But what can be done?
Hughes and Gus aren't going to wake up this morning and have suddenly turned into marketing genuises, are they? They won't employ a competent marketing manager who'll get 10,000 on the gate for the Widnes game.
Hughes and Gus will still make the same mistakes of years gone by and continue to make these mistakes as really there is nothing the fans can do.
There isn't enough fans to even have a half sensible thought about buying the club. And fan owned clubs aren't viable long term but even so, there simply isn't enough numbers to even begin to think of a sensible bid.

Black Backgrounds/Zoot.gif Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

The probem with that would be the inevitable cries of conflict of interest, just look at all the bad mouthing they got (admittedly with some justification) over Bradford. What really hacks me off about all this is that, fingers crossed, we're at last looking reasonably stable on the pitch.

1649_1338292262.jpg 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 |

But are the Bulls suffering now? they picked up one of the biggest sponsorships ever in the game, we still don't have a sponsor for Superleague or the Challenge Cup. The RFL should have been involved for a long time with a London Superleague club, a ground which should have become RFL Heeadquarters for the South, a centre of excellency for rugby league in the south of England. The only real chance of survival is for rugby league to accept they will have to become involved full time to ensure the game does survive in London/

I worked with the RFL trying to steer the club down the right route in 2006/07.......The RFL paid consultant and I put together a number of plans, all of which were ignored by the club...once bitten, twice shy I am afraid.

"That wasn't a kick, the was a pass with his foot!" Brian Noble making Andrew Voss lose sleep: |
|
| Quote: gutterfax "The Fixture list and the way it throws up ties, together with the scheduling of SKY TV coverage should not make one jot of difference to the club......now that they know the dates for the games, they should be planning how to market them and how to attract crowds to these games.
How anyone can say it's 'the fixtures' fault that we are the worst supported team in the league, even after a straight 17 years of top flight RL is beyond me.
Sorry if it's tedious to you sogspurs, but whilst you're happy to shrug your shoulders and attend Skolars games, the fact that the only top flight RL team in the SE is being butchered beore our eyes, is an issue to some.
Believe me, I'd rather discuss the roles of 6/7 and 9 this coming season and hoping that Witt, Lee, Randall and Gower all stay fit, giving us a real chance of the 8.....but every thime I think of the fiasco at TW2 it makes my blood boil.'"
When I said we have to swallow it I was referring to us having to play MNF this year as we all know it won't go well, what I am bored to death of is every thread being turned into the same thing, and bored of hearing scaremongering about us moving to Milton Keynes or Oxford or anywhere stupid like that.
Don't get me wrong here either GF I care very much about the club and want it to carry on being based in London (preferably the stoop) and I want it to be successful and well run and I think most of your suggestions are great ideas that should be considered or implemented but you are preaching to the converted on here with us, we know what's wrong but most of us are on here to talk about other issues involving the club, in this instance the fixtures.

| Regarding the Leeds Monday night game I thought when MNF came in last year both us and Catalans were "exempt" from it.

| Agree with just about everything GF has said. RFL probably do need to step in, certainly on a negotiating front - if for no other.
if we cannot/wont stay at the Stoop, it seems to me there are only two sensible options? Brentford, somehow buy into it (RFL? Me if i win the euromillions - though i believe you have to buy a ticket to win.....................) or Barnett with Sarries. just because it didnt work with Quins, doesnt mean it wont work with them.
I prefer Brentford but............................................
we have to sort and soon and market!
