My curiosity is why London felt the need to include such a comment in their submission. It must be aimed at someone/something.

It's because they share your obsession, and jealousy of the Leigh Centurions, hence your comment >> is this a subtle shot at the gobsh1te owner at Leigh? This is not at all necessary owd lad. Just remember, this gobsh1te owner of Leigh you talk about, has just donated £7,000 + another £2,000 today to the Kev Sinfield ,Rob burrow MND cause. I think you need a good sit down pal.

Its not just Hughes though. Bradford's big money backer has also been noticeably quiet during this whole bid process. Mind you that's because there isn't one.

It would be suicidal for any Championship club to take on what is being asked without insurances of no relegation.

Col, there will be P&R next season.....up to now anyway. At the end of next season, we will have the new Sky TV deal for 2022. It's anyone's guess whether the structure will change for the 2022 season. Personally,I think we (Leigh) have done enough with our application to get that 12th spot,however, I think Bradford will nick it. I've said all along, that i'm quite happy to EARN a place in SL on the field.

Unless some of these clubs know different. Why apply?

It’d be great to get a team in Sunderland going.

According to the General Manager of Newcastle Thunder (Jordan Robinson) there is a team at the moment called Newcastle Magpies who play in black and white and there are plans to create a Sunderland side obviously in red and white to recreate that rivalry. This is at amateur level though.

So bitter.

I wonder what it is like being a little London fan ? I mean, it must smart a bit, knowing that despite being gifted a Super League Licence over & over again & despite great support from the RFL & despite moving like nomads from place to place & depsite changing your name like a failed corner shop, over & over again, & despite being one of the weakest teams year after year, little London still can't attract a thousand home fans & play on a college campus out of a marquee !

It must really chafe, knowing that the people of Greater London just don't want Rugby League in London & it must embarrass you that, despite year after year of being the protected b@$tard child of the RFL & SLE, little old London is still a much smaller club than Oldham, Rochdale, Whitehaven, Barrow or Batley would have been had they had a Hughes, a protected Licence & the collective support of the RFL & SLE behind them ?
