He is doing his job promoting the challenge. Yes, it is annoying that Wigan reserves are a bigger draw than London but it's hardly news and I echo the sentiments of others in hoping they make a decent wedge from the event.

| Skolars have done nothing wrong in my opinion.
They are getting on with running their Club properly by communicating and interacting with their fans and the General Public.
Totally the opposite way Broncos have behaved. For clarification just ask former Broncos employees. Ot you could try interacting with Gus. He will always keep you in the picture. With Barnet's admin do we really need a CEO at all?

I certainly didn't vote for Esher.
Still ended up playing a game there though.

I think you are living in a dream world.
Like a lot of people on these forums, you just assume that the RFL/SL/London Broncos/whoever can just host/muscle in on events as they please. What benefits would the RFU gain from anyone to do with RL piggybacking on their already hugely successful event that they have been building up for years? As has been established on that thread, the Big Game concept is more a social event than a genuine sporting occasion and good for them, it works and makes piles of cash. Nobody would give a monkeys about a half-baked friendly of Rugby League before hand. Crazy.

| Sadly it seems large parts of the thread are dominated by jealousy and blaming others (Harlequins RU, the BBC) for Rugby League's ills. The Broncos are in a mess, but it wasn't anyone else's fault but the club management/ownership.

You forget that Northerners know all the answers for London Dave - Not a dig at the OP btw.

| You would probably sell a few more tickets if it wasn't on a Friday afternoon.

Not necessarily, one of the things about this fixture is that it attracts some city folks out their offices (or the pub ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif) ).

My thoughts exactly.
This fixture is firmly aimed at City types.
None of them work on a Friday afternoon.

I would be irritated if I were you as well. Supporting the London Broncos and watching on as a London club is run well, communicates excellently, has a fairly permanent home and ties within the local community, it would irritate me too if I was a Broncos fan ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)
