Good attendances may equally indicate that the operation could be run like a circus.. pitch up a new site each week, do enough to attract a one-time crowd with no need for repeat business, no need to establish roots... it's surely the way forward.... icon_wink.gif

Some interesting comments. For the record I'm not a fan of the club moving away from the Stoop for a number of reasons, most raised by Gutterfex a few posts back, however Ben's original piece raises some interesting questions.

Quote: jaybs "Gutterfax you can list all the positives you perceive about the stoop, which sound impressive, but how many of them generate income directly for London Broncos? '"

All matchday activity, bar, food concession rent, shop...all count as London Broncos takings.....but it's a stupid question anyway......there are no fans there to spend any money....which dovetails nicely into....


Quote: jaybs "You keep Pleading for more time to be allowed at the stoop,'"


.....please point out where I said more time was needed?

As for Blaming David Hughes.......I 100% do blame him. It is insanity to spend as much as he does with no budget for marketing.......OH, your request to not come back with it being about marketing holds no water either. It is 100% to do with lack of marketing and 100% the fault of the guy bankrolling the club for neglecting the one area that would have provided an opportunity to become self sufficient, attract at least 1 paying sponsor and maybe appeal to another landlord to offer us an incentive to move.

Your continued insistance that a move is the way forward is only matched by your total lack of anything like evidence or analytical research to back it up, other than your belief that west has failed.

A move to a new ground would probably cost something like 100,000 pounds.....with staff not moving and needing to be replaced, moving costs, printing and administration etc......give me 40% of that and I'd get you 10,000 for the visit of HKA in the last game of the season.....it's what I do for a living...I deal in facts, forecasts and results, not imaginary stadiums in east London built by RL pixies and occupied by 10,000 imaginary east london RL fans........

Really?

Like telling us we were paying £400,000 to play at the stoop, or suggesting that a video would cost £10,000 to make without actually knowing how it was made.

Fair enough RB......I freely admit that the 400k figure was wrong....the video is still an unknown......apart from the fact it was a total waste of time. If it cost a gold coin it was a waste of time!

I don't care if they are paying £40,000,000k a year for the stoop of if they have James Cameron making their videos...the club is fast becoming a joke..........The latest gem is £20 for a coach to and from Orient.......I charged £15 return to BRIDGEND WALES in 2009, £20 to Wakefield...........another gem from the club that is being run so well.
A travel card for the day would set you back £7.50......what genuis decided a £20 coach was a good idea icon_lol.gif

It's what I did most of my career as well!! that was facts and successful results! we are never going to agree gutterfax, that is just life. I do not say it has to be East London, but I do feel our hands may be tied one day soon about the ground we use and any company would be looking and have future plans/ideas.
