So prey tell, is this a pit village that is a set of traffic lights between Cas and Wakey? Or a small town near Bradford?

Just what RL needs another couple of M62 slip road teams.

If this is the RFLs plan B then the game will be dead in 20 years, it is on its knees as it is without more narrow minded professional Northerners involved.

Set of lights between ponte and Wakey you mean.
london replaced Rovers in the top flight in 96 in those years you have had 20+ million out of the game more than Rovers a Rovers that averaged 4800 at the time. You have still no home ground, still no where near 4800 fans and you beat us 24-12 and were allowed more foreign players in your team. The RFL need to ask themselves was it worth it ?????

The attendances aren't key but they do reflect spending power. London's income is very small and this means that for them to flex their wallet, they need a very generous backer. Fev have higher income and lower costs, their backer doesn't need to be quite so generous.

I think for me the key is that non-SL clubs continue to dream the dream. In inviting an unfashionable club like Fev into the top ranks (even if they don't last very long), we allow fans of other unfashionable clubs to buy into the idea that their club might also do the same. Something that is vital for the health of the game.

featherstone Rovers are 1 of the most famous clubs in the country sunshine, all us as fans want is the RFL to finally respect there own respect and diversity campaigns and treat all clubs fairly and stop the geographical discrimination, the fact we are a small town should be irrelevant we have and will earn the right to play in the top flight something london never have

I think you need to get the chip off your shoulder. And is this the Featherstone Rovers, one of the most famous clubs in the country, that had to re-name their stadium after a Radio 1 DJ to get more attention? Give us a break. No one cares on this board.

Brilliant marketing that was, advertising our games on national radio for free, the fools running your club should of thought of it. ow and i wont give 2 shiiiiites when you fold sunshine, and neither will a lot of other people now should the Skolars fold that would be a different matter they have had nothing handed to them on a plate done it the hard way like us, good luck to them

It may be a myth that the RFL have done hundreds of favours for Broncos but it is undeniable that geography got London into SL in the first place. I'm not sure what else you could call that.
