London Broncos have never had ANY help from the RFL.
Like being given promotion to Sooper League, because of your location.
Us 'flat cappers' never had a club that was 'placed' into Super League, despite crap crowds and overseas 'has beens' southern jessie 'Dick Lewis' gave it to you.. Take the 'rough with the smooth' chaps, Bradford are getting the kinda help you would get also !

Trying to get my head round how southern jessie Dick Lewis gave us our place in Super League in 1995 when he did not join the RFL until 2002.

apologies to Richard.

"Despite not playing in the top flight, London Broncos were selected by the RFL to be part of the new Super League competition in 1996 on the basis that it was essential for the sport to have a high profile representative in the capital"

Even though it was In all probability before you were born or even ill-conceived, London were a requirement for the new TV deal. This is no longer the case but at the time, no London, no Uncle Rupert's allowance...and without that, where would the likes of PNG, Oldham, Workington, Sheffield, Halifax, Bradford Bills, Wakefield, Celtic Crusaders, Gateshead and Leigh be today



London will slip quietly into the lower tier this year, with no adverse reaction from SKY TV, no drop in revenue for the game and no visible damage to the player pool....England, GB or EUROPE will continue to get spanked by the criminal element and all those London based kids that are on the brink of playing top tier RL will be lost to the pimms brigade......and wits like you will celebrate another pit town with a 5k average employing pacific islanders and average ANZACS......

Still.....we're not bottom for now. That's the Bradford Bills. Wanna talk about BAILOUTS?

NO NEED FOR THAT MATE !

I was racking my brains trying to workout where and how Papua New Guinea came into the equation, then I thought maybe Garbagefacts means Paris PSG but then again!....

A long way from the M62 & no mistake.

Although it would make a nice change for pit villages to be replaced with fishing villages.

He's quite naughty isn't he ?

Gateshead Thunder were donated to Hull to keep them in Super League.

Gf you obviously enjoy the verbal jousting on here but come on mate your starting to get to the bottom of the barrel, constant use of the word "loving" as a substitute, caps on in a text SHOUT and then calling other posters F wits.
no need mate you can debate better than that no need to use offensive words

I can assure you that I am not the bloody messiah, that's for sure





AND YOU CAN LOVE OFF YOU LOVING LOVEWIT

Gutterfax is 'very naughty' aren't you ?
Have you been banned of any forums yet ?
I got banned of wigan's forum for asking about their salary cap, touchy buggers the Pie Mods.

3 months on the side-lines of the NRL forum here, but it was well worth it, given the permanent removal of some of the most toxic posters I have ever had the misfortune to come up against. Said "Toxic" posters, upset that I had stood up to them and eventually prevailed over their bully boy tactics, invited me to "play" on their forum at League Unlimited, which is in fact, not a forum at all, but a fascist training camp where racism and intolerance are encouraged.
Unfortunately, after surviving there (3 years) for slightly more than the 5 minutes I was assured I would last, the forums owners decided it was easier to ban me than ban the 10 or so racists who thought laughing at the numbers of dead in the Irish Famine was a valid recourse to them having their s handed to them.....repeatedly.
To give you an idea of their standard of posting, check out my signature below.

ha ha...will do !

You have seriously gone up in my estimation after hearing about this. It only takes Good to ignore evil, for evil to prevail, or words to that effect. Good on ya GF.

Alas, it is only in "internet world" where I slay the evil doers....in reality, the nearest I get is wearing my underpants over my trousers as I tap away furiously on my keyboard!

Lololol, quality.

I'm confused.

I thought we were ignoring Gus for the greater good?

If ya want, each to their own aye.

I guess he's the evildoing exception to the rule

Lol, you know it

Placed, is an interesting choice of words, could it for instance be replaced with kept in, as in a certain club finishing bottom of the league but not being relegated?

Oh c'mon!!

London, along with Paris were GIVEN SL status, it was a nonsense in my opinion, and crapped on the credibility of London and the RFL and SLE.

Not arguing that point, history is what it is, am pointing out that those along the M62 have also had the odd bit of assistance as well.

Bradford Bills?
