| Quote gutterfax="gutterfax"First up....how are the links to the "extra" payments and "protection from relegation" coming along?
The Skolars are competitive now...they weren't as little as 5 years ago when they were winning 1 game a season. The reason for this? That's right...the development work done by the London SL side.
As for who's fault it is...I say it is 50/50 blame between incompetent management and ownership at the club and the RFL and other SL clubs......as for marketing, if we did any I'd be better placed to judge on potential interest, but when the RFL marketed the WCC warm up game, we got 7,500+ to see Manly...when we did 2-4-1 beers v Leeds we got 6,500. The debate is who should pay for the team and market it when the only real beneficiaries are the game itself?
If most people had your attitude of "we tried, it didn't work, let's forget it" we'd all be speaking German now.
Don't forget now...links to the "extra payments" and "protection from relegation"....there's a good chap
Oh...Perth. Perth will be in the NRL within 10 years and will average between 12k and 16k....the southern states aren't interested, but Perth, Brisbane ii, Central coasts and NZ II will all be part of the comp within 15 years....with proper expansion.
Melbourne were on extra cash for 18 years and the other NRL clubs didn't whine, but you northern monkeys cry like babies because "you think" London get extra cash but you can't prove it...
'"
What the hell has the war got to do with this debate you are also bringing in the game in Australia to justify you argument also did I say that there WAS extra payments? I said we don't know what clubs get from who as money can be hidden under any name as an income its easy to do and not just London do it!
You will not agree will you if I say its black you will say its white, if I say its day you will say its night.
The thing is despite several rich businessmen putting their money into London Broncos, trying to get established at different parts of the city, different names to appeal to new fans and extra 'help' from the RFL by allowing more Aussie players and come on you and I both know that London would never have been allowed to be relegated be honest your club has gone bust, end of story!
I suppose its our fault as well is it???

| I read the League Freak article back in July when it was first posted.
London aren't alone in not been a feasible sports business. Many other SL clubs are a way off. If Koukash walked at Salford, Ken Davy left Huddersfield, or even Moran pulling the plug at Warrington they'd all be in trouble.

Part quote from the link.
"The Rugby Football League has tipped a lot of money into the London Broncos over the years.
Millions of pounds.
They handed this club advantages other clubs did not receive."
"The Rugby Football League invested the sports money into this club and now it's all gone."
end.
Proof enough?
All clubs were protected from relegation as under the license system it didn't exist so no link needed for that.
Thank you for the insults.
I find the reference to "monkeys" when allied to sport particulary distasteful.

| Hey my last say on this I would like RL to expand across Britain but it won't its been tried and tried and failed so like I say lets just concentrate on its strengths which should be in its heartlands but the tinkermen at the top and greedy selfish club chairmen have ruined our game.

Some people after giving the big lecture type posts just can't accept the facts, nothing will ever be proof for them, but it won't change what happened and what is happening now.
"NM's"
Of course but if you took time to read my post instead of rushing to laugh at others and gain the self satisfaction from your own perceived smartness whilst implying others are thick you may see the irony.
The point was, insults, reference to monkeys on a publis sports forum "hardly" fits in with the theme of the topic and will lend no support to the London Broncos or RL in general.
Do you normally talk to others in public like that all the time?
What is happening to the LB club is "hardly" funny in any context.

| I had dinner with Nigel Wood last night. He told me that the RFL had transferred over £4m to London Broncos over a six year period. I taped the conversation without his knowledge. I'll DM you for your email address so I can send you the audio file.
