But without them we would have no SKY money and more than likely a significant drop in National Media exposure !

I've had enough of them.

Waste of a franchise and I don't believe the city needs a Super League team just so the sport receives exposure.

Have they even got a sponsor?

Go get Brian Noble & put him in charge. He would at least get them competing.

Get them in the Olympic stadium, give away free tickets for schools etc..
Be a great way to get the young generation into rl

In all honesty I always thought expanding slower from the rugby league hotbed was a better way forward, going to Cumbria, eventually midlands etc.
Obviously France has proved the it can be done outside the main areas.

I have - once before when Tricky Dicky walked away and I wished we could be put out of our misery. But then we (and the visiting support) had some great seasons at Brentford and at the start at the Stoop. Mind you it's been a hard slog waiting for the phoenix to rise again this time and unless something spectacular happens it could be terminal.

I understand why some heartlands supporters get frustrated with the London "experiment". But if they want to know what frustration is they should try being London supporters!

So when the mighty wigan were averaging 4000-5000 or so for home games in the biggest hotbed of rugby league (& likely leaking money hand over fist) back in the early 80s should we have subjected them to the self same treatment that some fans are trying to ply against London?
jesus I don't see how it is effecting your club so badly that you want them out of SL.

London are a terrible advertisement for our sport. No fans. No idea. As an RL fan they embarrass me.

The sooner Gus Mackay does what he was brought in to do and closes them down the better.

2 home fixtures next for London. Wakey then Catalans. I'd be surprised if either game gets over 1000 fans.

What makes it worse is that the Wakey game is live on sky. Viewing the swathes of empty seats looks terrible on camera and is a bad advert for our game.
