Good positive step forward, well done Tony and all.

What did he say out of interest?

BU is Aldershot area.

Guildford is the training facility that Quins RU use-It's not a playing ground, there are no stands. A number of the womens World Cup games were played there.

I suspect The Aldershot Military facilities are also being considered as a training base(Quins RU and the British Lions RU have used them in the past). A grass patch with run down changing facilities on the edge of the A3 is not suitable for a top club to train at.

Welcome back TR. I hope his remit includes the ongoing development of the youth programme-Something he never really got involved with previously.

His coaching staff appointments will be interesting-A new fitness coach is in, just needs a No 2 and 3. It would be interesting to know what he "offered" Powell in the new structure.

He was so pppppped off that he congratulated all the Broncos players on their performance ( see other thread ).

Rob - TS said (laughing) that he'd heard quite enough of the fans chanting Tony Reas' Barmy Army!

Really surprised that Tony has accepted the challenge of taking us forward.
I spoke to him after the Salford game & he was adamant that his interests in Australia would prevent him from taking the Managers job.
So glad that David Hughes & the players have persuaded him to take the job & us onto better times.
I'm actually looking forward to next season now, wherever we're playing. (Hope sense prevails & we stay in London)
"Welcome home Tony"

Well said, Bronco Billy.

Gets me thinking I should go to all the away games next season!

Well I hold my hands up for my part in that then- sorry Tony!

No chance of me attempting to try that again Dan. (Even with the team playing as they are now, all next season)
Been there, tried it, failed !!!!
Total respect to the small band of supporters who manage to do this.

being a northerner and never been to gillingham is it that bad

Really pleased to see Tony Rea as coach.

Probably wishful thinking on my part, but given his history wth the club, I would imagine he was given inside information on where we are playing next year and that this was a factor in him accepting the role
