe is bigger than Wigan Rugby?
Scunthorpe, Doncaster, Preston, Sheff Wed, there are plenty players in non pro soccer earning in excess of 50k. Tell that to our youngsters or 1st teamers struggling along in SL on 20 grand a year or less!
