Hmm, see what you mean about training ground feel. However, for national teams like Brazil & Germany to use it as training bodes well. Room for real growth at that ground. A really good set up with immense potential.

Someone should get the nurse to up your meds

Na, placebos are enough. But thanks for the concern Dr. GF.

It's not a bad ground and would be fine for the Championship, however, not SL standard.

But is there a scenario that will see London Bronco's able to play in the Championship?

We probably won't have much choice after this season. Championship or bust.

Depends if you're still prepared to sit there and take whatever the "Club" dishes out, or maybe try and make a difference - get involved in the SupporTers association - and perhaps we can get ourselves in a position to make some real choices.

Wait until we play Cas a week Thursday!! 500 at most

What's the lowest ever home crowd since 1980, including at Crystal Palace, Barnet, etc? Can anyone recall?



The reason I ask is that I can easily forsee a 500 or less gate soon. Given the additional TV money, growth of the game in London and the SE, positive TV coverage over the last 20 odd years the only conclusion one can draw if the club reverts to the sort of crowds it had in those shoe-string days is that it has been terribly mismanaged over a number of years.

I think it is 245 at Barnet Copthall vs Highfield in Feb '92. Even Gus will do well to be beat that.

Was the "world's best rugby player" playing for us then?



I used to enjoy the atmosphere at Crystal Palace myself in Crusaders days. After the early days at Fulham it was the best for me - there was a real heart and soul.

as long as the team keep losing attendances will fall. We have had dreadfull performances on the pitch these last two seasons but everyone thought 'next year we will bring in better players and we will get better.' With no relegation this can work with good carefull recruiting so supporters didn't despair at season end. This season however DH decided to get rid of the deadwood and start afresh which was fair enough. TR had we are told a good squad lined up for 2014 and then DH started to wobble and everything went on hold until he relented and decided to carry on. Result was all our targets had gone and we were left with Academy players and loans from other clubs academies which we have tried to build on with overeas signings dribbling in. The result has been we are nowhere near as strong as our opponents as the results have shown. In a season where we have a franchise we can get away with it but everyone knows the bottom two go down this season so there is no chance to repair the damage next year. The fans who normally would stick with the club are giving up hence the continuing decline. Unless the club can find some very good players very quickly we could see a record that will never be broken for SL attendance. maybe we should start calling it the 'Yorkshire Lancashire League' now?
