Excuse me for pointing out but my club 'Cas' got bigger crowds in the championship than London will ever get in Superleague.

Just as a point of info, it is only those club's first teams that play outside London. Their lower/amateur grades, training facilities and clubhouses all remain in London.

Hammersmith Hills Hoists play out of Wasps' ground in Ealing.

The BBC website now has a report that suggests that the Broncos are likely to take up the option of staying at The Stoop for a further 2 years.

2 years for Tony Rae, 2 years further at the Stoop, 2 years left on the franchise hmmmm

And David Hughes has apparently intimated that he won't be in a position to bankroll us after the end of this franchise period as he wants to retire. Interesting.

I thought that he deftly avoided the question about his intentions after the end of the franchise. He also said that he still enjoys his work at 67. Many (not me though) go on much longer. The woman at the head of the family running our large local garden centre was still working last year aged 102. May still be for all I know.
