Hughes, Lewis and Mackay have all but said it will happen if we can find a new stadium. The Quins thing clearly isn't working for them and they see our future elsewhere. And since when do the Skolars have 1000+ season ticket holders? If we could keep these fans on board by selling a 3-5 year vision we could be a very strong championship club, which Skolars unfortunately aren't yet. Also a smaller stadium doesnt mean a dump like the New River either.

I plan on winning the quad rollover on the euro millions one day he's my plan

Build a stadium to North west London on some brown field site 10k capacity.
Move Sarcacens in, let both clubs have their on identity.
Charge £5 a ticket for first 3 seasons, under 10's free with an adult, 11-17 £1
Buy up any billboard space within 3 miles, hammer the local papers with ads.
Have a permanent sports bar with cheap booze.
Free travel to away games to anyone that has a match ticket.

It's a vision folks, just need to win now.

I'm looking at this from a SL perspective. No London club in SL means that it's down to a dozen M62 clubs, one shaky M56 club and one club in the south of France. Not very Super is it?

so, this season so far we have beaten 2 of the top teams in the SL over the last few years
we have run the red hot team so far right to the line and got a point
yep we have had some poop results!
But we have the stadium! Like the name or not, and this if from a bloke that has never yet been able to shout "come on the quins" I am the gobby one that sticks to come on London, even confused me when we played Skolars
We do have a team that can compete with any club on the right day
We confusingly are still able to operate as a viable business thanks to our backers!! (dont know how he can afford it)
so with the way the Franchise sytem works and the way the RFL want SUPER LEAGUE to operate then we have every right to maintain our place
As for a ground move AGAIN, there was uproar and whinging when Watford was mentioned, so where else we gonna go?
Building a new stadium is not easy, ask Cas! Salford! Saints!!!!, not forgetting they have there old stadiums to use as collateral we dont!!
I Like the stoop, the other options, Brentford!! good community ground but good god got to be a real fire risk
Charlton!!! such easy access!!!!!! arff arffff

Bottom line is we need to start winning games!!! does not matter what we are called what colours we play in or where we play, if we are losing then unless yr mad or hardcore supporter then there will be other draws on a Fri/Sat night or sat afternoon

Right, please don't slate me for this, i'm not a flatcapper, I want London RL to be a huge success to shut people up.
I heard on the radio that the Japanese olympic squad were using facilities at a soon to be built sports village 30 mins from the Olympic Stadium. I can't for the life of me remember where it was, but it definately wasn't a place with a football team yet was a town big enough that I have heard of it! Does anyone know anything about it and if it would be a viable option for you (you'll aways be London Broncos to me)

noises I've heard here in NZ is that a new ground and name are the plan........as you say listy...it might be the death knell but I'll be even more upset if they just roll up somewhere and expect people to pay to watch games.

Apparently a lot of RU supporters who are not Harlequins FC supporters are put off coming to the Stoop to support a rugby league team called Harlequins.

Quote ="Homer"Probably closer to the heartlands than Quinsland mate, Loughborough Uni. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/leic ... 082187.stm'" Cheers mate, I stand corrected, i'd just heard it on the radio. Would be great if this kind of set up was available for you though.

Something I have said all a long.

Another thing is unless Quins are to build a new ground where would they move to?

Unless its back to Brentford when/if they move everywhere else apart from Barnet or Leyton O would be too big.

It is so good that in general a lot of common sense is being discussed! if Rugby League is going to be a Super League it needs London, of course many on the M62 corridor will not agree they would gladly see the game go semi pro again?? heads in the sand.

Yes we do need a ground of our own one day, as Jonny has said perhaps there may be something from the Olympic legacy we can look to? and leaving the Harlequins would bring about a name change.

But no way can we afford or the game for us to drop into the Championship as I stated at the start that would be a death wish and knock rugby league back further than it is today.

I Know! the RFL is treating this matter seriously and they are consulting of course not in public how is best to go forward, we all seem to agree and I know that one person who has responded to them also agree it is no use throwing money at the current set up we have, we need a well organized winning team and club first!

Once again , that is beyond your control

And whatever we end up doing please ensure that the development work done over the last few years are not wasted and that we keep an active presence in West London / South West London regardless of our club location. I am happy to argue the toss with anyone who says London has failed after 30 years of development / opportunity as this is patentely an argument that works for the blinkered flat earth society, but we have now had 5 years of organised consolidated development which is bearing fruit - to lose that would be a travesty.

Did I say it was my control to ensure a winning side? I don't think so.

What is vital to ensure success us how the way the club is financed and how serious future team recruitment is done and that relies on finance, yes we are making great strides with development and I fully support that but it is still on going and we need to be able to keep hold of talented players we develop. I still think the game needs a ruling that any young player (Under 24, 25 or 26?) who leaves a club if they have developed that player should receive a fee even if he is at the end of his contract and if the two clubs can't agree it is decided by an independent tribunal on the way the player has played and developed and that fee is not up for any discussion.

Why would dropping a division help the club? Most of the fan base would leave. No players from up North would want to come and live down here on part-time wages, so effectively it would just be players from our academy playing every week. We'd be getting thrased every week and end up like Skolars and Gateshead at the bottom of Championship 1, winning one game a season.

Moving grounds (again!) isn't going to chnage anything. Where would we go? Most places we've tried, no other football clubs would want us there.

Again I don't see what being called 'London Broncos' will acheive. It just makes us sound like an American football team. It's not like it was the original name of the club, some people need to let it go.

London RLFC. We've had that on the shirt before, adding an animal after London just makes people think we are an american football team playing in London. London Rugby League Football Club with a new emblem that incorporates the Bronco, Harlequin, along with the Crusader and Fulham badges. www.londoncrusaders.blogspot.com/ It looks like we have given up the rights to the London Crusaders name, so at least no-one will be asking for that, even if the Celtic team hadn't come along.

Well we all have opinions and I never liked the Crusaders logo it looked as if we were part of the Daily Express! I would rather have a Bronco but LONDON RUGBY LEAGUE CLUB is the name and to try and find an Olympic 2012 venue we can inherit!

London Royals



Or a fitting, London Nomads

Well with the picture that Barry Hearn paints maybe Leyton Orient may face tough times with West Ham moving a little closer to the O's. A move to Brisbane Road would be a nod to our days of being owned by the Brisbane Broncos, and it is a return to North London, moving south of the river something some fans have never forgiven the club for doing.

How about London Town.

London GOONERS

It has been said that the number of people watching RL on SKY is boosted by the significant numbers in the London area.
If London is producing a disproportionatly high number of SKY viewers perhaps Quins should ask for a disproportionatly high percentage of the SKY money.
Perhaps this is time for the RFL to back its expansion clubs with the TV money that their audience brings.
That kind of money could change and improve things for Quins almost overnight!

No thanks, we would like to win something oneday.

Brutus why Brutus

This pretty much sums it up.
