...now, changing Quins names to Flamingoes, and playing in Pink. That's progress!

Of course we could go the whole ridiculous hog (sorry, Keith) and name ourselves after something else that once lived here. London Dinosaurs anybody?'"
there were once bears in leigh before the centurians killed them off!

| Pointing the finger at St Helens, arguably one of the biggest clubs in the competition is laughable. Sort your own club out before pointing the finger elsewhere comes to mind. I will eat my hat if Saints don't get 15,000 when they move into their new ground.

1649_1338292262.jpg 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 |

Come on Moe? don't be so touchy, bet you wish you could get the same attendances as Wigan week in and out do! Leeds do however bad they are playing and also Hull, even Bradford have come back and beat you on attendances of previous seasons at Knowsley Road. Yes you are one of the biggest clubs in the competition, but not off the pitch for a long time, even your Friends at Warrington attract more through the gates and did last season. I thought you would get more travelling to Widnes with your success but it has not been the case and the attendances must lead to a serious loss this season off the pitch when the accounts come out!
Funny in the rugby press today how that correspondent on the letters page, who always seems ever present Mr Duffy (yes from St Helens) points out how it was wrong that Wigan were the power for far too long and now it is Warrington! you have had so much on the field success at St Helens but never got the crowds you should have done. I feel it is good to see Warrington doing so well, Simon Moran like David Hughes here has spent a lot of his own personal money.
I hope you get the 15K, but after the first few games I think it will settle down to 12,500 - 14,000 and that is being optimistic! Perhaps when we catch you up in one hundred and how many years we will be getting the same crowds, hope so LOL!

Stay at the stoop
Kit to be green [ the green machine ] lets be different and stand out , too many red and whites
Sorted
1.Not sure about staying at the Stoop it sounds like the rent is killing us.
2.Fanbase is poor because the club is in the snootiest of RU heartlands
3.Dont use red and white as primary colours for a kit ie Saints/wigan/ HKR/Crusaders/Catalan/Salford
4.Have a name relevant to the city eg.Thames valley Storm/Titans, London city Storm/Ravens/Towers,East End Geezers?

| Either Ravens or Griffins.
Ravens - to do with London and a decent name.
Griffins - original name, no one else has it, and for those that love to cling to past and London Broncos, we of course used to play at Griffin Park.

Well, there was our supporters' team for a few years ago.
But DuckDuckGo found this much more interesting example: www.mlive.com/sports/kalamazoo/i ... don_g.html
No idea who those London Griffins are, but how about "London Outrage" for a name? Would pre-empt about half of League Express's letter writers.

I've seen this mentioned on the VT, is there actually anything behind it or are people just suggesting it for the sake of it?

Please...it's bad enough when I have to do this to the northern hoardes
The average gates at London Broncos for the 2 seasons 2000-2001 was 3,335
The Avergae gate at London RL (AKA Broncos) for the 4 seasons 2002-2005 was 3,704
The average gate at Harlequins RL for the seasons 2006-2010 was 3,686
RU HQ happens to be in Twickenham.....it doesn't make it a Union Heartland. I would hazzard a guess that Bristol and the West Country is where the true RU Heartland is, but it isn't TW2 that's for sure.
People have to stop blaming the landlords and their stupid jersey for the clubs rubbish attendances......
