For anyone who knows about the history of Rugby League, to get into bed with a Union side was to me treachery. 'The forbidden game' by Mike Rylance is a wonderful book for those who would like to know more about how Union behaved towards League.
I couldn't stomach it and I stand by my views on it. Furthermore, there was an element of the support who relished the decline of the clubs status, so that they were able to be acknowledged by the players as if they were all best mates.
I remember how well this manifested itself when we had Jon Wells the winger who didn't score. People refused to admit he wasn't Super League standard just because he was a good bloke. This attitude and refusal to ever be critical was the reason London got relegated.
My interest in why attendances were no longer published was borne out of no ill will. I hope London Broncos get promoted.'"

Good God this is like an old school re-union. Maybe the promise of SL in London next season has revived some memories. Be good to have this forum populated with opinions again. On the plus side how good has Danny Ward and this squad been this season. As soon as the bogey side Leigh were out of the equation they have looked invincible.

I suppose the one sided rubbish you put on here is funny at times. |

So you saying you don’t actually want to ignore me then? By the way the whole point of a forum is to put your point forward and debate it, nothing says you have to agree with what someone else says.

Alas..... A few years back the owners of this forum forgot that and as a result a great many posters left..... Or were asked to leave..... |

So. A post full of nothing but me me me me..... I didn't like it..... I was right...... Me me me me.
You can stand by your opinion if you like, but it is wrong and was shown to be so at the time. As for Jon Wells...... He was a player and he was picked...... You weren't and never will be the coach, so carry on with your decade bitterness...... He's doing OK for himself and is welcome at the club anytime.... You on the other hand......   |

Sorry to chip in call, but it’s a business. Pretty sure the club would be happy to take rupees money.
It’s not really about being welcome it’s not a club by invite, it’s a pay to attend. Has the cub banned rupe?

It kind of put me in mind of the football chant, and I'm paraphrasing here - ' Where were you when WE were s***e?'
Only kidding!  |

HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
