I am pleased at the news of survival, and it will be interesting to see the RFLs response.
Will there be penalties? Because if there is, how can they expect a new venture to have any chance to survive in this increasingly hostile austerity and cutback's situation we find ourselves faced with?
PS: If London went into a CVA like Salford, it appears that this doesn't count as administration, so therefore no problem with points deduction, or withholding of SKY compensation, or the Super League License?
Personally I do feel that we should give them as much help as possible, for the sake of the game. |

Fingers crossed it works out. No true RL fan would want them penalised further, it's hard enough down there as it is. More good work by the RFL by the sounds of it.

Don't know about that, but if a major creditor is HMRC, I can guarantee they would vote against, and then it would be academic.

Their own accounts to 30/11/2012 shows them owing "Taxation & Social Security" of £367k so it could be larger now |

| Quote: Bulliac "That's very true and worse for London is that it's more difficult to give any leeway on relegation as an 'expansion area' club when they've been going for around 30 years or so if you include the complete history from their formation as Fulham back in the neolithic period.....
To be honest, despite the odd one coming on here to make trouble, I feel a lot of sympathy for our friends in the capital and it can't have been easy running a rugby league team down there and I hope things turn round for them.'"
agreed. No mention of oseas quota being lifted in the press release (which is similar on both RFL and SL websites), so likely a few Bulls will be going. But who? |

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

London never went into Administration and as far as I am aware the same guy is still bank rolling them for 2014.
So the only change is the change of venue.

This is what puzzles me. Hughes was obviously bankrolling the club, so where did the threat of administration come from? Was it simply the threat of Hughes walking away?
The announcement of them avoiding admin recently never actually mentioned any investment in the club, only the ground share at Barnet. |

Makes you wonder. If no investment or overseas quota lifted have the rfl said they wont be relegated next year which has persuaded hughes to keep going.

I thought it was a statement of fact 
Would think clubs will rack up sums due to HMRC of between £100k and £200k a month based on size of payroll and VAT on gates. Or at £20 a ticket 7500 paying supporters a month. |

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

That's the nub Nothus. It can't just be passed off as "business as usual", when admin was being mentioned as a serious consideration. It's clearly far more than just a new ground. |

The RFL should have bought a ground in London & let them play there for a peppercorn rent.
