I was at a meeting where Rimmer was speaking on the weekend before he commenced his job with the RFL , he stated at that meeting that SKY would not be interested in Rugby League without London.
That is a contradiction really as IF there was so much interest in RL in the London area the Broncos would have bigger crowds than the 1800 or so they get now - that includes away fans too so my guess is around 1500 hardcore fans tops. Sadly it is time to stop feeding this myth that the game of RL can expand into areas which are not traditional RL areas (Catalans is in traditional RL territory), remember these are crowds in SL not the Championship before anybody starts picking on our crowds plus there are hardly any away fans in our league!
Let London find their natural level which might be in the Championship, I am not against new clubs just the favoritism they get and this obsession with putting them above traditional heartland clubs cos they are 'sexier' and attract more Sky viewers, really?
