Fans generate income, don't you think that's more important,

I think relagation could be the best thing for them. It will allow them a bit more stability in the lower league and also the opportunity to win some games and grow their support base naturally and allow the London youngsters the opportunity to develop. For this to happen they need to stop being nomadic and get a permanent home and put down some long lasting roots in one area.

I dont think that SL will miss the broncos if/when they are relegated, clubs will be happy for another home game from a team with more than 5 traveling fans.

The grass roots in London is good and needs preserving but the Broncos themselves are doing more harm than good down there. The club has been a basket case for so long they have become an embarrassment, moving around like nomads, playing in front of pitiful crowds and getting beaten heavily every week. They have become a laughing stock and as the focal point for the game in the south it is harming the superleague brand. They need to drop down and start again, re-building the club from the bottom up.

That has to be the answer; I haven't seen any official figures, but junior participation is reported to be good and there are smaller clubs in the vicinity doing well.

It would be much more sensible to go down, focus attention on developing the game from the bottom up and build something sustainable for the long term.

Meanwhile, if we want to develop the game, grow it in a stepping stone way from the heartlands outwards; South Yorkshire, East Midlands, the North East - there are already community clubs in all those areas doing the hard yakka, so the foundations are in place.

The going down bit will prob be the only option open to London. I have said for ages they should look at making Hemel /St Albans the area to operate from, Barnrt aint that far out. Back to page one in many respects, wish them all the best. I just think relegation could be the final nail, hope not.

The grass roots in London keeps getting a mention, but no kid is going to want to play for a team that gets tonked week in week out. The best thing that could happen for London is to drop at least a division, build a competitive team one capable of winning matches. If they start winning the people will start to take interest. They have no local derby to speak of, a team winning games will be easier to market and therefore attract attention.

So for the argument,does London deserve to be in Super League? The answer is yes they do, but on merit not just because some out of touch bureaucrat has a pipe dream. Instead of the RFL pumping money into a bottomless pit the should look to establish a split Championship 1 with a North and South divisions. There are already the London Skolars, Hemel Stags, Gloucester, Oxford and (possibly) South Wales with routes into the championships and eventually Super League. That would be a league with more 'derbies' which given the right exposure would start to expand the support base.
