I will be witnessing my first ever live game on Sunday having got hooked on RL on Sky over the last few years. I used to watch it as a kid on Saturday afternoons with Eddie Waring commentating and always enjoyed it then even though it was a very different game then ( more like wrestling matches).
I did have a ticket for the Catalan game but couldn't make it through illness but my two sons went and thoroughly enjoyed the evening despite the result.
I normally watch Burgess Hill Town trying to play football. It was a dismal season with the players totally lacking in confidence while the losses kept mounting. Eventually a new manager was appointed and managed to get two wins out of the team from the final two games to avoid relegation. It was an all too familiar sight to me on Sunday watching the Broncos players capitulate so easily and surely it is essential to get someone in to change the losing mentality.
It would be just typical of my luck if the Broncos did fold after finally getting around to going to games.

I think we should all go to the Widnes game dressed as Sheikhs, the club will welcome us with open arms as new investors and then hey presto we take the towels off our heads in protest!

Quote: Ronniequin "I just wonder if there is some sort of agenda going on here. I have never been happy with the explanations offered as to why David nearly folded the club just before the last licence round. Apparently it was the culmination of 6 months of negotiation. When I asked about this at a fans forum I was told it was entirely due to Wigan not releasing Josh Charnley to us, how fatuous!
David knows the game inside out and knows the limitations even better than we do. I just wonder if last season and this is a deliberate attempt to force the RFL to actively support rugby league in London in a manner never seen before and stop paying lip service to expansion and stop relying entirely on David's generosity. Whether this has been scuppered by the departure of Richard Lewis, who can tell. I do know that we have just 2 more years of David's money and the RFL better start finding some solutions quick.'"


The longer this inaction goes on by DH the greater the credence can be given to the argument in your last
paragraph. IIRC DH announced on the pitch prior to the last game of the season before this last round of
Franchises were announced that he expected greater finanacial support for the game in the South East as opposed
to his club. Perhaps ther RFL have not delivered and he has had enough.
There surely can be no other reason why he would sit back and see the current debacle continue.

Sorry, but this game of chicken with the RFL is surely the stuff of fiction?

If the players on the park are having their careers threatened by some poor imitation of back street horse trading between DH and the RFL, then I have to say they have a good case for legal action........this is their livelyhoods he is playing with. The Likes of J'OC and Dixon could earn a crust in Union.....having the skill coached out of them is criminal...especially id it's "ego" base in its reasoning icon_biggrin.gifEPRESSED:

Yes, by all means ask for assistance, but if you are actually doing something in the interim, whilst you are asking, it gives you a better chance of getting help.

Off the pitch, the club has been pretty much a basket case since the end of 2006..........and on the pitch, since about mid 2007.

I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg



It is beyond me why DH has allowed Powell to remain first team coach for so long! but Please don't use St Helens as an example when they replaced Simmons with a Junior Coach completely out of his depth in Rush! the team is now clueless!

Then yes I have respect for Skolars, but how long will it be before they are ever taken serious on the pitch? Yes they have sponsors but how much do they seriously pay? then look at Sunday's shambles match against Scorpions cancelled 30 mind before kick off due to ruts on pitch? due to rain they had not been allowed to roll the pitch for days! it makes it look as they are not much better organised than we are!
