| Quote Mr Churchill="Mr Churchill"Given what's happened and the benefit to the game as a whole in retaining a presence in the capital city, I would be happy for it to be announced this week that London would be granted exemption from:-
- the salary cap regulations. i.e. they can spend what they like and
- the limit on overseas players. i.e. they can sign as many as they like
What should not happen is that they get any any more central money or get exemption from relegation.'"
Id be happy see to see the London club get extra funding too, but not exemption from relegation. Either it's a licensed league or it's not. |

More about the stability of the position of the club in Super League with the chaos around P&R |

A league that has licences granted and no P&R. You know, much like what we've had for the past 6 years |

Not much to show for it has he. Could have built a nice stadium with that cash..... |

I doubt you could buy the land for that amount in or around London, let alone build a stadium.
Without a sugar daddy at least in the short/medium term London cannot survive.
I think though, it will be a massive blow for RL if London Broncos disappear and be more evidence of the inward looking, parochial nature of the sport and its administration.

Trolling with a lame attempt at a personal insult to garner a response....poor effort.

yet your trolling prevents you from identifying what other clubs have brought to SL......trolling of the lowest order.
Quote The Poltroon="The Poltroon"I freely admit to not knowing the ins and outs of that particular franchise but I'm genuinely struggling to think of any positives.'"
and you finish with yet another troll....  |

I'd also like to bring the regal trophy back, rename it the London cup and award it to London every year instead after the challenge cup is awarded. Imagine the new fans that would attract....
Also
I'd like to propose that for every fan London attract to a home game, the rest of the clubs in SL match the entrance fee of that fan. |

It has little to do with how many fans London have or even bring to away games. I have already shown many times that London being replaced by say a Fev or Halifax would add less than 1 half or 1% to the turn overs of SL clubs....but narrow minded idiots continue with dreams of 3,000 Halifax fans at Widnes 
London s failure is down to a combination of bad ownership/management decisions and the abject failure of the RFL and other SL clubs to understand how to manage an expansion.
The Irony would not be lost on most fans of the sport if after London fold, the TV revenue dropped......given darts pulls in more viewers than SL now, it's not a given that Uncle Rupert will keep upping the cash... |

More to do with the fact nobody gives a bollox about attending top flight rugby in the capital city, if more people did then your club would not be on its last legs. |
