The RFL had said that the 1895 cup would begin 27/28 January. Is this not correct ?

They both belatedly got a main jersey sponsor for the play-offs. London in particular have been a basket case off the field for quite a few years now. They've alienated a huge chunk of what wasn't a particulalrly large fan base as a result.

They have only sold 700 season tickets, hopefully a few more get on board now for them.

Given the uncertainty about if / where they would be playing, this is probably understandable.
Like every other club, they need some stability before they can grow and since Koucash left, they haven't had any..

You could ague that they didn't have any when he was there, left them with more debt than when he started and no progress on the ground

The council have voted to be willing/intend to take full ownership of the stadium. Now they have to negotiate a deal with Peel Holdings to try and agree a purchase price with them. If and when it happens, it won't be any time too soon.
