Obviously I don't expect you to name sources, but is that reasonably accurate about the RFL blocking Gillingham or just a bit of speculation?

| I heard the same from Quins sources a few weeks ago.
Sad to say, I've since heard the opposite from someone connected to one of our players, so I am not at all sure now that Gillingham won't come off.
Think we'll end up wherever we can afford (and that may be Gillingham).
BTW, all the stuff about players having to move to Kent is a red herring, imo. They will continue to live and train where they are and just drive to wherever on matchday...no different from a lot of the journeys the Northern players do.
Still live in hope that good sense may prevail and Quins will continue to host us for an affordable rent.

| Its never going to be easy for any London side, the game in the south lacks any kind of identity.The clubs changed its name, and venues far too often. I traveled in from Essex to the game and it took me just over 3 hours. I remember going to Craven Cottage to a c c game and the place was packed. One of the safety team on duty on Sunday said that it would be Londons last season in SL. I remember going to Craven Cottage for a C C game and the place was packed
One things for sure your present ground aint the future. Why not take the game on the road, visiting and playing the east of London.
I wish you all the best for the future , Im sure the club are trying to pull the crowds in and hopefully things will look up after a couple of good results.

£12 entrance, I think they said £6 for concessions. No plans for season tickets at the moment, but looking at a "membership scheme", I'm not sure what that involves though

Vaikona's disappearance for "family reasons" even before they start is a bit of a downer.

True, but I reckon they've made a smart move in appointing Tony Benson.

Fair enough. I'm begining to wonder if the RFL has had a basinful of us and would be more than happy to wave bye-bye. I know that I tend (sic) to bang on a bit about the Crusaders, but when I see a Championship 1 side get in over 400 for a pre-season friendly with an amateur team and the supporters in their new replica tops buzzing with enthusiasm for the season to come and then contemplate the disaster that we are I couldn't in my heart of hearts critise the RFL if they did give us the boot!

I think the allocation of no group RLWC games to a london ground speaks volumes of the RFL's attitude to the capital.......
NZ v PNG & Australia v Ireland would all have come close to filling the Stoop IMHO and I doubt either will get 15,000 where they are scheduled to be played now.

IIRC the RFL wanted 'host towns' to provide certain things like marketing and community events for the games they've been allocated. I don't think Boris / GLA / Councils / Stadia bid for any games to be held in London.

It would be disapointing to say the least if the broncos and the rfl hadn't pushed the local council for help to put on a rlwc game
