Have any teams been affected by the bombs?

[Azkatro]

This thread is to hopefully clear any possibility that players or staff involved around the ESL competition (or lower grades) have not been badly affected by yesterday's terrorist attacks in London. I'm not too confident in my English geography but there's only one London team isn't there (Broncos)?

I haven't heard anything but given the gravity of the event it will take a while for these kinds of details to come out.

London Broncos have a home game this weekend, but it's in Perpignan France (vs Leeds), so probably a safe bet that all involved with the playing side of things had already left for France?

There's also London Skolars in National League Two, but they don't appear to have a game scheduled this week. A few amateur sides closer to London as well, but like you said details will take a while to come out.

I couldn't really see a Bronco's game being affected or targeted by terrorists when there's EPL teams in the area...

 

[bartman]

Yeah, true. But I think he meant more if anyone involved in league was caught up in the injuries or casualities?

Whatever happened to the London Storm?

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

They're still around...i think they're the South London Storm now? They play in either National League 2 or 3.

London Skolars have a team in National League 2 (=3rd division). They get lapped by teams like York though on a fairly regular basis.

South London Storm play in the Amateur Conference (=5th division?) - http://www.summerconference.net/ - a breeding ground for clubs to get promoted up the ranks and into semi-professional status if they want and are good enough.

Well there you go

Ah true, cheers for the info.
