| Quote GUBRATS="GUBRATS"A few years back we did have one , but we were refused entry to the SL comp , we ended up with games constantly being called off because our ' opposition ' couldn't raise a team , so we dumped it
Also realistically as a Championship club surrounded by 3 of the biggest clubs do you think we could have developed SL quality players ?
So now we are putting in place the necessary structures , will having 20 odd 16/17 yr olds taken out of their community clubs after they have been passed over by Wigan,Saints and Wire produce SL quality players ?
I think we will have our work cut out , don't you ?'"
Thanks for that. Very informative. |

| Quote GUBRATS="GUBRATS"Isn't it great to see a ground ' stadium ' very similar to that disheveled hole the home of the team that has just made this years GF , haven't we moved on ?
Quite possible that our ' Champions ' will be playing out of a stadium ' very loose term ' that didn't pass the criteria for SL entry back in the year 2000
SL just keeps getting better and better'"
The Jungle is streets ahead of where Leigh used to play home games......and as I said, Leigh is a great club as are Castleford......just not the future of our game if we want to be taken seriously as a Pro sport. And Castleford own the "mend a hose' don't they? |

| Quote Call Me God="Call Me God":lol:
As a London RL fan I can appreciate the irony of discussing "attendances' but the reality is that Leigh have a potential to get to maybe a 7k average at best......and that's it. Nothing wrong with that....Leeds united get twice the crowds of the Rhinos and Leeds Rhinos are arguably the biggest club we have. Catalans have the potential to get =#40BF0020k if not more...so for the good of the games growth, the French to stay please.'"
Possibly Catalans v Toulouse. But you don't need to be SL to see that fixture,do you! SL has done its job,its time for others to leave their mothers apron strings. We need to start to get our own home game in order from now on. |

Puzzled. Is this a reference to oft cited but never proven "extra funds' we used to get down south?
I'd love RL to be a self sufficient sport but like so many others.......no Murdoch = no professionalism.....and if you want relevance, you need a team in London. |

Will it meet the criteria of licensing?.. Hilton Park did,the Willows didn't. |

So sorry I didn't realise we were on a history lesson , Leigh play at the LSV stadium , have done for 10 seasons now
As for the jungle , don't talk complete nonsense it's a dump
But I don't actually care , because as you say it's sport , it's what happens ON the pitch that goes into the history books |

Wrong......happy to pay rent, just need a team (back office) to fill the thing.....London should command a 10k average 7 days a week....but the current owner doesn't see it that way so he's flushed 20 million...that's TWENTY MILLION doing it his way on a rush to the floor..... |

The first thing is to get away from Murdoch at the earliest opportunity. I'll say it again,they may be the saviour of SL,but they are the demise of the game. |

If London Broncos/Skolars 'ceased to trade' as of tomorrow, it would have 0% impact on the future of RL in this country. Broncos only got a crowd over a 1000 this season, when Hull KR & Leigh played there.  |
