Underwhelming kit and as for the rest of the launch itself, were we really expecting blanket coverage? With our budget and low profile it was never exactly going to be a major media event.

I look forward to, five years down the line, all the posters who loathed Harlequins RL coming on here and saying 'Its not working, lets change the name, that'll shake things up'

Who says the club has a small budget? I thought Sir Hughes was bankrolling this entire operation?

Plenty of good media coverage, nice one for tomorrows Guardian from Andy Wilson who is really starting to gain respect for our game. www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/20 ... on-broncos =#FF0000EDIT: Please don't copy and paste newspaper articles verbatim. A link is enough. Penguin.

Offiah just said on the road games in east and south east London on Sky

What grounds could we use?

I loved the comment - we have had more regenerations than Doctor Who - classic and true!

Oooooh Yeah We're back



Dont like the kits though

East London Leyton Orient.
South East London probably Palace or Charlton.

An announcement of Shuan Edwards as coach would have been more exciting.

Oh goody, I can hardly contain my excitement. Anything to take us away from that nasty Rugby Union stadium where I can't see the game because the sun is in my eyes and I'm miles away from the pitch.

We're in the Standard tonight, we're on BBC London, we're in the national papers, we were (for a short time) pretty visible on twitter - and we're launching as London in time for the double header on Saturday.

For a small budget we've not done badly at all.

The kit is the least of our worries. I'd rather win something wearing a balls kit than be a balls team wearing the best kit in Super League.

True, but the same could have been said for the name.

Yes, it could have.

But if 60% of respondents wanted London Broncos and London Broncos is a well-ish recognised name beyond the hardcore rugby league fraternity in London why reinvent the wheel?

Negotiating for a further 2-3 years at the Stoop was also on Sky Sports news Listy-So dont worry you will get to wear your sun specs for a few years yet

Wow. Just wow. I would hope that the results of the survey represented around 10% of the influence over the actual decision. I'm sure 60%+ people in this country would be in favour of substantially lower taxes, it doesn't mean they are right, or the idea itself is right.

But I'll be haunted of the awful times associated with H********s



I demand a groundshare with Barnet, until our 15,000 seater stadium is built in Hyde Park..

Indeed.

However you have to call a rugby club something. There's no science that says a brilliantly realised concept and brand will get people through the gates so why try and create perfection. The Broncos are well-remembered, the name resonates beyond the people who are going to games now. Neither of those would be true of a new name.

I thought this was going to be a new start, a new era, a new brand???

Perhaps they realised that was just so much guff, impossible to achieve and pointless. Better to have a brand where half the work's done for them and concentrate on getting a winning team together.

Yet they came out and decided to tell the entire supporter base that this was their intention

My response was Broncos on the return but then im an unimaginative sod-So Im happyicon_wink.gif

What was your suggestion Listy

Harlequins RL.

Playing in what colours

Some are simply stuck in a "time warp" and will never move on!

Could that comment be any more ironic?

Yep back to the Broncos
