Perhaps I am missing your point, but Wakefield and Castleford have earned there place in SL - they weren't "invited" to the party.

Oh I saw them and that's why I WANT there to be a London team. My point is though that OK clubs like Cas and Salford don't get big crowds but they have much bigger clubs less than half an hour down the road and have to fight for their fanbase (see Wigan Athletic in football). London is the Capital City, f*cking huge and the only club within miles. They should be getting far bigger crowds than they are and it's that reason that I base my opinions on.

Your work in schools is superb in getting kids to play, but why aren't they watching?

tony smith chose to send that squad down and it back fired bigstyle! a lot more different to having injured players out to resting players

I fuuly expect an announcement that will clear everything up at the HKR game

Excuse me for pointing out but my club 'Cas' got bigger crowds in the championship than London will ever get in Superleague.

London's poor crowds are relatively recent. There's been many a crowd over 6k, quite a few over 8k and even a few 10ks over the years. I was there on Friday and I also think that London are not being given enough credit for a fine performance. Maybe Wire were not 100% ( even for the side that took the field ) but London did not give them time to play. I also caught the Under 20s and it was nice to see some good performances from Broncos lads with clear London accents.

selective memory there..
1 over 10k...1 reported at over 12k which was a double header and there was nearer 2k watching the League match....2 x 9k attendances and 3 x 8k and 6 x 6k......that's from 122 home games

.......since we moved back to the stoop, here are the averages....
4,917
3,428
3,909
3,436
3,380
3,124
2,832
....44% down over 7 seasons. The club is being run by idiots...the move to another ground will change nothing.

London RL (not Bronco's )needs to be based in some area in the capital where there is little or no RU influence , forget Twickenham or other leafy suburbs...

The Skolars have worked their s off over the years establishing Youth RL in the Wood Green /Tottenham area successfully ,have still kept viable through the tough times and are now producing local grown talent that are no longer the whipping boys of Championship One ..

Why does the RFL not centre its efforts in London on the Skolars , put the costly overseas guys into local schools/clubs /community in their neck of the woods and give them all the support /backing that Broncos get the moment .....perfect opportunity for RL expansion , but hey its in a working class area so we dont want to know ..

So your idea for RL expansion is to ditch one London team completely and focus on a smaller London team which are as you say running quite successfully as they are? I fail to see how going from 2 teams to 1 can be seen as expansion.

For the last time, Twickenham is no more a Rugby Union heartland than Wembley is a soccer one... 3.4658203125:5
