Noticed a media report saying that the RFL was in discussion with the London Olympic management over the use of it's Stadium in 2013.....as a RL World Cup venue.
Perhaps they will make it a condition of any future SuperLeague licence in London that the holders play out of the stadium. Sorry Quins but have always been of the view that The Stoop is not the ideal venue for a SuperLeague team.......the bars are ok but the TRANSPORT LINKS are disgraceful.
At least the Olympic Stadium is going to be well served by tube, rail, bus and parking Any views

Am sure in the standard a couple of weeks ago that it was stated the use of the stadium post 2012 could not fit Football or Rugby both codes as the running track will have to stay.
Our future is to stay allied to the Quin's.
The stadium is perfect for our needs & hopefully, we will get more interaction with our Union counterparts.
As for terrible transport links, whats wrong with 6-8 trains an hour from Waterloo with an average journey time of 20-25 minutes. (I know that there have been problems with track maintenance but that is countrywide.Hence the reason I have not travelled to Castleford today.)
Also, Richmond Tube Station is only a few minutes away & the motorway network is close by.
As for talk of uprooting again. NO WAY!!!!!
so lets make it harder for away fans to get to the games eh?
What a stupid idea, the Stoop might not be ideal but where is? at least with the stoop links to the M way sytem are pretty good, M25 M40, (lancs based teams0 and M25/M1 for Yroks based teams

With the club's history, that makes it a given, then.
Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently. Rosa Luxemburg, 'Die russiche Revolution'.
