More cas fans than Broncos, do they really belong in super league,

More posts than bronco points!!!!!!!

Trigger finger,

Having supported Trinity 40 odd yrs and knowing what it is like to be in the mire, I take no pleasure at all in saying no, London do not belong in th SL. The RFL insistence in a piped deam of expansion to areas with little affinity for the game leaves those involved in the club and the game itself, embarrassed. 120 yrs of evidence says that the League code is for the North of England. Many have tried and many have wasted their time and money. We were pushing on an open door in Catalans, the one exception, but a different country and kettle of fish. If expansion can occur it is by degrees. We had it in Sheffield. Spurious mergers wrecked that. We could have edged by a few miles from Sheffield to Mansfield to Nottingham...perhaps. But remote satellites in London and Wales have a long, long, depressingly familiar pattern of failure. It is time to say enough and face facts...this is a Northern game in the UK and why why why is that a problem?!!

Have to agree. It's time to stop seeing London as the be all and end all for expansion and focus on growing the game step by step from its roots.

Coming bottom is the only reason to be relegated.

Not poor crowds

More often than not the two coincide. London will finish bottom this season.

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

I feel really sorry for Tony Rea, he must be a glutton for punishment, he just keeps coming back for more!
I rate him as a coach, would like to see what he does with a team that is not constantly in turmoil.

Absolutely spot on mate, do it by degrees and we have a chance. I noticed tonight the first cracks appearing in the sky commentary team when it came to Londons future in the game.
On the subject of Sheffield the year thy won the cup they knocked Cas out in a game played at wheldon road. that saturday at about kick off time we found ourselves in a little place called grindleford which is about 8 miles below sheffield. We rushed into a pub and asked in the bar if he would put the rugby on saying it was cas playing sheffield. Not one single person in that bar knew that sheffield had a rugby league team. That says to me a bad neglection by the marketing team.

It is for the club but not for their league position.
That's the whole point of franchising and we have moved away from it.

It's the same for us. Should we be relegated because we don't have a sparkling new stadium?

years ago clubs would have come to the rescue and assisted the club in some way.our games become very selfish. i dont want to see any club go to the wall.i hope the club can kick on at its new location.

Think Jon Wells made a good point about the game in London the other week.
When they were under the Harlequins name, they were going into schools and showing kids the basics of RL and getting them interested.
The teachers thought it was great and took a real interest but thought their next game was at home to Gloucester.
The RL side was doing the RU PR for them because they had lost their identity.
That is one thing that has come to light, how many other poor marketing ideas have been used?

As a Wakey fan, and proud as I am of my club, I see nothing to suggest that we should be poking fun at fellow clubs, SL, Championship or whatever. We are lucky to be here and have the ownership and structure that we do!

I see London as an important area for RL, and perhaps the litmus test for the games success in the future. Unfortunately this current club has had more than its share of problems and has not found the right format for future success. Ironically, I can see them having a bright future if they can build in their new location. Being close the M1, north of the City and with a ground which was good for supporters to watch, it can go down and e-build and come back fitter and stronger. The money to the junior development must be maintained though, or that would be a waste.
