The only way for a professional RL club in London to prosper is to ally with a soccer club. Whether its Brentford Broncos, Fulham Rugby League, MK rugby, Tottenham Titans, Chelsea Kangaroos, Millwall Maurauders, Leyton Leaguers etc doesn't matter. Take the soccer club's name, play at their ground, play in the soccer club's colours and offer cheaper season tickets to the soccer club's season ticket holders.

Based on what's on their badges, it should be the Chelsea Pole-dancing Lions, Tottenham Rugby Chickens, Milwall Kittens, Leyton Dragons or the Fulham Fridge Magnets.

Barry Hearn might go for that.

Being in hock to a soccer club is not in our game's interest. Fulham lasted 4 years and Northampton Town pulled out a year before they started!

Only period we grew fan numbers was 2002-2005.....but even with 15000 free tickets we still wouldn't fill Lionel road......the hive is perfect for now or orient in needs must, but no way do we want a 20k seat stadium 85% empty.
