We've no one to blame but ourselves. It's irrelevant who has gone up and in what circumstances. If your last game of the season isn't a win, no one remembers you.

1st part of that statement bang on.  Last part bang on.. Bit in middle couldn't disagree more.

I'm a bit mixed with this one.  I take your point but I think I would have rather seen Toulouse go up.  I think it will take longer to accept that London have just got promoted.  London ?  How the hell did it happen.  I think any one of the top 9 now might just be looking at the play off results and thinking it could have been them.   

Yep️

Just shows the farce of a competition where the team who finished 6th losing 11 games gets promoted on winning 3 games. Shows what a tinpot sport it has become.

Would have been different if the team who won wasn’t London though?

London have beaten Toulouse 3 times, Batley at their ground Gev at their ground, Sheffield twice at their ground… shall I go on? Early on in season there were many near misses including Halifax with a yellow card and penalty when Paratta was pulled back from a leyland kick under the sticks - defo try which should have been awarded so let’s just be happy with the outcome and know that when it came to it, London didn’t choke as other clubs did

I notice in your post W that you did not mention that Fev put 90 points past you in the season. Yes when it mattered you did beat us but there is 2 sides to a story.

I like many Fev fans have great that London deserved promotion. But let’s not milk it mate.

No to me it’s the principle that the best team over 27 games that should be promoted irrespective of who it is.
