As I'm sure everyone does so long as nothing's rushed and they're not treated as a special case. |

Will be interesting to see how many Crusaders fans that were willing to travel to Wrexham will now get their fix nearer to home rather than follow the freak show.
Best of luck to them.

So this time they are going to be taken in slow and not given outrageous advantages designed to sky rocket them into a tier they are not ready for? I sincerely hope so.
Bring them down to the Stobarts.
Just another victim!

Word!
Also from BBC:
"Meanwhile, Harlequins will play the new-look Crusaders in a pre-season friendly in aid of the Jon Wells testimonial, with the match taking place will be played at Rosslyn Park on 16 January."
Hope Mr Wells enjoys the £10 Primark voucher! |

Hopefully SWRLFC (quite aptly named, btw) will be given time to grow naturally. There's no shame if they fail, but if South Wales does desire and warrant a SL franchise, time will tell. It has to be at least a ten-year plan if they want to set their sights on SL.

I think the Widnes club have been hard done by. Crusaders should lose their franchise. The whole reason for their entry into SL was to tap into the traditional rugby support in the valleys of South Wales. To move to North Wales nearly into your back yard is a disgrace.

By all accounts Quins have been told to get their bums in gear RE: crowds to keep their franchise. We shall see. |

..Basically,your correct......Its been a difficult job promoting RL in London.....It still seems more a case of people down here being unaware that there is a Harlequins League side as well as the rah-rahs ..Our newish CE is a guy called Paul Blanchard and he seems to have a few irons in the fire ..We have got some good (excellent maybe) sponsors on board this year and with some decent marketing we hope to push on this year....As for the Vikings...I have family who live and play league in Widnes so I hope you get your wish, as it is well deserved and get back into super league as soon as possible...not at our expense though..

By all accounts there's big chunck of London that loves rugby league but they'd rather stop at home or go to the pub and watch it TV. Would you say this is correct?
On another note, I don't think anyone has mentioned the story on LastTackle.com about SL being made the be all and end all by the RFL and questions what we have to play for. SOC and Widnes are mentioned as a point.

A load of garbage , they use the football as an example of what it should be , ie clubs happy to be in it
The only clubs that want to be in the footy Championship are the clubs in league 1 , all the championship clubs want to be in the premiership |

They should never have given up the name 'London'. People can identify with that.
