JESUS WEPT :WALL: HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover. There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :BEAT::d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg



OK. We've got no fans and we play out of a wedding venue, but our team is predominantly home grown and this year after 7 games we've seen to the Superleague champions of the last 4 seasons.......we may well still go back down, but don't anyone (especially smug Wigan fans saying we're lucky to be in SL) Say "WE DON'T DESERVE OUR DAY IN THE SUN".

Considering London's opening fixtures, they have done remarkably well to be on 6 points. 6 or 7 more wins could see them survive. There will be a few clubs quite nervous right now as everyone thought the bottom place in super league was cut and dried before a ball was kicked.

A majority of us were expecting them to relegated, but like a few on here I'm not sure about that now.

Well done to Ward and London. To stick with the players that won promotion looked a big gamble but it is paying off so far

David Ward has done a remarkable job in forging a team together with tremendous team spirit.

Anyone who beats Leeds, Wigan and Wakefield after 7 matches has to be respected.

Wish David Hughes would plunge into the transfer market for one big signing.

No disrespect to the players but a big name could bring in more support and would also make the news in the southern led press and tv.

Think that Eddie Battye is starting to be a cult hero!

I agree, I think if they could manage to get 1 or 2 big signings from Union they could really increase the gate and the interest in RL in London

Sorry, but it's thinking like that that kills clubs. One or two big name signings will magically increase the gate 3 fold! Increasing gates is a far more tricky animal as many know and requires an overall strategy that comes to fruition over a number of years. I really do hope London manage that though!

A brilliant start to the season for the Broncos, long may it continue, they will stay up this year. Team spirit counts for so much, those players and Ward plus the owner for sticking with the club through thick and thin is a fantastic story.

Dont think we will underestimate them next week, going to be a tough visit for FC

Agreed, everyone thought relegation was cut & dried this year but if London can keep picking up the odd win it’s gonna be a twitchy year for a number of clubs.

Let’s not forget this was an away win & not on their plastic pitch, where supposedly their only wins would come.

If London manage a few more victories, it could put Leeds, Wigan and Huddersfield under some serious pressure.
Of those 3 clubs, Leeds look to be in most danger.
With an ineffective pack and very average looking halves they could be in serious trouble.
Both Furner and Lam have been left with squads in transition.

As for Huddersfield, I wonder if they are missing their ageing, ill disciplined HB a046.gif

Brough is going fine at Trinity (excepting a couple of sin binnings) and his kicking game alone is worth a spot in most SL sides.

As for Hull last night, they came second in all departments although Shaul looked pretty good at the back and his kick return and dealing with Brough's kicks was excellent.

Right, so if London do amazingly well and stay up (in what is mainly their championship squad) right now, who would you HONESTLY expect to get relegated ??
I'll go for Huddersfield.

The Leigh and Wakefield fans mentality...... Say something negative about any other team than theirs - Its an opinion Say something negative about Leigh and Wakefield - TROLL:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_77270.jpg

Wigan or Leeds. Both look hopelessly out of their depth in SL

I think Shudds have got something to work with.
I think Wigan will force it through with grit and violence.
Its Leeds, Leeds are looking all at sea right now but it is only game 6 so there is plenty of opportunity for somebody else to disappear down the plughole.
Still got London for bottom 4, they're not looking like nailed on bottom finishers though tbh
