Wigan Warriors take Catalans Dragons fixture to Millwall

Wigan Warriors have today announced plans to take their Super 8s home fixture with Catalans Dragons on the road to The Den, home of Millwall FC.

Warriors chairman Ian Lenagan, formerly owner of London Broncos, is an advocate of developing rugby league in the capital and said that he sees this as an ideal opportunity.

He said in a club statement: "We are taking a Super League game to London and we intend to leave our mark.

"This is no half-hearted measure. It has been well planned and is underpinned by a strong community programme, the development of our London Business Club and the opening of Wigan's office on Buckingham Palace Road.

"The fixture provides an opportunity for Wigan and Rugby League fans to sample live Super League rugby in the Capital."

The game will take place on Saturday, September 5.
