If Featherstone think they can survive on 4000 home support a game plus travelling fans they are mistaken. They would need a wealthy benefactor to pour £ms into the Rovers.
Wakefield are getting there with crowds of 8100 last year and a first game att of 9200 or so. Glover said he lost money last year but is now around breaking even.
I really hope the Broncos stay, as a presence in the Capital is essential for the sake of the sport and its profile.
The despondency of the fans is awful to read and the crowd of 1800 is terrible.
Where the money would come from to rescue the club I don't know but something has to change.

I've never bought the theory that Rugby League needs London to get more sponsors or income. Where did that ever start? I don't know of any company that has sponsored/partnered the Super League/RFL/Challenge Cup that were a London company. JJB, Stobart, Tetley's, Leeds Met etc etc aren't London businesses are they?

Yes, London is the biggest city in the country and a major player in the business world but what does that actually have to do with Rugby League? Not a lot really. I don't buy that London make the profile of the game any bigger either. Most people now have access to Sky TV or the like and have found the sport that way rather than because of London Broncos.

This London franchise is dead and buried. If someone with the right money came along and started a separate club and had a franchise then who knows but this London club is a wounded animal just waiting for that lethal injection. The away fans don't want to know and the home fans could fit in one room.

R.I.P London Broncos (but not Rugby League in London).

Tetley's Challenge Cup for GBP800,000 p/a.

Linkey Linkey...........

spot on I'm sad to admit

In fact....utter bollox.

Partnership is a whole different ball game to Sponsorship......I stand by my assertion that very little cash will have changed hands...
TotalRL is the only place I have seen 800k...and that was for 2 years....not per year and that was unubstantiated.

If the RLF had nailed on 800k a year they'd have blasted it out to everyone....even 400k a year.......I suspect there's more data sharing going on than exchanging of cheques.

London Broncos aren’t about to go into administration are they. You have a wealthy backer who is prepared to lose millions. If SKY took on this mantle how would it increase attendances ?

The thought of us having "administration" made me chuckle.

If the presence of a club in London is vital for the viability of SL how come we still have no sponsor?

I thought Selco was our sponsor their name is on the front of the shirt.

It was SKY who have insisted on a London outfit in SL, it was part of the original deal. I wonder what their views are now?

Sorry - how come SL still has no sponsor?

i have a belt

SKY would invest money in making the club self sufficient.....the red cross is a charity, News International is not.
