Sorry guys - it just has'nt worked out for you.
Time to let Fev into SL. 2,300 at Post Office Road yesterday for the visit of Barrow. They would pull in 3.5 to 4 thousand regularly in SL.

Largely due to the close proximity to all the other 'local' clubs. Its like a home game for most of them. There used to be a real buzz around The Stoop for away fans, and they would travel in numbers. No more, most know its going to be a one sided, souless affair, why waste their money on a 400 mile round trip (and that includes home fans too). Most of the hardcore Broncos fans don't live a stones throw from The Stoop and many are thinking the same as away fans, one sided, souless, pointless (literally !!).

If the RFL cared about those things they'd buy out David Hughes and run the London franchise centrally till things picked up.

If you think small you deserve to end up with Foxy Bingo.

Three of them would make more noise than us. Feel like most of us now just turn up for the last rights. What exactly is left to cheer about. Oh I suppose Buck and Dusty now having the sponsored kit snd the stock being in the shop is a positive.

Pity you don't have three like vastman, the noise would be heard in Essex.

As a supporter of Castleford Tigers I couldn't care less about the limited sponsorship of the game in general. The appeal of SL generating an additional 1,000 speccies far outweighs that IMO.

Your comment about mining makes me want your club out of SL even more than I did before. Thanks.

No evidence that Broncos are responsible for any of that especially since they have no presence in London.

We were told that Crusaders "added value" to SL but they pulled out of SL and the very next week Sky come in with an improved deal.

I'm sorry your club is going the way it is, but the comment about pits is out of order.

At some point the average RL spectator is going to realise that the RFL simply doesn't have the money to do this or any of the other things that get brought up from time-to-time. Spending money you don't have chasing the dream tends to end badly in any sport.

It's an ever decreasing circle though.

London is admittedly a busted flush but with only Catalan flying the flag outside the M62 corridor outmoded stereotypes can never be dispelled.

& that is damaging long term for Rugby League.
