Ah right, fair dues, all the best out there.

The rules on overseas players have been so loose that most SL clubs have driven a coach and horses through them at some stage (remember Kolpak stiffs and EU dual-nationals didn’t count for under the old style quotas). Therefore how much of an advantage we actually got from our "official" quota exemption during the time we had it is debateable, especially as others got similar exemptions at various points. You also have to balance that “official” advantage against higher costs of living, there has never been a “London weighting” on our salary cap.

Yeah fair points. All I meant was that there was a time (I'd say 96-9icon_cool.gif when I genuinely couldn't name an English player at London, but could other clubs (e.g. Haughton, Connolly, Robinson, Smith, Radlinski etc at Wigan).

Anyway, I know harking on about quota rules in 1996 is admittedly a bit stupid, so I'll shut up right now!

Good job there is so many of us flatcappers...we have kept the game going over 100 years

Roll on the next round of franchise nonsense hope your chairman is still around

Actually there has been a continuous amateur RL setup in London since 1965, so its setting up contrary to popular belief is nothing to do with either having a pro club or RU dropping the ban on RL players
