Life is pretty simple: You do stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works.:cartoons/WB24.gif



Hull KR were not the last Championship side to beat a SL side. Sorry Cas fans but I believe Fev beat Cas 23-16 in 2012 and Barrow beat Castleford in 2010 34-28 away at Castleford.

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?:

"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround." An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42181.jpg



Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "Richard Mathers, Rhys Lovegrove, William Barthau, and Waisele Ligani Naiqama provide the foundations of a powerful team, the likes of which London fans have not seen for more than a year. Of the new signings, only Liam Foran looks like a mistake.

Wakefield Trinity Wildcats without Richard Mathers will not be the same side in 2015 as this year, and I fully expect London to replace Wakefield in Super League for 2016.'"

Long live the Fulham-London Crusaders-Broncos Harley-Quids Broncos (again) RLFC!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_22268.jpg



We will struggle to make the top 4 in the second tier. I'm getting a bit fed up with everyone simply "assuming" we're going to be top four. which I think will be Bradford, Leigh, Fev' and 'Fax.

We will be competing with Donnie and the Eagles for fifth and hoping either Fev' or 'Fax blow up at some point and then.............................

It'll be good just to be able to dream and actually have something tangible to get excited about, thats what P & R brings, and it brings it to the middle order clubs too, we are in no position to be dismissing the competition and assuming we'll be 2nd or 3rd.

Unless the board turn things round very quickly, I can't see 'fax in the mix - I'm sticking with us, Bradford, Leigh (although they could do with a couple of big props from what I saw yesterday) and probably Fev'. With Donnie and Sheffield, I can forsee a possible return of the old 'funny results' time, as both clubs desperately try to avoid a club destroying promotion.

Quote: salford1970 "Don't know if it is just me but their recruitment for next season is suggesting a very short stay in the Championship.'"


I would say it's suggesting a half decent season finishing 2nd or 3rd, not getting anywhere near promotion due to being considerably weaker than the bottom 4 SL teams, having a worse squad the next year due to a big drop in income, not being able to afford rent at the Hive, having no stadium again and going bust.

What is everyone going to moan about next year???





Certainly can't be London taking up a valuable SL place and not deserving it!! Who will the doom-sayers target in 2015?!!!!!!

Every other club will be looking to knock seven bells out of Bradford and London, how they react to that will shape their year imo

I'm looking forward to seeing us play teams we can genuinely compete against, yep, we'll 'prolly shed a few more fans but in a competitive league, providing we can get some sort of half decent marketing going, we may gain some.

1,280 this year is the average.......I say we will be in 3 digit territory next year.......a fair chunk of our average this year is expat Wigan/Leeds fans who hop on the tube to watch their team once a year. Not sure if you recall the hoardes that fax and Leigh brought to griffin park when we were in the same division but Leeds and wiganesque they were not.
700 average at best and a top 4 finish a strong possibility but no chance of going up. Half the cap allowance in a turn over that will be a quarter of that of a bottom SL club......it's fiscally impossible

You both seem to have ignored the quality of the squad that been assembled for 2015. With Rhys Lovegrove, Waisele Langi Naiqama, William Barthau and Richard Mathers it will be as good as some of the lower ranked SL teams.

You need to follow the news a little more closely.

Perhaps the club should try to spread a bit of awareness in the local area and get some new fans, especially if the team will be winning more games

Went down to Wembley for the CC final this year and parked at the Hive. Very nice tidy set up btw

Was having a little trouble finding the ground and stopped to ask a few people where the Barnet FC football ground was, also said London broncos and The Hive. No body knew. I carried on driving and turned out I was actually only 200/300 yards from the ground.

It did highlight what London are up against getting fans in if people in the very local area don't even know there's a football ground there, never mind a RL team. but also maybe also shows the lack of work being done to try and promote the Broncos. surly whether the locals attend or not they should be left in no doubt that theres a professional RL team playing just up the road at a ground called The Hive
