Surely London Broncos would be a better bet with its huge population and untapped potential with many people from many backgrounds, who perhaps wouldn't be aware of Rugby League and don't want to play soccer.

Brisbane broncos and Richard Branson couldn’t make it work. London needs someone with serious dollars like a David argyle

Aussie nrl owners won’t want to tip in much especially longer term

Salford has potential to be a decent club under the right owners

And London has way more soccer clubs than Manchester does

I don’t think that’s really an issue other than Liverpool. Just need a decent investor and exemption of relegation for five years (or ten years would be better)

Reality is London needs $5mill plus every year for a very long time to stay in SL and grow. Its not small change for anyone. You have to ask what is the ROI on that likely to be for a individual or other club owning them?

Shame as they have finally found the ideal home for them to become more established.

Common sense prevails!

THE promotion and relegation proposal tabled by Batley Bulldogs and Dewsbury Rams has been turned down, with the voting revealed.

The motion, put forward by Kevin Nicholas (Batley) and Mark Sawyer (Dewsbury), proposeed: “that IMG Grading is amended such that if the winner of the Championship Grand Final is a Grade B club it shall be promoted to Super League either to replace the lowest ranked Grade B club in Super League or as an additional club if all clubs in Super League are Grade A.”

The current system is that the top 12 graded clubs will make up Super League in 2026, regardless of their finishing positions in 2025.

League Express can exclusively reveal that 14 voted in favour, with 16 against and ten abstentions, meaning the current IMG structure for 2025 remains.

Nicholas previously admitted to League Express that he didn’t know if his proposal would obtain majority support at the Council meeting held today, while he also wished to clarify what the motion sought to achieve.

“I haven’t canvassed support so if it succeeds is not my main concern,” he said.

“But if it doesn’t succeed and then it all goes pear-shaped next year, I can at least say I’ve tried.

“For example, let’s imagine the Bulls beat York in the Grand Final next year, but let’s say that York and Toulouse are put into Super League instead of them (because of higher gradings).

“What a car crash that would be!

“I will clarify at the meeting that where there is reference to the lowest ranked B club it is meant as the lowest in the league table, not the lowest Grade B grading points.”

Interesting change to catchment criteria to promote development in other areas. Might stop the London fans whinging.

Council will give them a sweet lease including allowing them to keep the bar and food on match days and other game day revenue
