I must have missed the part in the criteria which stated we have to send some random journalist a statement when he demands it.

Bloody Broncos not reading the RFL criteria properly again

Really. I my opinion, Journalists should be treated as allies no enemies.
A good professional sports club. In any sport. Needs a positive relationship with the media, all media.

Nobody mentioned he was an enemy. I said that there is no obligation from a club to someone who demands a set amount of words within a time limit.

Welcome back ML. Have you had a sabbatical ??

I agree with ML. As frustrated as I have been with LB, we are under no obligation to to this.

Obviously the club its under no obligation to take part. I would say that it would be good business practice to partake of this opportunity to put forward our case for inclusion in Super league. After all Is it not David Hughes avowed aim to get the club back in SL.
I would say the club will look rather pathetic, if it was the only club of those applying not to contribute.

Agree no one is under any obligation, but PR is so important. in how people look at a club.

That's the League Express editor who is followed by over 18k people including most of the major people of importance in RL.

Genuinely stunned that any club wouldn't jump at the chance of putting forward their case in what is basically the trade newspaper.

Good news at last just heard from Martyn 'League Express' all Six Clubs in contention for The Super League 12th place, have submitted their 500 words of their application intention, all of the 6 clubs admissions will be in tomorrow's edition, should be an interesting read.

League express are not the people who are making the decision. Not sure what the big deal is.

So has anyone read League Express & have a view on the respective 500 words. Rather reminds me of the NZ soap 800 Words that the Beeb have been running. I expect there will be some deluded statements in some of them.

Interesting to read all 6 clubs submissions to 'League Express' why they deserve the 12th place in Super League. Our submission looks as if they do have something up their sleeves but didn't want to go public yet?

Would your reading of it jaybs be that whatever is up their sleeve (hand & arm apart) is in the official submission but not in the school essay for LE?

I promised exciting news. It's in the bid

Stop teasing James

Is the exciting news dependant on the SL bid being successful??

We will have to wait and see if exciting, or just interesting!

Here is our submission to League Express in 500 words.

[uLondon Broncos[/u

From our owner David Hughes, a private man, and throughout the rest of our club we pride ourselves on being dignified and respectful and as a club we firmly believe we tick the boxes required in the criteria and long before this process had already started work on a number of projects that will see the club meeting the required standard of Super League in every single aspect without making our ambitions public.

These exciting developments have taken months to implement and are still a work in progress but we are hopefully close to fruition and we expect to be able to announce these soon.

Our Academy is regarded as one of the biggest expansion success stories in the British game and for the benefit of the game as a whole for a number of years, producing talent that has gone on to win International Honours, Super League Grand Finals and Challenge Cups.

On the field our staff are of equal high regard with one of the brightest young coaching groups in the game. Danny Ward is a charismatic Head Coach with a thoughtful and modern approach to the game of Rugby League gaining fans around the sport for his approach to Super League in 2019 that saw us miss out on survival on points difference.

A structured plan for both community development and commercial aspects of the club is in place and the response has been fantastic.
Commercially brands are continuing to want to partner with the Broncos, despite the difficult times many are facing, and we have many partnerships ready to reveal for 2021.

We have put forward a strong case for the Broncos to be in SL 2021 and, of course, feel that we are one of the stands out candidates for a place in the sports Premium competition. Every sport has at least one strong London side and this opens doors in the media and commercially that Rugby League especially needs as a National game.

Nope.

1- new ground
2-more(major)sponsors
3-david passing on the baton so he can retire
4-handful of nrl /super league players signed up
5- few old boys return

got to be one of these.....or return of the cheerleaders

All of the above & particularly Cassie & the Cowgirls please.

Thats good news

With what has been said by the club/ward, Im guessing it has nothing to do with the playing squad. I am gonna go for......some kind of Investment/help for DH that could possibly involve relocation

I doubt anything to do with playing squad would need to be included in the bid (in terms of, we are signing this player and that)

Agree. Let’s hope not Wimbledon!.... though I’ve been every bloody ground. What’s another one

Eddie could be on way to Wakey

Thought they had asked and we said no.
Altho maybe now we def not in SL they are having a re think and gonna let him have a SL gig
