Quote ="Slugger McBatt"That is a very arrogant post and very dismissive of your northern masters.
The game will thrive as it always has done. Having a London-based team has not put a single extra bum on a seat for the majority of rugby league teams. Arguably, it has cost a lot of bums, because the Quins home game is never a must-see, because there is no atmosphere from the away "crowd". Rugby league is one of the most-watched sports on Sky behind football, and that has nothing to do with having a London side. Demographics for national advertisers will be no poorer than it is now, because the presence of Harlequins will not be a deal-breaker for companies, because no one goes to watch you.
I wish you well, but only because of the negative press coverage you will generate, but you need to stop overstating your importance. Those who run rugby league want expansion. Most fans want to see the game become popular. But if you had a poll amongst rugby league fans, most would lose no sleep if you went bust.'"
That may or may not be true but it would matter to those of us who follow RL in London and that's why it's being discussed on here. Trolls like you add nothing to the debate so please spare us any more of your pompous musings. Thank you.
