We knew it was coming, but it's official now.... news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 353867.stm I'm glad, hated referring to them as Quins. Just a thought, Leyton Orient applied for the Olympic Stadium today. Would Brisbane Road be an option for London Broncos own home?

Who does deserve the Olympic Stadium?

How unimaginative. There appeared to be some great suggestions submited when they asked for a consultation regarding the name a few months back.

Someone who aren't that crap. It's like giving Salford Old Trafford

Stratford? If Orient move anywhere it should be back to Clapton. Yrs, a Hackney resident

Don't see it changing anything personally.

As relevant as a fart in a swimming baths

Or as your post.

Just my opinion.

Correct , but I thought my analogy was funnier , get some work done , ya lazy bugger

At least we won;t have to suffer the horrific shirts anymore!

Now all they need is a ground, a marketing team and decent squad!

Can understand why they've gone back to Broncos, but should have been London RLFC for mine.

The best squad London has assembled for years, possibly since a second-placed finish, so I would say that a decent squad is there, but the other two might be a tall order for London.

Yes it will.
The website for starters

and then there's the team colours, nice new headed notepaper, business cards etc......

One thing at a time eh? Rome (or London RL) wasn't built in a day!

It's worth a lot more for housing than as a sports ground.

Barry Hearn bought it from the club for £6m; they pay £180K a year rent to use it.

The 4 corners of the ground were sold for flats - for more than 7 million in 2003. Presumbably the rest of the ground would be worth more than that.

So you'd have to be asking the government for help with a grant wouldn't you? Can't see Sport England having enough sway to refuse that kind of money either. Cheers Jon.

Sport England just gave netball £1m to encourage women to play netball, I'll repeat that, Sport England just gave netball £1m to encourage women to play netball. Sport England are really flipping stupid and have had their budget cut by a third, so they seem to be intent on wasting their money, unfortunately not on rugby league.

So you want sport England to give netball 1 million to encourage women to play RL ?



Now that would be stupid

They give just short of £8 million per year to rugby league. As our adult participation numbers are on a par with sports like Korfball, it could be argued that we do extremely well out of Sports England. One of the undisputably good things that Richard Lewis has done for the sport.

Yeah right, don't you say that every year. Oh and some extra fans would be a nice addition.

The man in charge of Lodon's franchise knows what is required hence this is the 1st time the club have spent up to the cap. I for one cannot wait for the new season. hopefully win more games at home might get more punters through the door.

Agreed, I don't want to get too carried away after the last few seasons we have had, but I am REALLY looking forward to the 2012 season!

I would much rather be in our situation than playing at a toilet of a stadium, announcing wonderful signings such as Kyle Wood and only being in Super League on a technicality.
