1.65 million doesn't get you a lot in London....certainly not as much as it gets you In St Helelns or Leeds
I remember having a beer in the pub next to KR ahead of the 2003 play-off game.,......Pint of Carlsberg Export and a large lemonade...it cost 1.85. The same drinks in the Griffin at Brentford cost 3.25 in 2003. |

If London are competitive this season. Especially at Home for lots of reasons. Then spending the 1-65m will be worth it.

Only if people bother to turn up and watch them, if they don't it's hard to see where London go from there. |

Most jobs that have a London weighting, its a couple of thousand pounds, it seems in RL its a couple of hundred thousand pounds 
I dont buy into the idea London is a less attractive club to players, to the British players that maybe true, but super league is half made up of Aussie's, Kiwi's and pacific islander's, who would find London a much more attractive place to live than the likes of St helens, Warrington, Hull ect |

Not in all cases, some players are only here for the money. If they can live cheaper up north then they'd go there.
Listening to Matty Johns would confirm as much.

The top clubs get much more for their money. LMS is on the same money as he would've been if he'd stayed in London. But he wanted the challenge of leaving one of the greatest cities in the world to live in a strange northern small town. A bit like when Bear Grylls goes to live in an uninhabitable part of the world for a while. A proper test of character.

It's good that they have backer willing to flash the cash, can;t help but think a salary cap of 1.45 mill and and extra 200k to marketing might have been a better spend!

It would be great if more RL fans in the SE came to watch us. There's so many who associate themselves with northern clubs but don't get themselves to London games. RL fans are good at moaning but not so good at supporting the game. Come along its a fantastic family atmosphere with genuine, passionate RL fans of all sorts of backgrounds.

Passionate fans yes but the ground is a bit lifeless and can put some off, i go to both London and Wire games and the difference in atmosphere is vast.
London games feel like Sunday dinner with the family and Wire games feel like a night out with lads |

Atmos was much better at Brentford but can still be good when we are playing ok. I'm hoping Brisbane Road will offer a better atmos and long term solution. |

Did you ever go to Wilderspool when the club wasnt top of the league
Of course the HJ is going to be bouncing when you have the best team in the country |

Many fans would argue that Wilderspool had a better atmosphere than the HJ with less fans, personally i preferred the feeling i had back at The Zoo than the HJ, hoping the new corners help hold the noise in.

Have you been tapping my phone? 
The issue with Londons ESL team is that after 16 years of 100% neglect of any Marketing Strategy at all, the opportunity to organically grow bit by bit, may well have gone.
I get the impression that DH is not prepared to spend on the promotion of the Game as well as propping up the games expansion franchise......I have to say, I agree with him.
Why SLY TV won't do to London what they did for the Storm I have no idea.....  |

A few thousand pounds??? Ok.... here is an example. I've checked a property website. I don't know (nor am I picking on Leeds) but here is a 4 bedroom house for sale -
www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for ... 35862.html
£50k
Here is a house in London (again 4 bedrooms) -
www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for ... 97166.html
£190k
Now, both areas of these are probably not the best to live and I'm sure you can get far nicer (and more expensive house) in both cities....but the point is that sort of price is the difference on every run of the ladder.
Hence the need for London players to be paid far more! |

i preferred the atmosphere at the zoo you couldn't beat the banging on the old corrugated iron and the bounce that went on there i miss wilderspool for the atmosphere that you could hear in the town centre an d the walk over the bridge and causeway had your nerves jangeling |
