It was never going to work playing in the shadow of Twickenham. Even the Harlequins re-brand to appeal to the union lot was a disaster.

I'm interested to see what the RFL will do to resurrect their London fantasy. As nice as it would be to have a thriving London team in Super League, the brutal truth is it's not working and as long as Union has a strangle hold down there it never will.

You couldnt give Catalan 3 bye games as they would be a game down or just be given an auto 2 points?

Realistically Fev have 17 full timers on the books and could easily be thrown into SL last minute

It would have to be offered to Sheffield first as they won the grand final, then Batley as they were in the final, then Fev who were league leaders

I'd love to know how an administrator can sell a club like London with a straight face.
Most clubs in SL are propped up to some extent or another, but London!!
Is love to here their sales pitch!!

Sheffield, Batley or Fev being in would a least boost a few attendances, local derbys, bragging rights etc. The London experiment has never worked. Its a dead rubber financially as attendences are low and travelling support both ways is minimal. The rest of the game as been subsidising this experiment for too long. I still think London will be bailed out in some form or another, but looking at the bigger picture Rugby League would be better building solid foudations in its heartlands. A strong team in Cumbria is far more attractive in the SL and it has a long history within the game.

Each team to be awarded the 2 points on their bye week. Its not as if the Magic weekend is fair as it stands and with the team London could've cobbled together it would've been highly likely that a Dragons victory would be on the cards anyway.

Im not convinced that the RFL will let the London club be demoted, admin or not.
I can see an admin, then a buy out by maybe the guy from Barnet, then business as usual, playing out of the Barnet sports village.

Not sure how that could be the case after we were told that administration would result in automatic relegation and starting again in championship 1.

Like I said it will be interesting to see what transpires. Much confusion on the Broncos forum as they've always been told there is no debt beyond the owner. If this is the case why go into administration? Perhaps its a high risk strategy to force the RFL's hand on the dispensation's the Broncos want.

I hope our chairman is keeping tabs on London's situation and if they are given yet more dispensation, will be making waves at red hall.

Maybe this paves the way for a second French team to be allowed in?

Oh joy. Another reduced attendance for everyone.

Not what I would want, just knowing how the rfl work my suggestion as to what might happen

It would be more or less like for like.

If a French team were to replace London, it wouldn't be that much of a reduction in crowd for the home game really.

Telling us, who to be fair have been close to falling over on more than one occasion one thing and then telling London another would not be beyond the realms of possibility.
