| If this turns out to be true then I'm finally done with the club. It's not the location as such, that's actually pretty easy for me to get to as I live near Ealing Broadway, but more what this decision says about the club.
My very first game was against Keighley at Hendon FC's old ground on Clairmont Rd, in fact it was the first home game under the Broncos moniker in 1994. It would seem that after all these years, and a litany of business / playing / staffing decisions that generally veer from bad to atrocious, David Hughes has returned us to a worse condition than when I first rocked up.
Playing at Ealing Trailfinders tells me that not only is the club in a terrible state but that everyone involved, from Hughes to the RFL, has actually given up on us every being anything other than a small, badly run Championship club. A rich man's plaything. Then you see Wigan, with the RFL's and Broncos' blessing, bringing games down here and already wooing big name sponsors. The community clubs are in a terrible state, after the RFL withdrew almost all of the funding down here. Add this to the fact that there will only be 8 Academies from next season, and our record suggests we won't be one of them but instead a centre of excellence, and the future of Rugby League in London is abundantly clear. There isn't one.
What a disastrous, pathetic state of affairs.

| Aspuoea feel free to toddle off and do that then mate, some of us actually like watching rugby league so personally can't see the appeal of option 3.
Not sure if you realise it's your choice to watch or not.

| Interesting that Trailfinders have a number of secondary pitches which may well meet our needs if we continue to attract fewer fans than Championship 1 clubs.

| Aspuoea, your option three is no option for me. Like Mickey I too enjoy watching Rugby League. It is my choice and I will continue to do so until such time as I decide not to..
So you go and join The Ramblers Association or get a caravan if you want to. I will continue to do what I choose to do.
