oh dear. expected but sad. what chance do they realistically have of surviving now.

"London Broncos have announced their intention to go into administration.
The Super League side have not yet secured a venue for their home games next year, and have also seen a raft of players and backroom staff leave the club this off-season.
And after being included in next season's fixture list, they have asked lawyers to appoint administrators.
"This will allow 10 working days for the club to work with the Rugby Football League," a statement said.
"[It] will prevent any creditor from taking action against the club in this period."

Only 5 players on the books? Doesn't look good for them

Perhaps this is the only way they have to find a buyer who may be interested once the club is debt free.
I hope they do find a buyer, RL & SL needs a club in the capital IMO.

Such a shame how things are going. They looked good back in the day when they based their club around being an Aussie home from home for players and fans. They did need to develop more English talent though and have done that but it's cost them that identity and support they had from London based Aussies/Kiwis.

They need some investment, a new home (Brentford always seemed good to me) and a balance between the two.

Enough is enough. Championship at best. No ground, only 5 players and now administration. Give Fev a chance for 12 months

Can't see how any Championship club could get themselves ready for Superleague with only 10 weeks till the start of the season.
London should have done the decent thing and resigned at the end of last season.

Surely Leigh? Better Stadium and facilities and it would even up the number of clubs on either side of the Pennines. (Would be more beneficial to Wigan as well regarding away support at the DW).

That said, a settled London club with 'Koucash' style owner would be a hundred times better than any Championship club coming up, doesn't look good though.

It's been coming for a while this, the Players were told about 2 Months ago they were all free to look for other clubs. Surely the RFL must have known.

Time to stop the impossible task of having a London based team...been tried before and failed every time.

How many chances are they going to get? They've been a basket-case almost from the start (with few & far between high points). More than beyond time for the RFL to admit it just won't work. Enough is enough.

no championship club will want to replace London for 2014 unless they are given an assurance by the RFL that they will also be in super league for 2015 as well. They wont have time now to recruit players, they would all be better off preparing to get the squad in place for the promised promotion place that will exist in 2015...

The Magic weekend will be a complete farce as someone is going to be gifted 2 points by either playing a very poor London, a replacement Championship club or no-one at all...

Surely the only thing to do is about it is announce that the team at the bottom of the league as at the last round before magic gets the "london" fixture.

Presumably the RFL have been too busy with the RLWC2013 to see this coming and try and help!

Relegate them to the championship and simply dont replace them. give everyone a bye week

so somebody gets a nice rest before going into the play offs? notably Leeds, their opponents in round 24

luck of the drawer
