Thoth - Lets agree to disagree about whether fans are interested in entertainment.
I understand the premise behind the whole London top flight club experiment. Large population, lots of NZ and Aus ex pats - surely a RL club in top flight could attract a lot of supporters. I even agree on an intuitive level that it makes sense.
Sadly though after 40 years the premise has been proven to be flawed in my opinion. This is despite a range of favourable rule exemtions for the club.
Its my contention that the benefits made in the community game could have been made without top flight RL in the capital (hence the reason I cite the South West) allowing another club their spot on playing merit and allowing the rest of the SL clubs a level playing field.
How about London Olympians as a new name? Tie in with the Olympics somehow? Going to be alot of visitors to London next summer who may like to try watching RL as well as the other sports going on? With all the attention on the Olympics in 2012, it could either be a disastrous time for a London RL re-brand or it could be a great opportunity. Just a thought.
