The club started a unique campaign understrength and out of their depth. Now they face an even bigger challenge

Mad Monday had a whole new meaning for London Broncos: the owner quit, the stadium flooded and star players went looking for work.

It comes to something when your home ground flooding is not your biggest concern of the day. But that was the case at relegation-bound London Broncos as owner David Hughes confirmed he is no longer going to fund the club. It’s not just the out-of-contract players who could be without a job come the end of October: the whole club is at risk. Broncos fans face a nervous autumn to see if they will even have a Championship club to watch next season.
