| Quote Hedgehog King="Hedgehog King"The RFL have enough cash to fund an academy in London, they don't have the cash to fund a SL club with very poor crowds. I expect and hope to see Broncos academy playing the top SL sides even if Broncos drop a division (or even two).'"
Really? At the moment with the fall in Sports England funding and the number of employees being made redundant that is not an expectation I would have.
Of course the Sky money, which Broncos would have received, could go into paying for an academy. I'm sure the other SL clubs will agree and not just divide it up amongst themselves like they did with Bradford.

Neither are in the SL academies leagues (unlike Featherstone and Sheffield)
The vast majority of heartlands Championship clubs can't afford to fund set ups at that level.

| It is time for the CEO to go as well, but maybe too late in the day to save LB

| Gutted, best player by a mile. However, we need a home grown squad. The days of 34 year old overseas players has to end.

| There will be no SL in London from 2015 if not 14. The game will retreat to its limited gene pool and wither from any sort of national platform.

| Quote Hedgehog King="Hedgehog King"The best southern lads will do as you suggest but there are more than enough for a semi-pro club.
How many northerners did Hemel need to recruit?
Are you suggesting that your academy isn't better than theirs?'"
I have huge respect for Hemel but this thread sees people talking about Championship not Championship 1 - where Hemel have benefitted from several Broncos lads on loan who certainly ain't London born.
Living in Aldershot I often watch our juniors and have seen the four southern Championship 1 teams this season. My honest belief is that we would currently struggle to field a competitive Championship unless we hold players who would almost certainly do better than Championship.
I should add that things are a lot better than they used to be and if the youth development can be maintained a good London Championship team is far from a pipe dream
