London need a new owner, someone like David Argyle could make a great success of a London Super League team

In terms of fan base are you for real when you are for the likes of London, Toulouse and Toronto who bring no fans what so ever

David Argyle, like David Hughes at London does nothing other than write cheques. Hughes drops 2 million a year as Argyle will have to do from next year onwards if they make SL........The problem isn't Hughes, the Problem is what the club are allowed to do with that 2,000,000........

Have you been to a game at Lamport Stadium?
It’s probably the best game day experience throughout the Championship and Super League.
David Argyle is the top dog at the Wolfpack, he is ultimately responsible for everything that happens.

I don't think he has, but he seems to know more about the club than the owner does.

As Castleford found out last season, you can beat a team all you want in the league, it's how you perform when it matters that counts!

Which game (or games) did you attend at Lamport?

Bit of stating the obvious that remark, someone like David Argyle at any club you care to mention could make a successful Super League team, if he can do it in completley virgin territory in Canada he could do it anywhere, Workington? Keighley? Newcastle? Fev? Leigh? do you want me to go on, till I've named every club.

To quote Liza Minelli "money makes the world go round" or in this case Rugby League.

The Lamport stadium just looks like a bigger version of Dewsbury's.

But with a pitch that looks like a crossword.

London are a joke .....
The youth/academy set up I will give you as a small + but London village RL Club through all their previous names & guises & nomadic venues are pathetic, they are the revolving failed corner shop of RL.
London get 400 home fans for a reason, nobody wants them, RL couldn't care less & even London/home counties don't want them, London/Fulham/Harlequins are a wedding venue basket case short of a picnic !

Watching a game on that Toronto pitch is like taking LSD

.

True.

Well, which one did you attend? Or are you just making it up?

Is that you giggling back in the shield comp can hear?

That's big of you......how has your youth and academy gone this year....especially with that pre-season windfall you got?


High praise indeed from a side that has bothered the SL schedulers 51 times with only 8 wins to show for it......


London get 900 as an average.......and yes, that is shocking, but whilst they play out of a wedding venue, with no income on mach day....they do so in the Qualifiers......safe in the knowledge that they are funded again for 2019.......<REMOVED - please make your point without the name calling>

Not so keen when your little town club is under attack are you !
*this is also kind of the point of my post*.

IIRC & although I did not attend *it was reported on a Leigh Fans FB page by several who travelled* the London v Leigh game was more akin to a Leigh home match (attendance aside) given that several said there was about, if not more Leigh fans than London. Given your stated average of 900 (if true) what is the average number of home fans *Not the total* ?

Given your lack of a response to being asked when you've been to a game at Lamport, we have to assume that you're just making things up. It may well be a great experience, but making a statement like this implying you have personal knowledge to back it up is totally disingenuous.

Must be true then.....


I logged every London Broncos/QRL gate in SL and can assure you that Leigh were the 5th worst attended visitors in their one and only visit to the capital in SL. This is not my opinion or that of a group of 50or so fans who make the trip down, get hammered and then inagine they were the majority, but a statistical fact.
Leeds were responsible for about 40% of the 1,900/2,500 depending on what you read, gate at the weekend....meaning that 1,140 or 1,500 londeners were there......oh, as for my little club.....I am aware that it is a small outfit, but I am also aware that we didn't put it all on red and whine like the ugly bridesmaid who goes home alone when it didn't go your way....enjoy the shield

Back on topic....

I think Bradford should still be confident of at least getting promotion via the playoffs.

For me, if York win at Workington (which they haven't done since 1791 or something like that!) they should be very confident. Although they do have tricky home matches against Oldham and Whitehaven, York have lost just one home match this season against Bradford in controversial circumstances after the full time hooter. The only other teams to get close at York are Keighley who lost by 14 pts and Doncaster who lost by 15 pts.

As for full time/part time. That's a tricky one. York are part time, but then you have a player such as Ben Cockayne who is employed by Hull KR in the corporate team, I believe. Likewise can't see Graeme Horne or Joel Edwards (recent signing from the NRL via Limoux) putting in shifts at Nestle before training. If you put it down to which club has had the biggest playing budget, I'd imagine Bradford's budget is double that of York. But that's just a guess.

Right, sorry to interrupt, feel free to continue arguing about London and the pitch at Toronto

Thats sorted that then. York, Bradford and one more all promoted into a 14 team championship.

change rules when bulls look in the
