Have announced intention to appoint administrators within 10 days

It will be interesting to see what will happen to them. I believe Trinity were told they would be demoted if they had gone into administration when AG and JE wanted to shed the debt they'd run up.

In one respect its a shame but not a surprise. Goes to show that the London experiment needs more than a wealthy owner. Known for some time it was likely to fold. For me they have played at too many venues, and should have concentrated on playing near the east end. I work in London and when we played them last season it took me 3 hours to get to the game from the Ilford area.

So that's one down for next season

Very sad for RL but is understandable with the support they receive, I see Doncaster Rovers is buying the the rugby club and hopes to generate some support from the football fans, could be the way to go for them

Sad for London Broncos.

Don't want to sound mercenary but get Michael Witt signed up from them and that's our half back problem sorted.

you just have
Shame on you

I await the RFL statement on this one with baited breath.

Hasn't he already left. They've only got six players.

Shame, London fans though few in number are loyal and deserved better.

This.

Its a shame but sadly no surprise. Not great timing ahead of the world cup semi finals at wembley though.

I would've expected the RFL to come to their rescue for at least one season to save an embarrassing gap in the fixture list, but it seems a bit late for that now with nowhere to play and only 6 players on the books.

It's a great shame - with the right people in charge, it could have been a roaring success.

If they do implode, I hope for their own sake that Fev or Fax aren't catapulted into SL.

IF they go into admin and get demoted (or worse), what happens to the SL fixtures for next season
With the Magic Weekend, SL needs an even number of teams in the league for the fixture programme to work.

The admin situation isn't really a surprise, given that the London club just isn't sustainable with the apathy of the support base down south but, the grassroots game has grown exceptionally well over the past few years and hopefully they can find a solution.

The lack of a settled home venue certainly hasn't helped them and even though the Stoop is a "nicer" ground than Brentford, the locals are just not interested.

A bye round should be introduced. Most teams will get two, Catalans will get three.
