Yeah sorry about that
Can we do a BMI index as well, surely in that one we would beat some traditional teams.

Yes, I'm kinda jealous of the guaranteed SL place that London (under whatever name) will always have, regardless of attendances. This time last year was a very worrying time for fans of many clubs, but London must have known they were a shoe-in, purely because of location.
Just find it annoying that's all.

You're jealous of a myth?

Shame we never finished bottom of old SL then isn't it. Instead of finishing 2nd pre-playoffs and the twice in a play off position.
Tell me principled one. If you finish in a play off position, but have to travel to TW2 for the game.....will you stay at home (AGAIN)?

Can I point out that if, say, you'd gone to the first pro RL game of the modern London incarnation as a 10 year old kid, by now you're 39, quite possibly with kids of your own. That, my friends, is a history and tradition.
There has been an amateur RL setup in London for most of that time. There is a self-funded, grass-roots up semi-pro club in the capital (Skolars), another in the home counties (Hemel) and lots of good quality players in the London leagues, the London Universities (St Mary's are in the elite 'Super Six' Division) and throughout the schools.
London IS part of the tradition of RL, and IS a heartland area.
Let's put this another way: if Celtic Crusaders are as successful in 2038 as Quins are now, that will rightly be considered a rip-roaring success story.

You're a Quins fan?! Always thought you was a Rhino for some reason.
You know you'd have been fighting for your lives on many occassions (particularly mid-90's), if it wasn't for the severely loosened rules on Aussies, meaning you could pack the team with class players like Barwick, Materson etc.

Hmm, good question.
To be honest I've only been able to get to 3 away games this year (Hull, Wigan, Hudds), but am planning to get to at least another 3-4.
Was you the guy who offered to pay for my ticket if I make the trip?! *
