All it takes for London to succeed is a good coach which they haven't had since Tony Currie left. I'm tired of saying that but it's true.

I know you have short memories up there but...

London are propped up by a wealthy backer. Whilst he is there then there are no financial issues

We've had Sheffield. What has Nottingham got to offer? or does this have a strategic military supply site on your mythical route to Marchwood docks

I mentioned the M62 as the strategic sites you used are located close by, but to your credit (covertly) and to strengthen your weak argument you have now moved your supply lines down the M1.

What is your argument as you are a moving target this morning?

London aren't bust because owner after owner has been prepared to fund them. If the current owner was prepared to do the same in the 'lower leagues' then they'd survive about as well as other teams in those leagues. If not they'd have problems - like Leigh, in fact.

The main issue is thier popularity (or lack of it)
No other club would be tollerated with gates around 2500-3000.
The issues surrounding whether London is critical to Sky negotiations are not clear.
Do Sky wan to show games with empty stadiums, because this never looks good.
I have nothing against the Broncos and always enjoy the trips down south, but they are going nowhere fast.
You say that we've HAD Sheffield and they were certainly had with thier "merger", but this was genuine expansion.
What would be your cure for the difficulties in the capatal ?

Slight amendment there RB.

Aye, replace them with a successful heartland club with a history of sound financial management - like Halifax for example.

Wow! Less Kiss. I'd even forgotten he'd existed lol.

I have no problem with the Broncos. They have the finances to be in the League and their team isnt that bad at all. Yes they may have considerably less fans than everyone else but the fact that they are sound financially and have one of the better stadiums in the League. The best idea would be to do what the Rhinos did with the Tykes a few years back offering discounted sometimes free tickets to watch the game and try and drip some of them into coming back more often. Even reduce the prices if they show their Harlequins season pass?

League fans are catasrophically one eyed. How are we meant to market and advertise our game to potential investors if there isnt some form of representation in the wealthier south? There isnt the money in the North to keep our game solely up here, like it or not we need the South to survive. Union will dominate the South but at the end of the day we cant just give up without a fight.

No. In the real world facts made up by you and actual facts are not given equal weighting.

I'm fed up of Wakefield. This experiment has been going on for 117 years and yet they still are playing in a crappy stadium and, despite those famous local playing resources, fail consistently to prove their worth to SL on the pitch. Get rid for mine. All that money could be better used elsewhere.

Really? And your evidence for this is...?

That is so poor.

It's all well and good heartlanders slagging off London but they've been to Wembley at least once in the professional era. Who else can say that?

Good old Ross Strudwick
