I think when most people (well, me anyway) mention your status in Super League it's more that you get no fans whatsoever and don't actually seem to have a solid footing than your performances. You've been rebranded on three or four occasions since the start of Super League and have had more homes than a family of travellers.

Firstly, well done London, great result for you guys.

If it had been an olympic event, Wire would have been disqualified and sent home.

Have they bought the game into disrepute ?

Did you not see McMeekin, Krasniqui, Bolger, Dixon, Caro, O'Callaghan on the pitch last night (not forgetting Sargeson and Clubb who are injured). Does this not tend to indicate given they all have come through the youth programme that their may be a "solid footing" of RL in the south



What sort of crowds are other underperforming teams like Cas, Reds etc getting? What in your mind is the acceptable crowd?

And Lovell

6k is acceptable

8-10k is good

10k plus is great



That's what I think any top division prof RL club should be measured on.



Sub 3k has no place in a top flight competition IMO unless there is clear signs and plans of how it will be quickly grown.

This has the old - HRFC want to put the rent up lets say we are talking to Brentford etc etc and see if we can get the rent dropped.

Blimey, change the record.



Well done London, that's a great result last night and things seem to be moving the right way under Tony Rea.



Let's hope you find a ground-Brisbane Rd preferably in my opinion, but a proper 'home' and people will soon start watching a winning team, which you will get if you keep Tony Rea and keep spending the salary cap.

With the right ground, the right coach and the right marketing London could be a real success with 10k crowds and a competitive team.

Agreed, hope it happens.



They've got the team and coach now in my opinion.



Marketing and a ground and they won't be far off.

For the sake of a balanced argument, although you have never finished in a relgation place, it is also true that you never finished in a promotion place. So, if you can be elevated to SL on such terms, then you should also be able to be removed from SL even if you don't finish in a relgation spot. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Strictly speaking none of the SL1 teams were promoted into it, they were all foundation clubs invited to join a brand new league that had not existed before. Now some people may believe we should not have been invited to join, but that's a different argument, and people could decide to level it against any other SL foundation club, with different levels of justification of course.



Having my cake, and eating it, thank you very much.

Strictly speaking, you are wrong.
