| London have been a joke for a number of years now and it's pitiful to watch a "capital" team fairing so bad. I would like to see a successful London team, I really would, but I feel that the Broncos are too much of a mess to achieve it. Drop down, get a proper stadium sorted, get a good youth system in place (shouldn't be an issue, they have already brought through some handy players) start winning games in the lower leagues and grow a fan base. No new fans will be acquired whilst getting pummelled week in, week out by Super League opposition, winning teams get new fans, they can achieve this lower down. Then when all this is achieved, get a decent backer, get some cash behind a promotion push and do it the right way... Like Widnes have done / are doing.
Would be a shame to see the once mighty Bulls gone from the top division, but it needs to happen I think. Would like to see them come back stronger in a few years time, but feel a rebuild job (financially and on the field) would be an easier task outside of the demands of Super League. The fans are there, the stadium is there, get the basics sorted, get financially stable and we'll see you again in a few years... Only worry is this may seriously dent their youth development and strengthen Leeds significantly, which as a Wigan fan I don't want!

Care to use the rest of that sentence? I said pitiful effort from a capital team, and stick by it. Consistently in the bottom 3, consistently one of, if not the worst attendances, switching stadia, switching names/colours in a bid to find some sort of identity or stay financially stable. Embarrassment of a professional sports clubs.
Clubs finishing below you comedic gold? Ok so over the last 5 years teams that have finished below you are...
Hudds, Hull FC, Castleford, Catalans, Wakey, Widnes, Salford...
Apart from the quickly forgotten other expansion failure that was the Crusaders, most of, if not all those teams have strengthened (granted some financial issues for a couple on the way), some of them even challenging for honours, but London have been consistently awful.

| Quote JEAN CAPDOUZE="JEAN CAPDOUZE"After tonight's humiliating performance by Salford, losing to a youthful Wigan side missing ten first choice players, it seems to me that Salford might be better off putting Dr Koukash's millions into youth development while they regroup in the Championship.'"
in that case, perhaps Leeds should be lambasted the same... afterall, it was the same youthful Wigan side that beat them!!!!
Imbicile lol

London have finished in the play-offs twice and second once as well as making a cc final. They are currently debt free without any outstanding debts other than to the owner who doesn't want it back. They have been uncompetitive since the RFL and the pit village idiots made Lenegan walk away.....
The fact that they will be regated is not a comedy at all.......in terms of what could have been for RL in th UK, it is a tragedy.
Btw......Salford, wakey, castleford and widnes from the teams above have a worse SL record than us......regardless of how you skew it

I'm not skewing anything sweetheart, don't get precious... When did they finish second exactly? I said they've been a joke for a number of years now, not since their inception to the competition. They are at present and have been for sometime, dire and showing no signs of changing that.
I don't know whether they're debt free or not, but it wasn't even 8 months ago that the RFL were going to take over their Cumbrian and London academy because the Bronco's couldn't handle the "financial burden" of it and academies were thriving in London and shouldn't be allowed to be hurt by a failing London team . Yeah, sounds like all is well and deep with London's pockets!
