| Quote jaybs="jaybs"What a total tragic sad thread, such bitterness, showing as I have always said the fault of our game How Parochial it is, we all-right Jack! Many clubs in Super League are 130 Years Old and are still only around 10,000 or under! is that progress?
The way the game is going it will be semi-pro within 10 years so it will not matter if there is a London, Sheffield, or North Wales side. At a time when the game is developing so fast in the south at youth, school & amateur level, yes we are struggling without a Chairman that has backed the club 110% we may not have survived until now! People forget the cost of living in London, rents and land, we have players houses many of the young players live together, we still do not own our own ground and we have paid so much in rental to football & union clubs over the years.
When we had to leave Fulham that is when the RFL should have invested in a ground and made it the RFL HQ in London a ground dedicated to nothing but Rugby League, used all the year for school finals, amateur finals etc, but no there was no foresight and people wonder why as a game we have No Sponsor for our Super League and No Sponsor for The Challenge Cup what a complete joke but week in week out people still think it is the Greatest Game ever, people who watched Wrestling on Saturday afternoon's way back on ITV used to think the same! and what has happened to that sport.
"If people think we're bad..." is the thread title, well before yesterday's disaster Saints were 8 Points ahead of us!
Money was put into buying Bradford's Odsal? Allowing Hull to take the Gateshead licence to survive, but what did I say about the game being parochial, do you genuinely think if there was one club in Cumbria they would attract more than 5,000 I seriously doubt they get less than 2,000 for a local derby! in fact Sheffield attract more than many Championship clubs. Without the licence system how does a club like Widnes survive? it takes time to build a club when you get into Super League and there attendances are nothing like in the Cup Glory days! The whole game of Rugby League needs to be looked at but not by a failed Halifax club secretary not acting as a CEO of the RFL!'"

The 'loyal' fan speaks. When London fizzle out you can always pick a new team. |

The fact you support London despite being born in St helens says everything about what is wrong with todays society and country. No Loyalty or honour. Disgrace. |

Alternatively, what is right about our country is that the people in it are free to follow the sports team of their choice. |

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. |
