| We're always been told that London will never be relegated because:
A) The RFL will save em by some means...
B) RL deals with SKY won't survive without a top flight team in London....
Guess we shall find out in the next few weeks !!!
Will you miss them ?
Personally i've had some good trips to the various venues over the years and met some cracking folk, genuinely knowledgeable about the game.....hope these people aren't lost with the Broncos not in Super League.

| I'm afraid the vast majority decided to give up several years ago when the club went into a coma. Successive years of no change resulted in friends giving up hope. Just the last few left as the pulse peters out.
Whether Grima can resuscitate the club is another matter. Henderson is certainly a good addition. And Grima's background with younger squads should prove beneficial. Whether he is given all the resources he needs is remains to be seen. What we need is some clarity about the ground next year and about the ownership. Currently neither are clear.

| If they can sort a permanent base out i still think this will be beneficial for the club and RL in London long term.

I agree, IF they can get a permanent home.

| Pro RL is dead in London, this will in no way be beneficial for the club.
Im pretty confident this club is dead
They have next to no sponsors, no home, have failed at a none-league football ground, all their best youngsters are leaving, there will be no nearby pro level academy within a 100 miles, they are signing journeymen and squad fillers.
If they have a place to play next year i wouldnt be surprised to see crowds of 4/500.
They are, and have been for a few years a club winding back and scaling back. Successive owners and lack of central planning and support has successfully destroyed RL in london over the past 5 or 6 years.

| ATEOTD if licencing still existed we would have no London bronco's at all because David Hughes would have walked away completely.IMO he wanted a way out of financing the club to the level he was doing.
Following the club & some fans on twitter it now seem like the club is knuckling down to do the hard yards whilst still having the opportunity to stay professional.
As with all clubs that make the right decisions on and of the field,good luck to them.

^^^^^^ spot on^^^^^^
Hughes was (probably) well meaning, but so out of his depth it was frightening. His appointments of coaches and administrators displayed a naivety that you'd expect from a child....and his refusal to accept advice or a criticism was worthy of a 2 year old.

I can't see that being the case. If so why did London apply for a SL licence for 2012-14?
I don't think it's anything to do with licensing, it's all to do with mis-management.

| To those that claim London can "rebuild and come back stronger" after a spell out of SL......378 was the attendance at the Derby between the Skolars and Hemel this weekend. A good number of those fans will also be those that attend Broncos games.......the allure of Halifax or Featherstone (no disrespect meant) will hardly see London generate interest, crowds, sponsors or investors that will enable the club to re-build. Without an investor/benefactor, the club will decline further.......
...the next London team at the top table will be there AGAIN by invitation, once the RFL get bored with their new, new, new (is there another new in there) System.

| Thank goodness, like watching a lame horse it was painful watching that farce of a professional (sic) club. IF London is ever in a position to support a SL club we will see them back, if not then it is one to consign to the hisory books. Sorry to all you London die hards but the embarrasement to SL has gone on quite long enough.

...I take solace in the fact that the NRL has seen not to follow suit with a team in WA.
