We can't give up on London. To give up on London would be to basically give up on meaningful expansion, to the most important city in the country! If we give up on London then IMO we give up any hope of ever being a major sport in this country. Maybe a lot of fans would be happy to keep 'our' sport in our little section of the country where we keep ourselves to ourselves and maybe that's what us as fans deserve anyway, but it's not what the sport deserves. Unfortunately, it's what we're going to get with the attitudes of the majority.

You don't have give up on London but the Broncos are finished, there's no pride there, no heart, the fans have had enough, the club is effectively dead, terminal.

Absolutely.

But be careful of semi-literate flamers who take offence when you point out their parochial perspective might not be shared by everyone.

And you and certain others epitomise everything that's wrong with the post-industrial poo-hole which is St Helens. It's full of shaven-headed, chromosomal-deficient, tattooed knuckle-draggers with chips on their shoulders, anger management issues and a depressing line in inverse snobbery.

And that's said as someone who was born in St Helens and has lived here for over 40 years.

So i Epitomise everything that is wrong with St Helens because i disagree with you about giving London a chance or because i used such foul language in my feelings for it.

There's only 2 people from St Helens that show themselves up in this thread and i certainly aint one of them, that ugly git lurking as a reflection on your laptop is thou.

Got to go got a Anger Management meeting at 6.

Mate, why the attitude? I was born in St Helens but have lived in Berkshire since leaving uni eleven years ago. And guess what? I can see that the broncos are a basket case too.

You're blaming parochial attitudes, when the simple fact is that the broncos are a miserable failure and getting worse year by year.

Something needs to be done. I'm not saying pull out of London, but carrying on in this vein does more harm than good.

I worked in London for a long time with radio, and I was at the first Fulham game and missed very few games home and away since, I have sponsored many London players and Academy players, match balls etc, in football I have supported West Ham United since I was at school, ran one of the then England players fan clubs when I was at school, which became the largest in Europe, No I'm not disgraced in the least.

The only slight disappointment is seeing the game I was born into being run so badly and amateur, if London does fail due to the small minded attitude then I will not follow the sport any longer, it's been expensive following London and West Ham anyway.

No loyalty I wonder how many St Helens residents travel to Everton or Liverpool and why so many travel from London to Manchester United?

Oi! That's no way to talk about our women!

Does that mean you stick to trolling football forums?

Sorry giving up on London. What are we the local charity or a competition. In competition you have winners and losers.

If London lose in competition, then they face the same as everyone else. If they go bust and no one wants to buy them they face the same as everyone else.

In the end it's the communist principles of the RFL should do something to save everyone that will be the end of the game.

Did the Premier league run to the aid of Leeds United. No.
Did they run to the Aid of Portsmouth. No.

In football you stand on your own 2 feet. The development of the South in terms of Amature RL being linked to the life blood of the Broncos is as false as the never made threat that SL is only funded by Sky because of the Broncos.

In the end they are a RL club and so should be afforded the same oppertunities and responsibilities of every other RL club. The opening post simply was pouring a light on the people who moan about Saints, showing how we are not in as bad a situation as others and maybe some perspective was required. As for the rest of this thread, I am far from happy with the childish bickering, the attempts to get around the filter.

And the questionable tone of some of the comment. Had you replaced the words Lancastrian, with any nationality, some of the comments would have been hammered for being racist.

If you can't comment without dragging down the tone, then don't. Whether it be alcohol induced or not.

Not sure what your problem is? but you have a very bitter attitude, we have many visitors on our London forum such as Roy H but they are shown respect, is he a troll then? you need to grow up! I except others opinions and respect them but it does not stop me fighting my corner for something I believe in.

Yorkshire clubs will only ever look after themselves! a couple of days ago we talked about Hull robbing Gateshead of a licence, what about Huddersfield robbing Sheffield Eagles? then lets consider the RFL propping up and purchasing the ground of Bradford for them? is the RFL a charity bewareshadows?
