| Lol, hopefully the Foundation will be back up and running before the Wives find out,ha.
But yeh, I see what you mean. It is an emotive subject, especially when redundancies are made, and I have no right in trying to understand that, as I can't even imagine the pain. It's examples like that which do make me question the administration's budgeting/deals to get people in as we didn't create enough of a buzz before perhaps,
However, with TK on board, hopefully we will get some good advisors on board. The only way is up.

interesting stat about the 40,000 students who were the recipients of rugby league lessons.
I have 2 questions that you or others may know the answer to.
1. Was this during pe lessons or after school?
2. Of those 40,000 did any ever play for the broncos or play in super league?

| Quote: TMF "The Foundation, may it rest in peace, was the biggest provider of curricular and extra-curricular sports in Richmond, Kingston and north Surrey and second only to the Football League Trust-funded Brentford FC in Hounslow. The schools programme was the biggest outside West Yorkshire, the staff and the programmes won numerous awards and the results of the schools and community club system fed through into the academy which a load of local kids play Super League. Every school in the London Borough of Richmond played Rugby League. They coached RL to about 40k kids a year, ran women & girls programmes, learning difficulties, young offenders, holiday camps and got the first southern winners of a national Rugby League schools competition.'"
So you would expect to see a burgeoning junior rugby league scene in SW London ? Do you think this is the case ?

AK has been paid to take us in....the RFL have loaned him a staff member who is currently looking after all things on-line and getting us in the local media, the RFL have also emailed their database on our behalf.
All AK has done is rent us some office space and sell about 200 fans some memberships to his venue.....he is not "on board". His standing up at a forum and telling 50 fans that he's excited and eager is and wind until he starts to spend some time an money on the club....

| Lol, yep, though he sounds like a Lanlord who actually wants us there, as it will mean bumping his pockets for his Business also. Things are looking good. Friends with Mutual benefits

I bet the Stoop would have loved the same deal too

| Once again, we are all not privvy to that kind of information and don't know if the Stoop had been offered that or increased its rent to us? I think we are forgetting that we were a week from ceasing to exist and yet we still bemoan the Stoop situation

| If we had ceased to exist then it would have been entirely down to the ineptitude of the management. Yet you want to celebrate the fact that a championship level team and setup has emerged from the wreckage. To cap it all the same goons are still running the show.

| Ofcourse it would have been due to ineptitude. But there is no point in dwelling on mistakes and the past. It is about learning and moving productively forward. Constant criticism and whining and moaning will not acheive anything but bring morale down and a negative, posinous atmosphere. We don't need it. We get enough of that from other fans.
It the idea is to get the administration out, then why not do something productive and set up a petition.
If it came down to having a glimmer of a chance with a Championship squad as opposed to zero chance, I will always take the glimmer and support the lads. Any Given Sunday (or Saturday or Thursday and Friday for that matter).
I will celebrate that to the hills. Come On You Broncos!

1. Mixture of both, but given your badly hidden agenda, I am sure you don't care either way. The fact that you'll ignore is that 40,000 kids were exposed to the game.
2. Not sure about the use of drugs in Leeds with regards to the development of youth, but given the Harlequins RL work started in 2006, expecting a SL player to pop out at the far end inside 6 years is asking a bit much. We have had a couple of kids come through the pathway offered by having a team in SL down here.....one'sust signed a contact extension at St Helens whilst the other is on the Books at Wigan and has scored 4 tries for his country at senior level in a COMPETATIVE game. I seem to remember it was hard-on central when little Sammy T scored 4 against a poor France in a mid season friendly.....but I am sure your agenda doesn't allow for such stats.
3. I don't, but given that there are approximately 800% MORE RL Teams in the Region compared to pre-SL and a London SL team, I am sure one or 2 picked it up.
Now, before you scuttle off to think of some witty riposte to the facts above, here's another couple of tit-bits for you to digest.
1. Your Coach (the guy that's won a couple of SL's for you) reckons that London offers a massive future to RL if only the game in general would embrace and nurture it. Short termists, like yourself, expect too much too soon and are happy to point to terrible crowds as "proof it's not working" when in fact, up until it was butchered at the end of last year, it was working.
2. If further proof that it was working were needed, can I suggest you google "Howard of Effingham School win at Wembley"......I mean to say, if a Surrey School can win a national title that is that important it is played as a warm up to the 2nd biggest game in the domestic season, surely the growth of the game should be encouraged down in the south rather than binned so another pit village team can stumble along with 5k crowds and eventually go tits up?
Thanks for popping in

Whilst the architects of the downfall of the club I support are still in place, I will "dwell" all I like thank you very much. The fact that people who were not only good at their jobs but were also passionate about what they were doing were cast aside to make way for the "husk" of an entity that is left is bad enough, but the added bitterness this attracts comes from the w4nker who caused the problem not only continuing to steal a wage, but also managing to unload any semblance of responsibility, past, present or future onto someone else.
As for the mistakes that have been made in the past.
You saying that the club have learnt from them doesn't actually mean that the club have actually learnt from them. The same as 2 players buying sandwiches isn't community work, or that posting on facebook isn't cutting edge marketing.
I'll reserve judgement on this brave new dawn off the pitch until we see how many fans they can attract to the first few games......as for on the pitch, I think that the hammering by Widnes may well turn out to be one of the teams "highlights" this year....I can see us shipping 100 points in a game and I pray to god that if it happens, it happens away from home!

| Gutters, you are forgetting that Tony Rea attracted the attention of 5 people while wearing his track suit at a local eaterie. That must mean that everything is ok, doesn't it?

I know, I said it was the tiniest inkling of players getting out there, but you cling on to that tiny bit and twist it, to make it sound like everything is ok. For LOVES sake, GET BEHIND YOUR TEAM AND STOP SNIPING.

That presupposes that they are still his team!
