Personally I think people who joke about and/or profit from this are scum.

My last post corrected with you in mind, GF.

Or are they going to pretend it never happened?

They may do, but I doubt the issue will disappear just because the data has from the net.
Gus needs to contact each ST holder directly or at least issue a statement on the broncos website.
If the ICO do get involved, then the club would need to demonstrate they have taken the issue seriously.

I won't hold my breath.

They happen about as often as Halley's comet makes an appearance in the solar system.

Only just seen all this - I can't find myself but I can find my mate on the list. Feeling a bit left out here.

Most upbeat RL article in the Dail Telegraph I have ever seen in the year review: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/10540363/Fond-farewells-and-drug-storms-how-sport-changed-in-2013.html Rugby League Portion Below: Rugby League The revolution was never going to happen overnight. But in years to come, rugby league may well look back on 2013 as the year it began to pour forth from its northern heartlands and charm the entire country. The World Cup was a resounding success, despite England’s elimination at the semi-finals, and lived up to its billing as a truly national event. Over 2.5 million people watched the heart-rending climax of England’s semi-final against New Zealand on the BBC - a higher audience than Sky Sports has managed for any football match so far this season. Not bad for a ‘fringe’ sport. A sense of perspective is, of course, necessary. The rugby league World Cup will be no match in size or scale for its union counterpart in 2015. The continuing troubles of London Broncos are a reminder that getting people to a big event is not the same as getting them to a small one. But from a loud and chilly Rochdale to a heaving, captivated Wembley, the 13-man game is starting to make inroads. Between 35 and 40 per cent of tickets – just under 200,000, all told - were sold in the Midlands and the south. If just a few of those folk decide to tune in for the new Super League season in February, then the World Cup organisers can satisfy in a job well done. And really, the old labels are becoming less and less relevant with each passing year. Like it or not, Britain is a more fluid, heterogeneous place than ever before. You can find Harvey Nichols in the north and Morrisons in the south. Stuart Lancaster loves league. Kevin Sinfield loves union. This year brought us closer to a point when league can stand or fall on its own visceral quality alone. Jonathan Liew
