Over 14,000.

Make a point Barry. Instead of just stating the obvious.

Dave.

What would Quins bring to the table with regards to QPR's new stadium? it's not like QPR are short of a few quid and also they are quite likely to be playing in the Premier League next year.

That's true, but I think if stadiums are going to be used all year round they arn't as expensive to run. What about the Olympic Stadium? Too big? Either way I think where they are playing now and naming themselves Harlequins is and has been a mistake and I want success for London RL.

Are you [size=150SERIOUSLY[/size suggesting a London based professional RL side play their home fixtures at the Olympic stadium???

Oh my god.






WHY??


have you been eating those British Rail cheese sandwiches again?

A lot of people say how many kids are playing the game. The same goes for my local non league soccer club they have hundreds of kids that turn out every week and play. How many go and watch the senior team about 5.

I've always said that the Quins branding is wrong. its doesnt target those union fans who like league but support wasps or someone else.

I agree, London Broncos was a brand that everyone knew. I just wish that someone would come along like Richard Branson did years ago and really promote the club, find them a permenant home and stick with them for a long time.

Like Richard Branson? Walk away and leave them with a massive debt generated during his ownership, which the successors spent years paying off before the outstanding bit to HMRC caught up with them? Yep, that's the way forward.

I wouldn’t want Richard Branson anywhere near our sport ever again or anyone similar to him for that matter. He’s nothing but a self-promoting turd whose interest was anything but helping rugby league. Just like his interest is anything but helping (start-up Britain) new businesses.

If he could get it cheap, our top flight would be called Virgin Super League. But he’s getting much cheaper (probably free) publicity for his company from the government.

Are there "more than 100 clubs" in London?

There's been people on here involved with promoting RL in schools in London complaining that the players are lost to RU because there's no clubs nearby for them to go to. That argument seems a bit weakened if there's actually over 100 in the capital to play at.

It all sounds encouraging anyway. I agree with some others on here if SL in London is so important to the sport then it should be given more support by the RFL, should be exempt from the Franchise bidding process (along with Crusaders) and really worked on the ensure it's sustainability. Before that though, I'd like to see some kind of tangible proof that it is as important to RL as is often claimed.

Has there?
