If the game was near London hardly anyone would watch it as it's a forgone conclusion to us and thus not worth the travel, and your attendances are dire
If the game was half ways between, same problems. As for 'spreading the word', I hardly think this will be a game we will want to use to advertise the sport
If the game was near Wigan (which it will be) maybe our fans still go while it's on our doorstep, you won't bring many but that's a given wherever the game is.

Don't blame the RFL, blame your fellow Londoners for not watching the Broncos and the club for not attracting fans. The sad reality is, even if you beat us and got to Wembley you would hardly bring any fans

Thats right...so many Wigan fans turned up last night - and people knock our support. Even Wigan Athletic would get a bigger crowd than that for a league cup game

Good thinking. That's the adventurous spirit that built the game. Now just watch it continue to shrink towards the near-invisibility it's beginning to deserve.

BTW, the game is not "near Wigan", [sizeit's IN Wigan.[/size

Ok let's stop whinging, if by some crazy fluke we win are we all going to be in here demanding its moved away from Wembley
Sorry boys and girls our away support is pretty dire, respect for those that do travel though
So what's wrong with it being where it is, at least with it being a home game for the pie eaters they don't have as far to go when they do the "Wigan walk" when Jamie s works his magic
Hey I can dream and I will have to watch it on telly anyhow as away working pah

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



Quote: Grimmy "even if you beat us and got to Wembley you would hardly bring any fans'"


This sums up the thinking of the game at HQ and also the only 4 tears that are really sustainable
currently in Super League. In media, I studied the downfall of wrestling on ITV with Kent Walton, and I think seriously our game currently shows such comparisons, how sad! RL does not deserve to succeed any longer, it is a sport going backwards.

I heard one young player at a Northern club said, how he is happier playing in the championship! as it allows him to have a well paid job as well, that will be his career for a lot longer than RL ever will be?

You're comparing the downfall of RL with the downfall of wrestling? PMSL, you have reached a new level of idiocy, which I'm surprised that even you could reach. Bravo.

Oh how the mighty fall. You no doubt thought the same a couple of years ago when drawn against the cats and looked what the final score was on the board. It is a one off game and I trust you will see your icon_ass.gif kicked on the day icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

To be fair Gus does act like the classic wrestling heel.

Perhaps he does have a future career running away in the ring after all these years of being chased by a bloke located the other side of the world.

Eh? A couple of years ago we won the challenge cup, beating Warrington, St Helens and Leeds in the process. Ohh you're harking back 6 years ago! That was 6th v 10th, I would hardly compare that to this game, which will be 1st v 14th. I'll be going to the game while it's only round the corner. I'm amazed at how much they are charging though, £18-£26 is a hell of a lot for this one. I'd have gone £10-£15 to get more people through the door
