Maybe you were'nt around when Fulham withdrew, (no shame, I wasn't either) but when the 2nd Fulham entity went belly-up, is when I did get involved, been there ever since and for over twenty years I've heard the doom-mongers tell me I won't have a club to support VERY soon, and the punt-monkies, toasting and cheering the news that London RL is about to dissapear....well guess what? Still here!
No Stadia to play at?? Been there!
No Money for away trips?? Been there!
Not enough players to field a team?? Been there!
No money for kit?? Been there!
Owners pulling the plug?? Been there!
Been there, BUT still here! GF' you really must get over this delusion you have that London RL is all about Mr Hughes, it REALLY isn't y'know! It's about the few hundred of us RL fanatics in the capital, some have been around from the early 80's, some like me, from the early 90's, some joined in '96 with SL and all the hooplah and we've even a few more recent noobs, who have decided to persevere.
You may not like this, but I am not about to Foxtrot Oscar at Mr Hughes' say-so, nor yours for that matter! I don't disagree with your views on how it's been run, or on the dreadful lack of marketing, PR and promotional activity, I agree that Hughes has wasted shedloads of cash and employed imbeciles, but WE can't change that. Just don't get carried away with the idea that we are gonna dissapear, it really ain't gonna happen, Hughes might, London RL won't, count on it!
