So the announcement is at High Noon! I do hope we haven't dug up Gary Cooper, he may be a little Hovis these days.

New name and ‘brand’, ownership coming soon. 


A bit of an announcement about an announcement, really. Not enough meat on the bones in terms of details.

Essentially a new start from 2026. Staying at Wimbledon. New investment and a rebrand.

Also reinstallation of the academy.

I guess there is a bit of a framework taking us forward. Precious little meat on the bones though as perhaps is understandable. As I've said previously, not keen on another name change unless it's just London RLFC. 


Would like to see the back of the black shirts. In 1980 nobody played in all black (other than the ABs) so it looked imposing, but now the whole world & their dog have either a 2nd or third kit that is black. We need something vibrant but I'm assuming if we're getting a new name, we may get new colours.


We wait with bated breath for news of the new ownership group. 

Fingers crossed this works out them and Rugby League in London London Broncos partner with Australian firm as part of new five-year plan - BBC Sport

I will be pleased with the club having an academy again.


All in all what came out today is a step forward. If not a all that we hoped for.

I think the club is moving forward again now with this annoucement.

I like the black shirts but, just to throw this into the renaming pot, I wouldn’t go with London Blackshirts. 

Trying to unpick the substance from the froth is a little tricky but this is clearly a positive. We have some grown ups involved and they’ll give it their best shot. I do think we are in some danger of sliding into L1 with current small squad so some speculation in the immediate May pay dividends for the future. For me I always thought Broncos was a stupid name but changing name is fraught with danger. As for colours I think the black silver red looks smart whereas the multi colour quarters is a car crash to my eyes but each to their own. Hope it all goes well.
