as a Broncos fan, it would be nice to have some players to interview

I'd take the 2012 season. The 2015 Season is the one I fear will hapen again. Still shudder from some of those games,. Hunslet anyone

This Three gold member season ticket holders for 20 years at London, are now 3 regulars at Guildford Flames Ice Hockey (actually 4 as my american wife comes to the hockey). I don't see us going back to RL now, we have found our sunday sporting fix. And I cannot remember the last SL game I watched on sky. I think it was England v Tonga third test was the last game I watched on TV

He could have made the announcment at the start of the season. As for a while it looked like Hull would finish bottom, and by now we might have investors. Although tbh I doubt it

Everyday that goes past just shows more and more the stupidty of playing all of thse games in the same places year on year.

seriously just play Aus at LSV, Odsal and at York. Oh wait York is more than 20 miles from M62, LSV, Odsal and Doncaster

Sorry catching up on this thread. Wigan RL capacity is about 25K correct? So we cannot even sell out a 25K stadium in the "Heartlands", and are reduced to free tickets?

This very unlikely I will go to any games next year, (if there are any games), but might buy a membership just to donate the money to the club. I've spent money on more stupid things in my life.

I'd argue they would be better the Hull FC was based on last year

I remember having words with a certain "Man of Kent" that moving from Ealing to Wimbledon and going PT at the same time was insanity beyond madness. And was told I was a doommonger (amongst other things). Not seem Him for a couple of years, maybe he has a couple of Million in Dons shares he could sell and fund the broncos

Now if Russell Crowe decided to donate 200K to help save the London broncos I would imagine that would get column inches in the Daily Mail (and god forbid maybe even the Times and Torygraph). But probably more chance of Elvis popping up out of the grave / alongisde Jim Morrison and Jimmy Hoffa and all combining to buy out the Las Vegas NFL franchise

Fully agree with you but like it or loath it, if you want attention an a national level, you need a presence in London. So until RL realises this, you not going to change anything. this is not defending the DM. I would not use that paper for fuel on a bonfire if I was freezing, as I would not want to smell the stench it would release as it burned as its that full of s**** this is also not wanting the broncos to have special treatment either. Is a simple fact. The only way you change this is with having a presence and having RL things happening in London

Also are the playing at Wimbledon next year? I was not sure if that was still the plan, assuming by some miracle they have enough players to actually put out a side. There is no Skolars side they can gut this time

Also I don't see how you solve this either. Even though I think the superleague as an organisation is a Joke, the top 5 or 6 clubs in superleague can match the Aussie club teams IMHO. On the field the gap is not that big (if you exclude Hull FC), off the field its the size of the Pacific

The bottom line is that for the NRL, the pinnacle of the club game is winning the grand final. Thats it. For the SuperLeague the WCC is seen as the pinnacle game, as thne your world champions For the NRL is just a pre-season warm up game. Sums up how the NRL and the Aussies see SL. Yes we might beat them every year, but that does not change the perception that the NRL has of the NH and superleague in general. And you need to change that perception somehow if you want Penrith et al to treat the WCC seriously
