I'm sure there is resentment from some quarters, but I do think that for the majority of SL fans, if there is any bad feeling it's mostly disappointment. Disappointment that the club could not progress from a promising start. The whole ground thing for me is far less of an issue than the drop off in fans. If London where pulling in 5-7k I doubt many would talk about them at all.
Lets be fair, London never merged to escape relegation, never broke the cap, have not been in administration (although have sailed close to the wind), never lost a Franchise, never been relegated.
I do wish London well, but I want them to do well, not to have to be seen as unviable constantly moving, with no real base.

What I really mean though 'shadows, is London should have been left to "evolve". We had a club emerge outa the defunct carcass of Fulham RL. We gre from around 600 or so diehards from Fulham to around 1200 Crusaders (I know I was one of those noobs). Then we get 'bought' by Brisbane and suddenly Sky TV are demanding a 'London' club in the new Superleague.
You can't make Bread until you've properly prepared the dough, well ye' can, but it comes out crap!
