Surely having a new name on the trophy is a better look for the sport than another Saints/Wigan GF? The latter might draw a bigger crowd, but it will do nothing for the sport in the long run.

That's what was said last time, but we only just went down with 10 wins. I don't see another 2014 on the horizon. It would be a struggle, but I think we'd put up more of a fight.

Usually clubs relay the pitches in the summer. If we did go up, hopefully we don't play in the North any of our 'home' games. The dream would be a game or two at Fulham, probably never happen, but there are plenty of stadiums in London. But I would try the odd 'on the road' game in Colchester, MK or Woking perhaps.

There's always been great potential, but it's never been harnessed correctly. If only we had an Eric Perez of our own on board. I'm surprised he's never thought about London tbh. Southend were recently bought out by an Aussie, surely London could have as much potential if we could get similar backers.

Yeah I meant in the advent of promotion.

Sponsorship, tv money and bigger crowds from promotion would mean he wouldn't.

Maybe promotion could attract new investors? There must be a few Aussie billionaires out there who could spare a few quid?

I wouldn't be so certain of a French qualification, especially as Italy, Ireland and Scotland will be full of heritage players. I think there needs to be a minimum of 8 homegrown players in the 24 man squads to make it fair. Otherwise it just becomes a breeze for the Cook Islands.

And with the majority of our squad being homegrown too.

We went to Toronto and won, we went to Fev and won, we can go to Toulouse and win. Come on London!

....and breathe! Thought we were gonna throw it away there at the end. Great result, only 80 mins from a return to SL can't quite believe it! Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!

Hearts and Rangers in Div 1, whilst Celtic stroll to another title...

Ha, some of those names in the squad there.
