...and what happened ??

As I expected, Tony Clubb added toughness to the team on Friday night.

London Broncos are now only two points outside the top 8, and only five points outside the top 4!

London Broncos brilliant victory in the mud over Castleford has taken London to just two points from the top 8 again.

This is an important away victory. What a great turn around for this plucky team!

Next Saturday London are at home against Hull FC.

We need 3,000 London fans to show up to out shout the traveling Hull fans.

Credit where credit is due. Well done boys with a fantastic result. Now back it up with a win against Hull and the season is alive.

London has the individual talent to be in the top 8, especially with Craig Gower as the playmaker. It is up to the individuals to give their best each week and to play as a team.

2,538 is the Lowest gate for Hull in London....4,665 the biggest with an average of 3,633 over 17 games. 6th biggest draw in SL for London...anything less than 3k will be a disgrace!

Won't even get close to 3k. Hope I'm wrong

What a shame that London are up against top 6 sides for the next few weeks. I hope it doesn't demoralise the team if they lose all of them, because I still think that, when they play with passion and with Gower, the team can beat at least half the clubs in Super League.

The next few weeks may skew the club's position on the table negatively. However after that phase, they can start to win and hence climb the table again, if their mental attitude is right.

Problem is, with sub 1k gates, the team will ask themselves "what's the point".......if they don't get a result on Thursdsay, it may well be June before they can win a game....
Losses to Widnes and Wakey in the opening weeks spelt the end of their PLay-off hopes in 2013.....the club are moving away from the stoop next year and patently, the fans and back office staff can't be bothered any more......dead man walking is a pretty accurate way to describe the club.

...he's too busy making poppadoms!

4 Home games so far this year:

Widnes, 2,856: 14% down on the average gate 1996-2012.
Wakefield, 1,887: 34% down on the average gate 1996-2012
HKA, 1,837: 44% down on the average gate 1996-2012
Hull FC, 1,865: 49% down on the average gate 1996-2012.

Thus far, 2,111: 43% down on the average seasons gate 1996-2012

Catalans average to date 1996-2012 is 2,635........I reckon they'll get half of that at best....and if it's cold and wet, the 1k mark is at risk!

You also have major road works on the M25 both north and south sides, night before a bank holiday, poor weather, could be interesting travel.

Catalans gate will be 1000 tops I reckon.

At least 1000 will make it look pretty full at Esher !
