Oh Dear nothing we didn't expect but it looks like they will be looking for another RL bail out to me, its hard anyway without this, to understand how they can manage with hardly any players. www.newsnow.co.uk/A/680668653?-4338:2393

This has to, lamentably, be the last straw.

time to say goodbye.

It is sad to see a SL club up the creek.... but what is the point in them fulfilling the 2014 season with no players no ground tbf no fans. The RFL should use this next season to let a team each week have the weekly round off as they do in the NRL. Also give the team the 2 points what would have been on offer the squad would get a break twice in the weekly rounds. Its going to be there last season anyway even if the RFL pump them with cash to keep them afloat. Pretty pointless if they do that the money could go to another area maybe swinton or youth rugby.

Like this idea, only one game over the Easter period for us

Many people up north consider London to be a waste of money, but having had dealings with the club (when they were Harlequins), I always found them very accommodating towards other grass-root development clubs, and I know they have put an immense amount of work in laying the foundations for rugby league in the London area. Sadly, it finally looks like they have run out of steam at SL level.

Sad but based on recent events it seemed inevitable.

I think its more likely we'll play a team twice at home, the clubs won't want to lose a home fixture. Especially us who play them on Easter Monday where we'd expect to see a bigger than usual gate.

as for London, about time they went, they've been a joke ever since they became Harlequins and the already small fan-base has dwindled. The RFL would be better spending money on helping clubs down South develop organically. Crusaders for example seem to be doing better living within their means in Championship1 than they did in SL, and have built a solid fan-base in Wrexham. Fans would rather see a winning team in a lower league than a struggling SL side being hammered every week.

That would mean we only have one game over the Easter period

Although that won't happen because of the magic weekend. Everyone would play London twice but one team plays them a third time in Manchester. you could have a team from the championship take their place and then the championship teams get 2 weeks off.

Time to draw a line under this "experiment" once and for all.

There's been far too much money wasted on them. If they are to restart, do it with grass-roots, not tired old Aussies and huge earners. Lets face it, they've had to exist on away support which, more often than not, outnumbers the home fans.

A Cumbrian team deserves a chance now.

confirmation, and still no response to PM's claiming all knowledge. Bless

which cumbrian team would take the step up and where would they get the finances from?


step up Toulouse haha

Obvious this was going to happen, should have been resolved at end of last season which could of allowed time for a Championship club to step in. Featherstone have been vocal that they were prepared to replace London if this scenario happened, but not sure how it would work with Fev or any other club, would they be prepared to step in when in all likelihood they would face immediate relegation?

Don't suppose the clubs will be too bothered as they will get a bigger slice of the Sky money, but for fans this would devalue the season pass if we lose a home game.

13 teams works in SL with a by for each club on their home and away fixtures but it cocks up Magic W/End which can't work with 13 teams

"Bless"?

Are you 10 years old?
