You think the new structure will set at least part of the game back 10 years. If the new structure is left in place, I believe the game as a whole in this country will be a LOT stronger in ten years' time.

We'll see.

What planet are you on. Castleford's attendances are way ahead of London's. They have a stadium of their own, however humble. London are homeless at the end of this season. I woukld think they produce as many juniors at the broncos. Given the disparity in criowd size, it beggars reason to think that the Broncos sales are any better.

Since Powell became coach their playing record is much improved also. London are rock bottom by quite a distance and leak points like a rusty sieve. London's display in the CC semi final contributed to the image of SL in a most remarkable fashion.

That's the simplest idea put forward yet, It could mean that the team promoted would be the whipping boys but this is what the top championship teams have been asking for anyway. The Grand Final winners should have the option to decline and make a stronger challenge in 2015 and the runners up then have the chance. The whole P+R system is thankfully coming back anyway so whats wrong with this years GF winners having an early crack........................................And even if they were given only a quarter of the funds that have been chucked at the broncos they can't do any worse

Really? What you took from that is I thought London were better than Cas? And that we should compare them to decide who stayed in SL?

You could fit the crowds of the Broncos in a decent sized NCL ground.

Oh we'll if London have small crowds its entirely clear that fev are the new brisbane

All this talk about Magic weekend not been able to go ahead with an uneven number of teams is rubbish.

They could do two days of three matches with he other team having a match somewhere else in the season or even just have magic weekend for the top 8 teams and do it over a day.

No worse than when London play there, maybe better since they have some local players who have some passion for the club.

London Broncos share with a top class RU outfit and the behomoth that is England RU are within spitting distance. In comparison I think Castleford, Fev and Trinity being in close competition is small beer.

You can't have an uneven number in a Maguc Weekend format. It's mathematically impossible and it's been done to death on these boards. Get a pen and paper and pretend to do a season in that scenario. It won't work.

Smokey for your encyclopaedia of all RL knowledge - at least two teams currently in the championship will be FT in 2015, and I will support that with a £500 charity bet if you disagree

Foxy Bingo and Brut will be rubbing there hands together knowing they will be getting more coverage around the socials clubs of Yorkshire.

Correct.

There is no view of the bigger picture in this thread. It seems to me it is another old established M52 club or nothing. Personally I'd like a NEW midlands SL team spreading down to London and it's surrounds.
