Quote: Dave Lister "Moving outside London would be a disaster. It would really put all our eggs in one very small basket. With regards to sponsors, on the flip side, in a "big town", there is far less money floating around than in London.'"


Well it wouldnt, we would still have the South East catchment area, not many of our fans live in SW london. And having a normal town, with normal newspapers who just want to support their local sports teams and a normal town centre to market in would be much easier and cheaper. Big fish in a small pond and a more grateful population who are looking for a team to support with their family. Why do you think S*racens play in Watford, W*sps play in Wycombe, *rish play in Reading? Smart business decisions.

I can see what you are saying, and I realise this is obviously a hypothetical discussion, but the RU teams could play anywhere and draw a crowd. I think our current location is perfect, with only one professional RL team in the South, we have to represent and draw from London as best we can. The prospect of a day out in Wycombe, Reading or Watford hardly inspires me tbh.

i understand enough that it aint worked in 3 seasons.that it wont work in another 100 seasons.we have gone backwards.what makes you believe it will succeed.face it,we are going nowhere fast and we need a kick start somewhere else.do you honestly think we would not generate much needed publicity/fans at the olympic stadium.the transport links alone we help.

So you think we should undo whatever work we have done, upsticks, AGAIN, with no guarantees, instead of working with what we have?

Three years is enough for you, disregarding the fact that other clubs have built up their fan bases over DECADES. Get this into your head, our sport is still a MINORITY sport in the South, crowds aren't just suddenly going to appear out of thin air. It takes TIME.

The transport links to our ground are brilliant. In fact, getting to Stratford would be a pain in the . There is absolutely 0 chance of us getting anywhere near the Olympic Stadium for starters, so please just stop it.

You are of the opinion that 2 seasons with 16 attendances of under 3000 consitutes decent crowds?

Quote: Dave Lister "
seeing as this topic is entitled olympic stadium i thought we might discuss this.
transport links are not brilliant.no tube ,problems with engineering works at weekends.
undoing the community work is a downside.although with community officers in the sw london kids can still access league at school level.i dont see hoards of schoolkids at games so that wont affect attendances.
why would it be difficult getting to east london that its not getting to sw london.
as i keep saying the stoop aint working icon_frustrated.gif

Last post from me on this topic, as I can see that you are very impatient and short sighted with no grasp of the growth of Rugby League. IT WON'T HAPPEN. See you at the Crusaders game, in our horrible stadium that is impossible to access.

For 96 but not when we returned there. My view is that having a decent side has a lot more impact on gates then location. We finished 4th in 96, 2nd in 97, 7th in 98.
