Super League GM Blake Solly said that he "wants more rugby league games in London and the south east," according to the BBC.
The Challenge Cup final traditionally takes place at Wembley and last year Wigan played against Catalans at Millwall Football Club's The Den.
Solly: "We've realized that we've got some great showpieces to take to London. We know there's a market in London and the south east for big rugby league events but we've got to serve them up."
As well as the Four Nations tournament taking place in England and Scotland this year, Solly said that "more games will be played in London and the south east from 2016 onwards." He said,
"We've targeted taking three good rugby league events to London and the south east every year for the next three years." London and the south east "is not the only target for some rugby league clubs," with Warrington Wolves CEO Roger Draper suggesting the club is "looking at targeting a market closer to home." Draper:
"We've got a hardcore following in the town, but what we want to do is reach out to other people who haven't been introduced in the wider areas of Chester and Cheshire" (BBC, 1/7).
