Totally different culture there, former players live in the area and attend games, they reminise about the past as do supporters who meet up socially. schools play the game, there are amateur teams and clubs, sports and social clubs who support the club.. The club is woven into the fabric of the community. Totally different culture. Large squad, more staff, better wages higher motivated players, more proffessional set up and not run like a millitary junta by one bloke.
I'm sure London can one day aspire to be like this or something similar. One day there will be standing room only and a trip to see London Broncos will be the " hottest ticket in town".
