Not quite, I'm suggesting there are people who don't sponsor RL in general because of its flat cap, m62 corridor image that will only be furthered by the loss of London



I dare say as the RL product is, IMO, second to none, some more of rltheserl guys (left hand column) might be interested if we had a stronger presence in other areas of the UK.

That sounds very much like an Andrew Mitchell moment, surely you are not suggesting that followers of our great game are pennyless plebs

I used to be an academy player at Bronco's (when they were Harlequins) and I have too say what a shame it is. They have a great youth set up, but as people have stated its the first team ruining it for them. I just hope that some of the youngsters get a break with another SL team. And I visited a friend down in Colchester the other week and watched Hammersmith vs Eastern Rhinos, and I must say it was a great game of Rugby League! So there are some improvements at amateur level (even though Hammersmith were all Aussies and New Zealanders haha)

I've seen London under 19s this year,some very good player,it will be a massive shame if some of them lads can't get fixed with another club.It will be very difficult for them all to relocate so I guess some will be left in limbo
