I suspect the club has been murdered, put in the boot of a car which is parked at Heathrow by someone who headed for home.

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



Quote: Tre Cool "some kind of commercial strategy to go along side the pointless re-structuring. Wire bring in Emirates as a sponsor, Leigh bring in O2.....RFL bring in nobody for the World Cup or Super League and he thinks it's unacceptable and cant be swept under the carpet by re-structuring the leagues.'"


Yes Ian Leneghan wants what I have said should be for the way for a long time, the Super League to be run as a separate body looking for sponsors and marketing, but remaining a member of the RFL, who I have always said should be there to serve the clubs, not govern. Hetherington is far too close to Nigel, how could Bradford walk out and also Wakefield when they are looking for the RFL to stand by them, the sale with ourselves sadly. If anything Ian should have won over Bradford, Wakefield and ourselves that they would be looked after, not sure why Widnes have stayed on the RFL side? Not sure what Ian is on about when he says Super League Clubs should have a seat on the RFL Board? there should be no RFL Board, they are just officers to serve all clubs of RFL, but that is not how Nigel sees it?

Does anybody know if the Broncos were actually at the meeting? Represented by whom? Presume it would have to be Gus, DH having lost interest.

So did Gus travel to Leeds and back for a non-meeting? Or was he just on the phone? Or is he up there anyway for the duration of these never-ending discussions about the club's future?

Well. I guess we'll never know.

Gus I think was at the first meeting, but everyone is staying closed shop, to who was at last week's meeting. I just hope Ian Leneghan stands firm! there must be no backing down now, yes there will have to be some compromise on both sides, but for The Good of The Game change has to come, and not Nigel's Proposals!

Widnes have a CEO with the initials of JR who just happens to be a close friend with Kath from their time at Hull FC together.
In essence Gary Hetherington has 3 votes (Widnes, Wakey and Leeds), Yourselves are hoping for RFL help getting yourselves exemption and Salford still owe the RFL monies by all accounts.

So as far as the clubs go it's 6 against and 5 for (Saints, Cas and Bradford either unable to vote or not in a position to do so).
No problems you would think but the RFL get a vote so 6 all.
Still a tie and nothing changes until you count in 1 thing...................The RFL's casting vote.
Game set and match to the RFL/GH on a vote with THREE members missing and a promise the subject wouldn't be touched until after the WC.

The 6 rightly walked to stop what was a farce.

Writing's on the wall

We are three months from the start of the Super League season and still don't know if London Broncos are taking part.

Most of their best players have already headed north. If they do play in the 2014 campaign, it's hard to see them being competitive.

Every year, semi-pro side London Skolars play the Broncos in the heart of the financial district in the 'Capital Challenge'.

Next year, they've decided, they're playing Wigan.
