According to Rammo on twitter. If we do have a club in SL next season he thinks at the moment all we will have is 6 players signed up from last years squad. One of those he thinks is Krasniqi. I'm hoping we can keep him and Dollapi. May not be household names to all, but at least I feel they will give 100% for us.

If this is the case then I'm with a few others here in that if we have to go cap in hand to other clubs and rely on loaners how is that going to make for a successful team for next year. What I mean is these clubs could call players back as when they feel like it. They wont give us their best lower squad players. so how could the club or the coach build a team who get use to playing together week in and week out if in danger of one leaving one week with maybe another arriving in time for the following weeks game. which was happening lest season along with those big names not playing to their full potential.

Does anyone here think that we could wait for the RLWC to scout players for the club and see if can pick up some bargains there. I think I read some where its what the Bulls and Wakey might be thinking of doing too.

Im quite excited about the prospect of a complete squad revamp if it happens. However last minute and rushed.

Like Tre, I disagree strongly with Perry.

Speaking as a proud Londoner, one of the main things that appealed to me when i first started watching the Broncos, was the fact that they represented the whole of London.

I loved supporting THE London team then, and I still do.

In a nutshell!

Paris St Germain do ok being called 'Paris'. Ditto 'Madrid' and 'Milan'.

Don't Washington Redskins play in a different state due to the racial nature of their nickname? I read that the local authorities wouldn't let them build a stadium in Washington unless they changed their name so now they play in Maryland? But are still called Washington.

Washington DC isn't a state, the DC means "district of columbia" i.e. it is part of the state of Maryland.

Milan is also the Anglicised version of Milano.

To be pedantic, Italian cities tend to have one local name in the local dialect and one name in Italian. The "Anglicised" names are usually just the way that the locals say the city name.

That's not correct it's not in Maryland. its a Federal district and not in any state.

I always thought using the name London appealed to a larger supporter base across the capital.

Re: Who is to blame? : Tue Sep 24, 2013 6:41 pm  

Utter nonsense to suggest that the name has anything to do with it.

Re: Who is to blame? : Tue Sep 24, 2013 6:55 pm  

I agree that the name has nothing to do with the state of our club (it's the least of our problems, imo).

I do like supporting a team that represents the whole of the Capital though...I quite like the feeling of us against the world (well, the M62 corridor anyway).

I don't think anyone has said it is the main cause, but one of a very long list.
