Academy/reserve/scholarship games and training I would imagine. But I think there will also be "commercial opportunities" Lenagan has been looking for somewhere to host a Wigan RL museum for a long time.Warrior Gilfedder wrote:I take it this will only be for training purposes and the odd moved game, surely it isn't big enough for a full time move

I don't know about that. There is a lot of land connected to Robin Park, which I think could hold a 15,000 to 20,000 seater stadium, that's if IL wanted to shop around for sponsorship to help with the funding of the build.Warrior Gilfedder wrote:I take it this will only be for training purposes and the odd moved game, surely it isn't big enough for a full time move
