Quote: Dan Stains woz God "No...I agree that The Stoop is the best ground but we are not paying the bills.
Who can blame DH for wanting to save some money...if he can get a better deal elsewhere, I don't blame him for taking it.
Will be very sad to leave The Stoop though.'"
DH is only working to earn enough to subsidise the Broncos losses.
He cannot sustain these losses when he retires.
If DH is retiring he has to increase his revenue (dificult with the team playing the way it has been) or/and cut his costs.
I love the Stoop and although its a fair journey to get there the facilities are worth it. However, if the rent is unsustainable i accept a move may be necessary to keep us going as im not paying the bills.
Moving to Gillingham will certainly lose a lot of fans from the west side in the same way we lost east side fans when we moved from Charlton. It may be a cheaper rent, but whether their income increases or is even maintained is debatable but it is DH's money and his risk not ours. If he asked me, Brentford or Leyton would maintain our fanbase - small as it is - and makes better economic sense. With a winning team (and we should be mid table with this team) the impact should be greater within London i would think because we have a lot of fans currently not attending because of whats been happening on the pitch (and partly off it as well) who would hopefully return if the team performed to its potential. These fans are unlikely to return to Gillingham.
