Noticed a media report saying that the RFL was in discussion with the London Olympic management over the use of it's Stadium in 2013.....as a RL World Cup venue.

Perhaps they will make it a condition of any future SuperLeague licence in London that the holders play out of the stadium. Sorry Quins but have always been of the view that The Stoop is not the ideal venue for a SuperLeague team.......the bars are ok but the TRANSPORT LINKS are disgraceful.

At least the Olympic Stadium is going to be well served by tube, rail, bus and parking icon_exclaim.gif icon_exclaim.gif icon_exclaim.gif Any views icon_confused.gif:

Am sure in the standard a couple of weeks ago that it was stated the use of the stadium post 2012 could not fit Football or Rugby both codes as the running track will have to stay.

Transport links! Pretty much on the M4, M3, M25, 40ish mins from M1, SWT Twickenham 10 mins away only thing is that we don't have a tube nearby!

Any new club playing out of a big stadium with small crowds would just be lost.

Great idea — throw away all the work that has gone in to building a community presence in the local area at one fell swoop.

We're not all Southern Softies:



Our future is to stay allied to the Quin's.
The stadium is perfect for our needs & hopefully, we will get more interaction with our Union counterparts.
As for terrible transport links, whats wrong with 6-8 trains an hour from Waterloo with an average journey time of 20-25 minutes. (I know that there have been problems with track maintenance but that is countrywide.Hence the reason I have not travelled to Castleford today.)
Also, Richmond Tube Station is only a few minutes away & the motorway network is close by.
As for talk of uprooting again. NO WAY!!!!!

Last season there was talk of possibly London Skolars moving to the Olympic Stadium post 2012.

Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently. Rosa Luxemburg, 'Die russiche Revolution'.:Black Backgrounds/Zoot.gif

With the club's history, that makes it a given, then.

The RFL is thinking about a second London Super League club --- possibly Skolars --- not about having Harlequins move!

Richard Lewis wants two SL clubs in London to create a local derby, and also to give real professional opportunities for the massive and increasing number of working class London boys who want to be the next Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Tony Clubb or Will Sharp.

Is this a 'working class' boys play League, the rest play Union type of thing ? If it is then it seems to be a pretty efficient way of alienating all of them.

I don't know what the next step up is from 'massive' but whatever it is, multiply it by 10 and you'll have a rough idea of the number of boys that play Rugby Union. Whatever you may think, Rugby League is up against it down here and by appearing to target 'working class' boys over everyone else it will make it even harder, if not impossible.

Why don't they just give real professional opportunities to anyone who wants to take the game up ? a046.gif

Perhaps I miswrote the qualifier "working class." The game is open to everyone. But it is the working class who are more likely to become professional rugby league players than the university students present or future.

The middle class boys, whom I suspect are the core and majority of the "10 times" number who play rugby union in London, are never going to be professional rugby union players, because it would interfere with their university studies or with their active careers in business,banking, medicine, law or another profession.

I doubt that will happen for a considerable amount of time. What we need is 1, self sufficient London based team, with gates over 8,000 and challenging for honours with a squad full of our own, home grown talent.
If the RFL were to put skolars in whilst we have 4,000 crowds, I believe that some of our northern cousins might well top themselves icon_lol.gif
Seriously, if we can get to 8,000 gates by 2016, THEN maybe look at a second London Franchise.
