Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us. If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

2005 was a "dallasesque" dream then was it

Londons problems as they stand are entirely of their own making. Yes, I would have preferred a centrally funded model for expansion but as that didn't happen, then quite simply, a business plan should have been put in place to grow the club. Instead, a megalomaniac owner has flushed millions after million of pounds down the drain and when the public had the cheek not to turn up when he announced KO times, has decided that this is his last year.
London, depending on relegation arrangements being confirmed in January, will be a championship club in 2015 or 2016 and have only themselves to blame.
All I can really think about that is "What a waste"

Quote ="bewareshadows"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!

Well like all RL clubs, I wish you the best financially and fanwise so long as you all finish one place behind us and one ahead of Wigan.
