Quote: gutterfax "London in London....even if it's in the 2nd(middle) tier of a "new SL structure is key. Kent Invicta .v2 would do nothing for the growth of the game.'"
Part of the problem "back in the day" is that expansion sides had their players based up north and they would live and train in Yorkshire and just travel down on the day to play the game. Some teams had two separate groups of players: one in the north and one locally and they would train separately. However bad Broncos problems might be, they don't have this problem.
The other issue is that there wasn't an appropriate league to play in and so being the whipping boy in the lowest league was a certainty - see Skolars when they were a new side. New sides coming in this time have had it much easier. There probably could never be a repeat of the Invicta situation (and they were never a 2nd tier side anyway).
