Black Backgrounds/Zoot.gif Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

| Gillingham's chairman and BBC reporter Ian Ramsdale appear to be pouring cold water on Skytext's report of a move to Kent. The Sporting Life website report is just a straight lift off Skytext.

| rlThisrl makes interesting reading, particularly with the mentions of Skolars on this thread. Would be a great site to develop although better without the athletics track if possible so that the pitch could be made bigger.

| You could not class Gillingham as London. If Super League "needs" a London club / presence then Gillingham would be farcical.

| It amuses me that those "in the north" constantly berate the attendances at London whilst choosing to ignore the fact that nearly all SL teams struggle to get consistent 5 figure attendances.

That makes no sense. How does clubs not getting 10000 crowds make a 2000 crowd acceptable?

I would like to think that long established clubs in the heartlands should attract a much higher consistent level of attendance than they do compared to a realitively new club in a developing area.

32 years isn't relatively new. And newness of club doesn't pay the bills.

| You are failing to understand the definition of relative i.e. in comparison to the long history of most other clubs in SL then London is "new".

| I guess London/Harlequins/whatever etc probably always have the lowest SL average attendance, but some other club's are not much higher. I mean averaging 3,000 (with a long way for away fans to travel) compared to say a northern club doing just under 4K, is nowt (flat cap speak) to brag about.
Was it Fulham's 1st ever game at home to W**an (I'm a Leigh fan) there were over 10,000 speccys on !!

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

It works both way budgie, other clubs have competition for RL fans, London dont, the bottom line as our good friend GF points out, if nobody knows who or where you are, nobody will turn up, you have to find them, get them into the stadium and then make them want to come back
