Too late as far as the RFL are concerned. If Hughes had played for keeps back on 2008/2009 then maybe the RFL and/or SL might have purchased the club, as was later touted as a possible solution at Bradford, but now we aren't worth the hassle that the RFL would get from the myopic chairman of the middle 8 who seem to have the ear of Nigel and his cronies.
I have no doubt that if allowed, Ian Lenegan would pick up the reins at London if Hughes were to step away, but I suspect it is as you assume, that his terms are too harsh for anyone else to come on board whilst the club is saddled with the IOU's that Hughes holds.

Last time I recall David Hughes talking about it, he said he'd be happy to hand over a debt free club for nothing to an appropriate investor, I doubt any have come along. In a city of 8.6 million, at best there have been 7000 London Broncos fans interested enough to watch regularly, and it's unlikely that many would be able to fund the club. Given we're down to less than a 1000, it's even less likely. I expect the search continues.

I'm sure "the many" can indeed take the reins, and build a successful club. I've personal experience of the level of commitment we could call on should the need arise, and the support across the game for a successful London. I am as convinced as I've always been that a supporter owned Broncos can be a success.

700 is the number we are now on and nobody will invest 1,500 per fan per season........not when there is little chance of that figure ever getting back to the days of it only being 200 pop.

Well if nobody will invest we might as well stick with what we have

I still think you would not know that for certain till Hughes walks away. Based on what has happened at other clubs in recent years, investors have only come out of the woodwork at the eleventh hour and any offer of RFL assistance even later still. London was very far from the financial predicament of those clubs when Hughes contemplated walking away.

London managed to attract the likes of Lenegan in the not so distant past. I assume Hughes owned a minority share and Lenagan the major share at that time? I'd be interested in knowing how Lenegan became interested in London in the first place. Is the RFL offering any assistance in finding a new investor now, even if it is only selling the idea of London RL to potential investors and RL fans in the North. Is the RFL offering any assistance in finding a stable home for RL in the south ...are they actually at all interested in expanding the sport outside of the Heartlands? Again, I don't think you would really know the answer to these questions until Hughes walked away.

Just to clarify.
2008:- 3,600 fans delivering 50k+ a game revenue, 9th spot in the elite division, Academy in the play offs, 500k PA national sponsor, state of the art Rugby Ground and offices.
2015:- 650 fans delivering 0 revenue, 6th in the 2nd tier, Academy at the foot of the table, selection of tin pot local sponsors, looking like we're homeless again in 2016 and moving West again, offices in Hertfordshire.(North...not west)

You'd rather stick with the slow agonising death that the club has had inflicted upon it by a single person because no matter how badly that person CONTINUOUSLY gets it wrong, they are at least paying for the privilege of destroying us, rather than "rip off the plaster' now? What's the worst thing that could happen?

Would you stop attending if we dropped down another peg?

Did we even have a main sponsor in after Streetwise Sports until WIN, who lasted half a season? I can't believe Sports Café paid 500k a season - and if they did it was over the odds and as part of IL's support.
As of now, we also have a state of the art rugby ground. The Hive.
I'll raise you 1997, 7000 fans, 2nd spot in the elite division, Academy producing 1st team players (not sure of their record), a well known sponsor (no idea how much that was worth), reasonable ground.
Who was responsible for the failure of the club to drop to such depths as 3600 fans and a club dependent on the largesse of IL?
Don't bother answering - it's rhetorical. I'm not that bothered.

Don't raise Glum Fox then say don't bother answering!!

Prepare for pages and pages of attendance and financial figures/stats brought out of the archives plus if you've really annoyed him his 20 point improvement plan which would be topical given its bedding plant season !

Im not sure my PC will take this!

wire-quin it keeps him off the streets and out of trouble, I just ignore.................

Jim, just a couple of points, it was actually you that said nobody will invest I agreed with you if you have no other investors you stay with what you have or go out of business.
As for iwould I stop attending, difference between me and you is I actually do attend, and as I go watch skolars and Oxford as well when I can go figure it out. Why would I stop watching my team?

mickyb With you on this point, some of us have been there since first game at Fulham, so why would we stop supporting?

The rumour doing the rounds at the Hive is that AK was offering a 10 year deal to play there, but DH et al weren't interested.
It's a rumour, so I can't prove it and have no knowledge of the terms allegedly on offer. But given our history, I wouldn't bet against it being true.

Ok the hive is not the best stadium or location in london, but if we were given a 10 year deal then that would be some stability and stop the rumour mill for at least 5 years anyhow.

But it's all rumours so let's see what happens eh
