Say as opposed having a very long time (170 years this year since the club was formed), yet still only managing on below subsistence crowds, only existing because of 1 benefactor and a forced merger whilst now rattling around a chasm of a soccer stadium with only partial income for matchday spending......yeah, London are a waste but let's keep investing in Huddersfield because they're the best run club in the sport
London are a joke .....
The youth/academy set up I will give you as a small + but London village RL Club through all their previous names & guises & nomadic venues are pathetic, they are the revolving failed corner shop of RL.
London get 400 home fans for a reason, nobody wants them, RL couldn't care less & even London/home counties don't want them, London/Fulham/Harlequins are a wedding venue basket case short of a picnic !

London get 900 as an average.......and yes, that is shocking, but whilst they play out of a wedding venue, with no income on mach day....they do so in the Qualifiers......safe in the knowledge that they are funded again for 2019.......<REMOVED - please make your point without the name calling>

Not so keen when your little town club is under attack are you !
*this is also kind of the point of my post*.
IIRC & although I did not attend *it was reported on a Leigh Fans FB page by several who travelled* the London v Leigh game was more akin to a Leigh home match (attendance aside) given that several said there was about, if not more Leigh fans than London. Given your stated average of 900 (if true) what is the average number of home fans *Not the total* ?

Given your lack of a response to being asked when you've been to a game at Lamport, we have to assume that you're just making things up. It may well be a great experience, but making a statement like this implying you have personal knowledge to back it up is totally disingenuous.

Must be true then.....
I logged every London Broncos/QRL gate in SL and can assure you that Leigh were the 5th worst attended visitors in their one and only visit to the capital in SL. This is not my opinion or that of a group of 50or so fans who make the trip down, get hammered and then inagine they were the majority, but a statistical fact.
Leeds were responsible for about 40% of the 1,900/2,500 depending on what you read, gate at the weekend....meaning that 1,140 or 1,500 londeners were there......oh, as for my little club.....I am aware that it is a small outfit, but I am also aware that we didn't put it all on red and whine like the ugly bridesmaid who goes home alone when it didn't go your way....enjoy the shield

| Back on topic....
I think Bradford should still be confident of at least getting promotion via the playoffs.
For me, if York win at Workington (which they haven't done since 1791 or something like that!) they should be very confident. Although they do have tricky home matches against Oldham and Whitehaven, York have lost just one home match this season against Bradford in controversial circumstances after the full time hooter. The only other teams to get close at York are Keighley who lost by 14 pts and Doncaster who lost by 15 pts.
As for full time/part time. That's a tricky one. York are part time, but then you have a player such as Ben Cockayne who is employed by Hull KR in the corporate team, I believe. Likewise can't see Graeme Horne or Joel Edwards (recent signing from the NRL via Limoux) putting in shifts at Nestle before training. If you put it down to which club has had the biggest playing budget, I'd imagine Bradford's budget is double that of York. But that's just a guess.
Right, sorry to interrupt, feel free to continue arguing about London and the pitch at Toronto
