| As a Salford fan, I know how I felt twelve months ago. After a lifetime of supporting the club it was horrible. I sincerely hope there is light at the end of this tunnel for all London fans and that you emerge from administration in a stronger position.

You do have a link to these rule changes then? Even a report from a decent paper?

Said all along it was a "Brewster's Millions" scenario.

Have you got any printed media or press release proof of this new edit from the RFL? I have checked and spoken this morning with several RL staff in media and clubs and they are not aware of this ruling.

| There was always a possibility this would happen. That it has, is testament to both the incompetence of our management and the malaise at the RFL, unable to help bring us to a resolution sooner.
Apart from it being a bad headline before a really important world cup fortnight, it is merely another proud moment on Gus Mackay's glittering CV. The halfwit.
What is telling is the anger on twitter being vented by the remaining players. It is the first time we have seen such a tangible lack of faith in those running the club but it is clearly a feeling that has been festering for some time.

All we can go on is what the current chairman has told supporters, Andrew Glover and James Elston wanted to take the club into administration but the RFL advised that if this happened Trinity would be demoted, hence the club selling the better players for a total of £250k over the last two months to avoid it. Who knows whether London will get the same message?
rlThis guy is the Trinity chairmanrl
Any clues on what liabilities the club are looking to shed as I though all debt was owed to Hughes? Is this just a game of hardball with the RFL?

But Wakey went into admin during the licencing process already, to do it again would have really took the biscuit, London last went into admin pre licencing in 2005

I suppose the operational rules will have to be updated to account for multiple administrations within a set period then. 2 strikes and you're out.

Comes from our chairman, guess he should know. There was no two strikes and you're out ruling either previously so it seems like a new edict.

| I was listening to TalkSport this afternoon and they were discussing London Broncos.
They seemed to suggest that the Barnet talks have broken down and no longer an option
Offiah was asked about our situation...he hasn't got any updated info but said Tony Rea was positive when he spoke to him a couple of weeks back.
I know we like to have MO as a pantomime villain on here, but he did speak up for the club and the importance of having a SL club in the capital.
Such a sad situation we find ourselves in when ,at last,our youth programme has produced results and flourished (and on the eve of the biggest RL event in London for years).

Yes i heard that as well. Of course losing London means losing a source of players for him so he has an interest in our future existence.

So if not Barnet where?
For some reason I have the opening lines of Blur's 'No Distance Left to Run' going round my head........'It's over, you don't need to tell me'
