London Broncos' search for a new ground for next season's Superleague goes on but club officials have ruled out Fulhan's Craven Cottage as a possible option.

Broncos spokesman Nic Cart-wright said: "Although matters are still progressing well, not a lot has changed in the past couple of weeks, suffice to say that we remain in discussion with a number of potential partners, all of whom are fully aware of our desires and objectives.

"A simple tenancy agreement is not what we are after and long term permanency is always at the forefront of our discussions.

"This process will take time and, as I have said before, it is essential that our fans remain positive and patient.

"I can say the clubs we are talking to are all keen for rugby league to thrive in London.

"As for Fulham, it is not a surprise that they were unable to meet our needs given their own planning issues. But they were very professional and courteous to deal with."
