Yes, hence the new full range of merchandise they have just introduced in that very article.

Seems you're dammed if you do and dammed if you don't when it comes to rugby shirts...

Just the shirt sponsorship money, as they will be giving up their own individual deal that will have been more lucrative than the smaller clubs, so unless a new deal matched the clubs old deal, it should be distributed based on shirt sales.

If Leeds were to release a new home jersey this year but it was for 2 years and kept last years away shirt for this year, I would be happy despite the obvious lack of income for the club.

So would I. But Leeds are in a slightly different position to London, they need every penny. The fact this range has been released only after Xmas suggests to me anyway that they've dropped a ball. Most clubs are (or should be) savvy enough to have their merchandise and home shirt out before Xmas.
I just don't see a downside to changing the shirt each year and it has the upside of selling more.
I'm a big supporter of London, I just wish they'd get their bloody act together.

No doubt once our Cricketing CEO has located a Cricket stadium in deepest darkest Kent for the team to play out of next year, they will roll out a new shirt, manufactured by a cricket wear manufacturer that is apparently not very good quality, with a new badge and the same total lack of business accument that the club are renowned for!

September 8th the Broncos season ended last year.....4 months to get any kind of stock in the shop We have less than 1,000 ST holders, but even if all of them only spent 40notes at Xmas, that represents more than the gate receipts from a home game in 2012

IS THAT ALL?????????

Sorry, but that is woeful. I like the idea of London being in the league and producing talent but how long can they be allowed in the top division on the back of "it's good for the game to have a team in London"?

890 I believe was the figure last year.....as for being alowed in the top division, we don't cost the other 13 teams a brass farthing and are currently debt free....oh, we've never finished bottom either, so I reckon are entitled to be in the top division...it's just that we have poop crowds and a management who have no idea how to change that.

You've had chance after chance to get bigger crowds and have failed. Somebody else should get a turn now.
