| I remember Plough Lane as a bit of a dump in the ‘80s - still far better than Milton Keynes, mind.

| Quote: orangeman "Donny mate.....he just sunk your battleship'"
Have you even read it?
"[iThe Broncos will bring the same injection of people into the town when they are playing – but they will also offer a very different sporting event to anything ever experienced before in Wimbledon. They[/i (London Broncos)[iwill generate interest and then excitement and that will also lead to commercial investment. This partnership really is a win-win for everyone and the start of a new era for sport in the borough.”[/i
I've no "battleship" here at all, it's the Broncos fans who are dismissive of yet another move and they feel yet another layer of support will be lost to the club.....and that is a million miles off this press release........
It's fair enough on any sporting discussion site to discuss the up's and down's of the game..... Wimbledon claim the move is a massive "up", and Broncos fans claimed it as a "down" and only time will actually tell, shouting "troll" instead of discussing the situation sinks nothing.

You seem to have a battleship of your own here?
1. Where does 250/300 come from when Broncos last average championship attendance was 890??
2. Your idea Hughes paying to play at Wimbledon is because he believes people will line up to attend games is the same cynicism that puts you in line with all the London fans who equally don't see this move as a "winner"?
3. And finally "London vanish"??
Not trolling are you or have you fallen out with Mr. Hughes perchance?

If trying to get some threads and conversations going is "Trolling" then fair enough. No I aren't a Doncaster supporter but I don't use a club name to avoid sounding bias towards any particular club, and I wasn't here "years ago", and if I ever overstepped the rules which I did..... I apologised to the Mods........
London's move is one that can take the club two ways, and many fans - well most I read - think it's the end, others take the view it's just the beginning of a return to Superleague - maybe the thread titled could be superleague or bust?
Beyond London's SL ambitions is the ambitions of Toulouse who many believe have promotion in the bag, but don't apparently underpin a TV deal in France, then Featherstone winners yesterday may feel a place in SL should be theirs if not Toulouse? Then can Salford hang on in Superleague given the ground situation - is raising that reality suddenly making me a target of erm....Salford fans??

You made stuff up on the Salford thread regarding my club told falsehoods lied basically made sh*t up yes that makes you a Troll somebody who likes to get a rise (literally a rise) for whatever reason, ow yeah and you continue to make sh*t up on this thread and probably every other thread you destroy.
Just for clarity NOBODY at Salford said we would have to go part time if we left the AJ Bell other than of course YOU.

Nope....but your "the Wimbledon deal isn't done" stance soon started taking on water before sinking completely
Quote: Donnyman "Where does 250/300 come from when Broncos last average championship attendance was 890??'"
Currently there are 500 fans permitted at Trailfinders.....half that number is their current average......the current average is 257 taking the reported attendances in the RL press
Quote: Donnyman "

It's not "my idea" that Hughes believes this....it's a fact. He is on record and in print as saying his hope was the locals in Ealing would come.....but he never spent the time or.money to invite them. As for believing this move isn't a winner.....check our einsteins thoughts on repetition and insanity
Quote: Donnyman " And finally "London vanish"??'"
London Broncos brand is toxic.....any phoenix club that rises from the ashes would be better going back to the crusaders. The only "asset the club has is the academy and if the RFL don't prop that up, you may as well pull up the drawbridge south of sheffield.....
Quote: Donnyman " not trolling are you
Not at all.....exposing you for the troll that you are int trolling. As for Hughes. He's in no doubt as to my thoughts on his time as sole owner of the club and I'm not unaware of his thoughts on anyone who disagrees with him....

That's what I was thinking.
Maybe it should herald & new dawn & be a springboard to bigger & better things for Broncos.
Is the location really that bad for Broncos fans ?

Has it not dawned on anyone else that it isn't:
a/ the location, be that Charlton, Twickenham, Charlton, Brentford, Twickenham, Barnet, Ealing or Wimbledon.......
b/the stadium itself, be that a football stadium, rugby stadium or wedding venue or football club in need of urgent income to pay off its loans
c/ whatever the club calls itself, be that London Fulhamcrusaderbroncoquinbroncos RL or anything else
There is a common denominator in every failure of the club to promote itself. Unfortunately, without him there'd probably be no club at all, but without a shadow of a doubt, David Hughes reluctance to promote the club and instead expect 'curious locals' to come to a game and get 'hooked" is 100% why the club he took sole charge of in 2007 with 4k fans, a mid table SL squad playing in a rugby stadium is now a mid table (at best) 2nd tier side with 250 fans who are paying a similar rent to a soccer club now to the one they paid a rugby club 15 years ago......and before anyone bang on about his £20 or £30 million investment, he's flushed the same amount again in fan revenue and central funding....I'd laugh if it wasn't so criminal!
I'd love to be wrong......but I'm not!

Everyone knows Donny is a troll and just ANOTHER reincarnation of a long-standing troll on here. The fact is he and a few others killed this site years ago and even the mods can't be ar$ed policing the site anymore..
Let's just be thankful people reply to Donny on here as he obviously has no mates in real life so this is the nearest he'll ever get to human interaction. God forbid he ever tried to chat to a woman.... now that would be entertainment in itself.

Drake and TOTALRLFACIST.COM have a lot to answer for.
They are a sycophantic bunch of RL fans who refuse to publish any negativity for fear of them selling a few less copies to their ever aging and ever shrinking audience...... Born out of love for the game but now bitter and twisted and on life support by ripping of pensioners who can't be bothered to log on to the internet and read their exclusives a week before they're printed
I only buy it for the attendance announcements
