Quote ="DaveO"Well precisely. Apparently they have been micro managing clubs to the detriment of marketing and other aspects of the game. Well that is what they said was a big reason why they needed the proposed restructure that has been on the table and 6 clubs objected to.
So if they have been micro-managing how come it has come to this?
It doesn't add up. The RFL will no doubt try and use London's demise as ammunition to justify their changes when in fact it's their slack regulation that has led to first Bradford and now London to this.
As to the viability of a club in London I still don't think this proves it is impossible. A big mistake has been all along IMO calling it London. It's never been London and as such I don't thinks its ever had an identity which was also not helped by its nomadic existence. Its needed roots in one place and stability. It's never had it IMO.
If we want a club in the Capital we need to invest as a sport in a ground that is good enough in an area given some thought. Not plonk it in RU territory or sharing with some unwilling landlord. I think we have for decades tried to do London on the cheap.'"
Agree with this DaveO.. And i too was completely staggered when they choose/decided, to play at the Stoop, what were they thinking.
