(But I'm told the curry was good)

Is this the worst way to die, slowly and with no-one knowing? A quick departure would have at least given more time for something to be rescued from the ruins.

This club is not even good at suicide.

I suspect the club has been murdered, put in the boot of a car which is parked at Heathrow by someone who headed for home.

Daffdad, probably the best post on here in an age, think it has nailed it.

Agreed

The fans who wouldn't take no for an answer. [urlhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24458891[/url. We can rebuild it!

The problem with a trust is the wide geographical spread of our support - for something like this to succeed you really need the bulk of the support within a fairly tight radius of the club's ground. This has always been the case to certain extent with us - at Chiswick you had the Supporters' Club chairman and his wife living in Dagenham (the Snares) and the Treasurer and her husband in Bromley (the Warrens) with the club owner in Maidenhead, but now I suspect that it's much greater. In many ways the slow death approach is ideal as far as the RFL's concerned as it'll minimise bad publicity when the corpse is finally dragged away - all there'll be in the media are short paragraphs and their broadcasting equivalents saying variations on 'as expected London Broncos have folded'.

When a club is releasing the top end of a successful 19's team who are deemed by their peers to be the best crop through the system the alarm bells surely must be ringing.
Yes ok there may be a team playing next season, but really is there any long term view?

Patience.

We'll all find out soon enough.

Spot on sir

The club is not dead (yet) but the relationship with the fans is. Any resuscitation must also have a renewal of the fan-club relationship. Without that it will have become the soulless franchise so hated by all true sports fans. The club has survived a lot in its history but this is the biggest challenge.

We can't have a re-birth until the ground and area is finally confirmed, then that area and a surrounding radius has to be blitzed, we have to get involved with someone like Capital FM, Smooth or Magic. BBC Radio London do a great job with coverage but I'm not convinced it will bring in the people we want.

Hi hull kr fan here In peace my heart does genuinely go out to you hull kr been through dark times ourselves. Can I ask a question who is your ceo please.

Unless we have new management I can't see myself being interested.

We are not actually playing anything at the moment and I am no longer sure those making decisions have any idea

it is my understanding that all the decisions are pretty much out of our hands at this stage and we will be a bargaining chip used in the shenanigans that will follow the RLWC Final.

Feeder club for Wigan?

Nope.

My speculative take on the situation, based on the bits I have been drip fed, are that the club has identified and negotiated with new investor(s) but these people were looking for clarification regarding Licencing/Franchising/Relegation matters. In addition, the club were also after dispensation on the overseas players issue.
Given Licencing was designed in part to ensure clubs produced their own talent, then it could be argued that the removal of licencing could also see the limit on overseas talent being removed too.

No assurances will be given to any club as to "survival" or protection from relegation UNLESS the investors are locked in with a substantial sum of money, a set period of time in which to spend it and a clear and manageable business plan (not forecasts on fans and sponsors). This all comes down to the "importance" of London....there are those clubs that don't see the benefit and those that do.....I would suggest that the IL led group are on our side, whilst the rest of SL and the Championship clubs are not. Leeds are the only concern I have with regard to the second group.....a club that used to be a strong ally is now cool on us and that is a concern!

Doubt we will hear anything concrete now until December, by which stage we will be 1 month behind pre-season training and looking down both barrels. I can see the RFL giving in to a number of demands from the "rebel" clubs, but London not being one of them.....left with no assurances of protection from relegation, the investors will walk and if we do start 2014, it will be at the Hive on DH's cheque book and with a Championship standard team......and the only thing that would save us from the drop then is if 2 other teams go bust next year.

This sad but ultimately avoidable mess is 100% of our own creation now.....we've had years to sort things out since IL was made walk and all we've done is shovel more money down the drain!

Well the demand for exemption from relegation and loosening of signing overseas players does explain my puzzlement on why 'anyone' would consider investing in LB as it will be impossible to get a team ready for next season to avoid being relegated. It doesnt look good now. Pity these investors diidnt come forward 2/3 seasons ago.

Pity we didn't start looking for them.

Interesting we once had the 6th richest person in the country on board look at where that went, Caribbean anybody?

And he came to the conclusion that there was no market for top level RL in London, was going to let Leigh have our SL place and provide the money to establish a lower division side in the capital. Personally, I think he was right.
