London Broncos.
Thoughts of the name being brought back into SL?

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |

It's a lot better than Harlequins, but why change from one failed name to another?

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Does the name really make any difference ? |

you can rebrand a turd as 'UberAmazingsuperdooper toilet awesome flotsam' but you still wont have thousands of people coming around to your house wanting to look in your toilet bowl.

Your judgement is wrong. Look at how many people watch Big Brother. |

Point taken but you must see the link between what's in a toilet bowl and Big Brother type TV. |

Oh I don't disagree French , so what you really mean is people will watch anything , if you can convince them it's interesting enough , so how do you do that ?

I really haven't a clue about how to get up enthusiasm for RL in London but judging by the support Crusaders brought to the DW last night (including 4 coachloads) I would have to conclude that the capital is not where the powers that be should be concentrating their efforts.

Did the Broncos not leave a mountain of debt when they changed to Quins? Could it not cause them problems?

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg |

The trouble there, is that London is effin huge. This is what some people on here don't grasp. London isn't a city like Leeds or Manchester. It's a collection of smaller towns that have been joined into one entity by urban sprawl. That's why you have so many football clubs in London. They all represent their own portion of London. I think that in itself has been one of the reasons the London club has failed to make an impact in terms of built up support. Well that and their gypsy nature of getting moved to new areas every couple of years.
Just to put that in perspective. From Fulham to Crystal Palace, that's a move of about 10 miles.
Their next move to Barnet Copthall is another 20 miles.
Then to The Valley, that's about 7 miles
Then to Twickenham Stoop which is about 17 miles.
Then back to The Valley, so that's another 17 miles back again
The out to Griffin Park, another 15 mile trip.
The finally back to The Stoop, which is only 5 miles or so.
So that's 91 miles give or take that the London club has had to cover in just the last 30 years. Or to put that another way, it's almost like moving Hull FC to Salford.
That they've held on to any fans is a testament to those fans and the club. |
