It is just the Salford way:



Ok I know that they beat us in a good second half performance and I know that our attendances are not hitting the 8k mark hoped for but yesterdays official attendance figure was......... 1,517

Having a team in London is a joke, give a decent northern team a place instead.

Why have a team from Salford ?
Average this year will be around 5k
Continually in the bottom 4
Not won anything of note for over 30 years.
I dont think we can really have a go at anyone

The London club have had investors such as Richard Branson,Ian Lenaghan and David Hughes.
Despite low attendances they keep on going and have lots of young people playing the sport.
Yorkshire owners of clubs are not very convincing and the ones in Wales who attracted the RFL were amongst the worst.
The club also signed some better than average players and supporters of other clubs seem to find the fixture down there attractive.
LMS seems to be doing okay at Saints so their production line may have started.

Where else would your so-called fans go to get drunk, and make prats of themselves without getting slung out or a good kicking?

Such a bad trolling attempt by the OP, I'm surprised anyone is falling for it.

In a word, expansion.
I think RLW reported there are now more kids playing RL in the South East than in the Leeds area.

Feltham, Staines, Hemel, Oxford and Skolars are slowly feeding into the Broncos team. That's unlikely if we're in the Championship. And the kids are unlikely to move to a club up north.

I would like to see a 3rd team outside the M62 corridor represented in the SL in the next 10 years. It would certainly give more of an argument to 'it is a northern game' isn't it?

I just hope no one takes yesterday's attendance as a standard. I've heard elsewhere it's the lowest ever, which is probably understandable given current circumstances (the team's performances this season, the Olympics, holidays etc).

Might also be worth pointing out that no London team has finished in the relegation spot in SL.

sorry, what do you mean ?

If London RL only averaged 500 speccys in SL home games, there would still be a 'positive spin' about them.
They are 'irrelevant'......END OF.

Someday, somewhere, today’s empires are tomorrow’s ashes.:



London's average attendance this season will be something like 2,800. Ours will be around 5,600. So, after just 30 years, they've already managed to achieve an average attendance that is around half of the figure we've taken 130 years to achieve.

There may be clubs out there whose fans can criticise London's attendances. We aren't one of them.

I always find it amusing that people who would no doubt call themselves traditionalists, and who claim to support promotion and relegation (as I do myself), want to throw a club out of the league because their crowds aren't high enough.

As much as I'd like to have a pop at London myself... I still see a reason to have them in SL despite the attendances. Just having a presence away from the heartlands I believe is important for one... but mainly... They have a very good development programme in the South. They have a good presence in a number of schools... so as long as they are in some schools and occupying some kids minds away from Union... I see a reason to keep them in. The public may not have a huge interest down there... but I've often thought they should occupy an area of London and use that name rather than use the whole city of London in the title... as it could increase attendances.

And for what it's worth.... I'd get rid of Catalans any day of the week before I'd get rid of London.
