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

Advertising your games on national radio for free? I listened to the radio 1 DJ while he was on the radio, he must of mentioned it about 3 times, I'd hardly say it was advertising your games, but fine.

You really need to look into the story of our club, as yourself, just like others have fallen into the whole 'Broncos have been handed everything on a plate' line, as it is incorrect. We might of been put into SL back in 96, but since then we've had pretty much zero help from the RFL that other clubs haven't also received. London is still here because we have a sugar daddy that is putting his own money into the club year upon year, that's doing it the hard way. Again, I think you need to take that chip off your shoulder.

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.


But the whole problem of RL in this country is that it is stuck in 3 northern counties. It cannot attract sponsors or media partners with that portfolio. If you don't recognise it as a problem your are doomed to suffer because of it.

I have no beef with Rovers, they are a great club and it is a great RL village, but the game will die if it shrinks into its own comfort blanket.

Football is a national sport with a team in every city and town, RL is not. I don't personally believe that the Broncos currently constituted deserve a SL, spot by the way. So Rovers may get the spot by default, and if so good luck to them. I am more concerned with RL as a going concern on a national basis.

Re: Tough decisions : Tue Aug 20, 2013 8:16 pm  
Rovers in there hay day in the 70s had a following that had to be seen to be believed, dont be fooled by the pit village myth, there are 3 towns Ponte, Knottingley and fev that they pull considerable support from, we will do fine in the top flight no doubt about that. we have had hardly any funding from the RFL sinse 96 and yet have built 3 stands,while others given millions havent even had a lick of paint. we run an u19s with no funding from the RFL yet Huddersfield who get 100k to run theres gave rovers the game the other month unable to raise a team. The game needs a big shake up and we deserve our chance even in the licencing system

Re: Tough decisions : Tue Aug 20, 2013 8:19 pm  
I do not understand why some folks on here see this an an opportunity for a slanging match. Just stick to the facts - If Broncos fold or fail to exercise their SL franchise next season, then there's a door open and Fev are certainly knocking on it. If Broncos do enter SL next season, door is closed for a year after which there'll be a process in place.

"It's as simple as that."

Maybe the answer is to let London RL grow through the amateurs and the semi pro ranks and focus any ideas of expansion on France
