define major? a few years back, most London fans would have said making the 8 would be a major achievement...now not finishing bottom would be a major feat!

If it's down to Gus, the major announcement will be about switching from Pataks to Simtom curry paste!

Dose anyone have any insider information from the club? Surely some one must.

Years ago we were second from bottom, the following year we had incumbent Origin and International players signed. We finished higher but just out of the finals (from memory). That's an improvement. Difference being when they were second last, they announced a few of their marquee signings early for the only time, to give hope to the fans. This time, they've kept schtum as normal. This would suggest, and without foundation, that the haven't signed the likes of Hetherington, Barnett, Dymock, Moran, Tozza and Roy. For those who remember, I even interviewed a couple of these people for the London website way back when, this was to try and keep people's chins up in tough times.

Quote: Partisan "Dose anyone have any insider information from the club? Surely some one must.'"

One of the outstanding achievements of the CEO has been to totally alienate the regular fans. He has also fired anyone he can in an attempt to cover up his own incompetence and as a result, there is no one left at the club to leak information and no fans left to leak that information to!

The last rumour was that The Hive in Barnet was being proposed as a home for us next year. It is a 3,500 or so capacity "stadium" which is being used by Barnet while they try to get themselves back into the football league.
Other rumours are Orient with a Barry Hearn tie in or Gillingham, but the Gills chairman has most definitely cooled on the idea of us moving there.

Odds are that unless a MAJOR financial backer can be found, we will see out our last year in SL either at the stoop or at the Hive.....chances are as it's the last season, we will field mainly inexperienced youth with the 8 or so players we have left on contract, finish bottom on 0 points and nobody will really miss us.

To be fair its a tough call, Pataks is cheaper but Simtom has a bit more if a subtle, rich taste.

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



Reading thread after thread here daily, is giving those idiots at Red Hall a complete field day!

Last night someone from London asked Ralph Rimmer, what will happen to The London Academy, the reply from Mr Rimmer was, regardless of whatever happens with London Broncos, we will continue with a London Academy Team.

Unfortunately, I only read the response from Ralph, which in full context, read more like an Obituary Notice.

I don't visit other clubs forums, except Saints sometimes being born in the town, wonder how Bulls fans are reacting? to they have money problems and the players can't be paid, until the 8th August instead of last Friday? - Even though last Friday Robbie Hunter Paul, had stated no panic, it is only really due on Monday, the 30th?

That is patently false.

Rea was originally invited over as a temporary coach and to choose a successor. There were multiple candidates for the job, but the managerial genius David Hughes decided to make the selector of the new coach become the "permanent" coach!

It is not blatantly false, once all the prospective "candidates" were told of the restrictions and saw the lack of ambition, they one by one pulled out, trust me, no bugger wanted the job!

No PR/Marketing department.
No money for any "marquee" signing.
No mid-season monies.
No strategy for fanbase growth.
No strategy for Amateur Club growth.
I could go on, but just about all the London fanbase on here are fed up to the back teeth of hearing about it to be honest.
