Look you have said that about 10 times. We know. You have also been told that every recognised sport receives some level of funding. With falling participation rates among kids in all sports why would you bitch about a sport being funding to address the issue?
You no doubt have an issue with netball, nothing to do with the topic, take it somewhere else.
Back to the OP.
I am not sure this change will have any significant benefit. They went into administration as Bronco's IIRC. Rebranding the same old product is a very temporary way to address a problem, improving its quality is the only way to long term success. I am all for a club in the capital, but not at the expenses of other clubs, either financially or with regulatory dispensation. What we do have proof of in RL is that fast tracking does not work no matter how much money you throw at it. The RFL needs to concentrate on stabalising the game at Championship level aswell as pursuing its expansionist dream.

I wouldn't go on about us being in SL on a technicality, London Fulham Crusader Bronco Harlequins B team RLFC have been little more than a whim/technicality/grand failure/drain on the game since day 1980. I was there at your biggest ever game and it's been downhill ever since
It sounds as if your life has been going downhill ever since 1980 or am I wrong in saying that bitterness is anger turned in on itself.

There is a reason why they are unique...

That's what I reckon the kit should be like.
Traditional colours of the Broncos, as well as a continuation of the style from the Quins. Gives them a uniqueness in RL. No other teams play in quarters, so that could be their style (just not the same colours as Quins!).
Hull and Wigan are hoops.
Hull KR and Leeds have a single band.
Saints Catalans have the chevron.
The rest just make it up as they go along!
Think the Broncos will help their identity in RL by keeping the quarters, and help their identity in London by changing the colours!

| The trouble is every time this happens it seems like a great idea but it doesn't address the true problems the club has. I do think they need their own identity. It's just rebranding is often papering over cracks.
Still, completely behind bringing the broncos and their original colours back. Keep it this way now.n

100% agree and so does the CEO, who has informed me that the same mistakes will not be made again. The club is fully aware of where it is, where it needs to be and what needs to be done. I for one believe, that if they fail over the next 3 years, it will not be for lack of effort from the back office staff, lack of investment from David Hughes or lack of support from the Rugby Football League.
The onus is on getting people to games, which in turn attracts more fans in itself, as well as potential sponsors, partners and investors and is key......it is identified as the ONLY thing that is needed apart from a successful team, which will in itself help the cause.
If the 3 year plan pays dividends and the targets are reached, then I can see London RLFC or whatever they are called relocating to a shared or 100% owned stadium within 6 years.

Who do you reckon might have said this?

It really isn't rocket surgery.
