I get the impression you'll only be happy when your doomsday scenario occurs. I think you said you were over for the Bulls game (dont forget to pack your anorak calculator and happy pills) will you be tackling the abysmal failure of David Hughes directly with the man or are you just another spineless keyboard warrior?

Assuming no other discussions taking place, Assuming no deals being struck, assuming no one else steps into the breach after this year, assuming DH is stepping aside and that actually assumes the club isn't in a better position both playing and off field wise. Yes one scenario of the future direction but it doesn't have to be the outcome. Nor does it have to be everyone's expectations or hopes for the future.

If given the opportunity I will ask him what he intends to so with the club he has saved then destroyed. I have no qualms about asking him but I doubt I'll get a straight answer. I wouldn't expect a civil reception either, but I've never been about making friends.....I've always been about making the club a successful business.

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!

| Dead in the waterI DON'T THINK SO. RL in the south will be supported by the RFL and quite rightly. It's great to see the structure that's developed in the south and your club must now link in to the increased activity. I'm a RL supporter from the North but spend most of my working life in the south. I have always thought that any London based team will be up against it mainly because its never acheived any kind of stability . Getting people interested ain't easy, keeping them interested needs a dedicated team with a genuine interest. The London club must now formulate a plan over a set period of time, make it achievable and keep the supporters up to date, it ain't going to happen over night. One things for sure the souths got some realy good talent , it's now up to London to develop as a club and make itself attractive. Good luck

Gutters, I've said this before but I reckon it bears repeating - it's bad enough the club flushing itself down the khazi these past few seasons without you appearing to delight in it happening!
