Loads of parking direct at ground and in opposite field 

[John Drake]

I'll be there, doing a bit of (club approved) leafleting before the match on behalf of Rugby League World and League Express, to encourage you lovely lot to take out subscriptions.

Come and say hello if you spot me!

How would I get there by public transport? Could be tempted as I'll be in London tomorrow evening.

Kings Cross St Pancras Piccadilly line to Wood Green and either walk or get the bus a few stops.

Skolars lose 60-0 at home to Doncaster in what is usually their biggest home game of the season on the Friday before the Challenge Cup. Been an awful season. Think most of the club will just want it to finish now

Terrible result. Was the crowd half decent anyway?

[Rene_Artois]

We were pretty good to be honest. Our halves were excellent. Vete and Boas were on forn. Didn't really have a cha6

Wasn't there so not sure of the crowd. Not a Skolars fan but was hoping they'd put on a good show tonight. Doncaster showed some vulnerability losing to Midlands and Crusaders recently so thought Skolars would at least keep it close 

[Anita Bath]

And london now got three away games in an 8 day stretch at Hunslet, Rochdale and North Wales. Good luck to them, they really deserve a medal for sticking with it through a very difficult season.

Hi. Where has the team been in the tough games that mattered please?

I really hope Skolars don’t go the same way as West Wales.

They were supposed to be getting new owners and investment during the season - that has all gone quiet.

Me too. Not only do we need a second club in London, regardless of their ability, but their loss would call into question as to how viable League one would be with only 9 clubs.
