More Sad news , though I think it was expected , no doubt our resident "Rumplestiltskin ", on the message board will be happy , and dancing .

If London survive this and are still to be included in SL next year it will be another 'nail in the coffin' for the RFL!

That depends on whether it would be a new company or whether they're simply being taken over and moved to Barnet.

True Matt - I think the RFL have some more 'pressing matters' to resolve first in order to stop them nails

Well if what I gather from Saley's post is anything to go by then they can't stay in the Non Relegatable league unless the licenscing rules go out of the window as they did for Bradford. So of couse they will.

Whilst I do not like to see any club in trouble it is about time promotion and relegation was brought back and more importantly a fairer distribution of TV money.

Licenscing' as I predicted from day one has indeed proved to be a disaster for pro RL.

Frank. London will be given all the help and cncessions they have asked for, and then some. SKY will insist on it. Our sport yet again shows itself to be corrupt and unfair. RL really is going to die out if this carries on. Whilst I feel sorry for London and their fans. Come on, they've had a professional team there for 40 years and they still can't attract large enough crowds to fill a mini bus. And that from the largest city in Europe.

If Sly TV were that bothered about having LB in SDL why haven't they come forward and bought the club? It's not like there isn't a precedent. Sly's owners News Corp already own Melbourne Storm and have previously (not sure if they still do) owned Brisbane Broncos.

I agree Rob.

But re taking over the two Australian clubs you have to remember they are in a country where RL is the biggest sport and Rupert Murdoch was born over there.

I see they have locked a similar thread on the VT. Saley go and quote your text to them

They haven't.

Seems it's been quoted on the London forum anyway.

Sorry to say that the time has come for London to step aside and let some other club to have a go ie Leigh ,how many times does a super league club have to go bankrupt before the rfl say enough is enough or is the rfl keeping it a closed shop and allowing clubs to go against all the franchise rules come on rfl play fair if you know what that means

On a serious note it makes no sense for London Broncos to be kept in Non Relegation League with their suggested line up as they would just get hammered in every game next season and their fans must know that as surely must everyone else

The dilemna for the game is what league Broncos would they start in next season and wether there is a current Championship team ready to replace them.

Well quite frankly I would expect the current Non Relagation league to go with 13 teams and Broncos to go in Championship 1 because currently I don't think there is any Championship club who could afford to go full time next season given the fact that their season tickets have already gone on sale.

Broncos share of the TV money for next season should be shared out between teams outside non Relegation league including them.

I can't see any other resolution to this but some may disagree.

Btw the sharing of the TV money might also save Swinton who seem to be in big trouble.
